Are you looking forward to the reunion?

Yes - I haven't seen most school friends since 1962. We moved back to the area in 2005. Previously, we lived in Charlotte NC area for 15 years, and before that in Oakville. I worked for a German Company, and travelled the US and Canada, as well as many trips to England and Germany. It is really good to be back!! Except for snow and salted roads, of course.
