to retire there at the age of 65. I hope to attend the 40 year reunion and see some of the old gang.

My daughter graduates from JU in May. My youngest son joined the Air Force for 6 years. I didn't make the 40th reunion due the passing of my mother at age 91. Hope all have a blessed Christmas.Update 5/8/2008. My next to oldest son just got married and my daughter will be getting married June 21 of this year. That leaves my youngest son who is in the Air Force the last single member of the family. I now have 4 grandchildren. Had to sell my boat to pay for all the weddings. Boy what a loss.
