Bonnie's Story
So here we are, 40 years later. Who'd a thought? As I look over our names, it feels more like a family reunion than a class reunion...
I went to U of Oregon after graduation but only lasted two years, and transferred to UC Santa Barbara. Graduated with a degree in Psych. Moved to Michigan on a whim and lived there five years.
