Linda's Story
What a treat it was to meet for lunch in 2008 in Livonia with Peggy Mayton and Sharon Bratton. We're all married now and spent over 4 hours sharing stories and details of the last decades. Since then, there was a "Brightmoor Bash" and lots of Harding Elem. classmates were there.
My husband of 38+ years, Jack,and I met on a quasi-blind date. We were fixed up by our friends and met on his lunch hour at 3:30am at Metro Airport so he could ask me out if he wanted and I could accept if I wanted. We did, and were married about 15 months later.

e REALLY blessed to be able to winter in Pinellas Park, Florida in a very modest mobile home in a very lovely resident-owned mobile home park for seniors. It's hard to think of myself as a senior, but it is what it is.
Moving back enabled us to be able to spend, while we're up north, about 1 day a week with my mom and dad in their Jackson home. Pinochle games changed from 4 handed to 3 handed when my dad died in 2006 at the age of 87, but 80 year old mom is still with us.
Pets, Cuddles - a shitzu-poodle mix dog, Petey - an Eclectus parrot, and Peeps - a parrotlet travel south with us each year. The birds are both hook-bill parrots. Peeps is a miniature one and weighs only 23 grams.
Our daughter Jennifer and her family live in Oregon and Jack's 2 kids from a previous marriage live in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
