     I have been busy since graduation.  My life has been one problem after another.   I never married, but I have had two wonderful boy friends.

     I want to thank my classmates, Kathy and Linda.  They held the school together.  I thank all of my classmates.  I am excited to come to the class reunion.  I was so excited when I realized it would work out. 

    I depend on my Mom and Dad.  I apologize for not making it to the reunions.  I think, we women should have a slumber party.  I forgot to say my life has been rich in blessings so I don't mind a lot of problems.
