Sounds amazing!  Maybe, some day I will make it to France, who knows, stranger things have happened 😊. My hubby is not at all interested in leaving the  USA, so that lessens the likelihood that I will make it, unless I can find another to travel with.

It is funny to see you address me as Katherine, I was Kathy all through school.  Our year will be great no matter what happens!  Have a blessed New Year!

Margo Huff

Happy New Year everyone. 

Connie Carter (Brown)

Maybe we can work something out?

Hi to you all, and thanks to Connie, Margo, Kathy, and Ann for the happy birthday wishes.  Yes, France is a beautiful country, but especially in the summer (unless you like skiing).  It is further north than Maine so even the summers are usually not too hot.  It seems like everywhere we go there are beautiful fields full of crops and the topography is such that there always seems to be a beautiful view right around the corner.  Our home has been a "project of love", rescueing a building that would have been torn down in just a couple of years due to neglect.  Except for taking some vacation time during the 90 days we are allowed to stay in the EU, we have worked hard to bring the place back to life.  We currently have 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms completed, and a new kitchen, laundry/pantry room, living room and a great room.  I will be working in the attic, or grenier, this year to finish it off creating another bedroom and bath plus a nice living area as well.  For those who like to see the world France is a great place to visit.  We will have the place full almost the entire time we are there this year, hopefully getting a little help at the same time!  Anyway, happy 2020 to everyone and I hope we are all able to have another reunion soon.  Phil

Thanks to Ann (Martinez) for the birthday wishes.  I did have a great time.  Alison and I, along with 2 friends went to a New Year's Eve celebration with a great band and lots of entertainment.  Since it was in Mexico the dancing was mostly Salsa and that was alot of fun.  I hope you had a great day as well and that all is going well for you.  Phil

Hi Eleazar,  good to hear from you.  I couldn't make the reunion either but plan on making the next one!  Now, for very important items:  Happy Birthday to Annie.  I know it is early but these days we need to celebrate every day we can, no?  I hope everyone is doing well.  Phil

Phil Drain

Hi Ann,  I hope that this birthday won't be remembered for the horrible situation we are having in the world right now!  We have had to cancel travel plans and have hunkered down at home to try and stay safe.  I hope you, too, are able to stay healthy.  Try and enjoy your birthday, ok?  Phil

Eleazar Huizar

WOW !  HOW GREAT TO HEAR FROM U PHIL AND CONNIE. ITS GOOD THAT WE R STILL CELEBRATING BDAYS AND SEEMS WE R STILL WELL TO KEEP IN COMMUNICATION AND THOUGH IM SURE WE ALL HAVE SITUATIONS WE DEAL WITH BUT WE CAN STILL LOOK AT ALL OUR PAST AND PRESENT EXPERIENCES AND LOOK FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS DAILY. I HOPE FOR THE BEST TO ALL OUR CLASSMATES AND THAT WE CONTINUE TO KEEP IN TOUCH. EVERYBODY B BLESSED AND PTL ALWAYS! ❤️😊

Phil Drain

Hi Rick,  I hope this birthday isn't remembered for all the turmoil going on around the world.  I assume that you are not preaching to a full house these days, no?  I miss going to church but Alison and I are hunkering down as much as possible.  There will be a lot of statistics (deaths) from Corona but we don't plan on being part of them.  Anyway, have a great day and stay safe.  Phil

Phil Drain

Hey brother John, I hope you are doing fine and that you have a great birthday.  Since my family is staying at home for an indefinite period of time I hope you at least are able to make the most of your special day.  What a thing to remember, no?  Take care,  Phil

Phil Drain

I am sorry to hear that Janice has passed away.  Take care, my friends, these are troubled times.  Phil

Hi Mike,  I hope your 69th is a great one for you.  I'm getting way to close to 70, but seeing that we just lost another classmate every year is precious, no?  Anyway, enloy your day, and year, and stay safe.

Phil

Phil Drain

Hi Donna,  Welcome to the 69 club, lol.  I actually only have 6 weeks left and I hit the time when I go backwards:  I will be 68 again.  Right?  I don't know of any benefits to turning 70, do you?  Anyway, I hope all is well.  Stay safe.

Phil

Connie Carter (Brown)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHIL....and a very Happy New Year, I hope it is better than 2020!!!  Have a great day!!   From your forever friend, Connie

Ann Moore

Happy Big 70 B'day Phil!! Isn't it great to always go first and test the waters for the rest of us! Hope you had a fabulous celebration and best wishes for a great 2021!!  🎉🎊💜  Ann

Phil Drain

Hi Ann.  Yes, it is great to go first!  In fact, it is great to have each year, no?  We are all at the age where we can expect to lose one of "our own" (classmates) each year and that is no fun.  I sure hope Covid 19 doesn't take its toll on any of us.  Stay safe, keep healthy.  Phil

Eleazar Huizar

HELLO EVERYBODY !  HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY LINA MONTANEZ-SANCHEZ !  ANOTHER YEAR FOR US GUYS TO STAY IN TOUCH. PTL ! 🗣🙋🏻‍♀️😎✝️

Phil Drain

Good morning, and happy birthday to Anni.  It is probably already the day after for you, if you are in Denmark.  Am I right about that, or just getting old?  Any way, I hope all is well and that you are staying healthy during these trying times.  Phil
