It was such fun visiting with old classmates. The two in the picture discovered that they live not far from each other. He does massage therapy and she is a well known batik artist. While at the party, he did an adjustment on her because he noticed her limp. She said she noticed an improvement immediately.
We didn't get out our measuring tape, but the two who came the farthest came from Equador and Sweden. Both returning from vacations and business. I came from across the bay.....there shoulda been an award for that !!!
We were a small country school 50 years ago, didn't have the greatest teachers, but we did come from good families who expected us to do our work, and I was amazed at how well most of us have done in life. One of our favorite classmates has never attended a reunion as he has always been too busy doing other things.....and I don't have a clue what they are!!!!! He was waaaay beyond my feeble brain.
