Thought I'd place one last photo here. That's Vito DeCesare (1961) and his wife, Pat having breakfast with Shirley and me on Monday. At each reunion Vito and I get together every morning to run together (at 79 it's now jogging not running for me!) We left soon after this for our trip back to the west coast.
Cheers to all!!
