Darlene Gregoire:  

Who am I really? That's a hard question to answer. Time changes us physically and experience changes our perspectives and personalities. After a divorce, I married an amazing man with interests similar to mine. Since our marriage on December 9, 1978, we have traveled across the U.S. twice, been to Canada and Mexico and did this on our Harley.

Jene wants to go to Alaska on the Harley but I don't know if I am up to that trip. Health issues. I love spending time with my grandchildren. I have nine. Most of them are teenagers. Two are in their early 20's. They are full of surprises, mostly good, some not so. One of the things that I have come to look forward to is the All-Class Reunion at DelGrosso's Amusement Park in the summer. It's great reconnecting. Most want to know who you are now and how your life experiences have brought you to this point in your life. I consider myself fortunate to have known each and every one of you in the class of 1965. Some of us traveled through our entire time in school together. I recently found a picture of my first grade class and was surprised that I could name most of the people in the picture. Mrs. Miller was our teacher. I still remember the day she paddled either Dean or Dale Merritts. There was an old crank up record player in the room and we put our heads down on our desk and listened to music after recess. I hope someone will read this and remember those times. Does anyone remember 2nd grade in the basement at the Presbyterian church and how it would flood...Expand for more
