Life Coming up on 30 years since graduation. Our two eldest children are out of the house and doing good, our youngest sons girlfriend and our daughter are both expecting children in February, which will make us first time grandparents (bummer, I'm not ready, but I'll adjust).

Her personality will shine with customers and make up for my gruff exterior. I hope that there will be a 30th reunion as it would be interesting to see what changes others have gone through, and I'm not talking appearances as I have nothing to brag about.
