Life Hello OLD friends! You have no idea how happy I am to be here! I'm curious to know if your lives have been anything like the roller coaster ride mine has been so far. I attended our 20th reunion and got to see a few of my old buds while there, but became ill after only an hour and had to go home. When I got back to Utah, I went straight to the doctor. I had finally had it with mystery illnesses striking at the most inopportune times. Bad news! It was discovered that I had hepatitis C. My liver was failing. Worse news – my marriage fell apart at the same time. Good news! After long and arduous treatments over a six year stretch, I am alive and well. I've even been pronounced ‘cured’! Hallelujah!

I became a 'Mormon' in 1979 and consequently got very involved in genealogical research. I traveled to England in the nineties on a family history quest and so far I have found over 4,000 ancestors in my family tree. My next stop is Australia! Well there you have the highlights. I really mean it when I say, "It's great to be here!" Peace and Love to you all! -Cathy Update 04/07/2006 I am still perfectly well and happy. The kids are same.
