Hello friends!
The Reunion committee is having fun planning the 50th Reunion! I was only able to attend the 10th, and the 25th and had fun at both! It is crazy to think we are different but the same.Reconnecting was so easy, and we picked up conversations and visited like it was 1973. I'm hoping to reconnect with more friends. Hope to see you at one or all of the events planned!
We are "Forever Young"
