Hello Classmates,

I’m back helping Al with the website after hiding under a rock for quite awhile. Here’s hoping good health and good times are keeping you all in good spirits.

Turning 80 this year was rather shocking for me. My celebration lasted several weeks, however, so I soon got into the swing of being honored! And, I enjoyed every last bite of cake and B’Day wishes bestowed upon me.

It certainly got me thinking about you all and wondering whether you’d find it entertaining to share your celebrations with others here on our website. 

I realize that some of you youngsters are still anticipating the “big 80,” and some may have already jumped to 81. In any case, let’s see if I get any takers with this idea.

A button on the main menu bar has been set up as “The Big 80 Share.” Here you may upload a photo or 2 and a brief text. Then, move to your profile page and be as descriptive as you like with as many photos as you like.

I’m ready to enjoy your celebrations. Come join me!
