Springfield College

I come here every now and then, and tonight, after all I've gone through with my family since reunion (my Mother passed Dec. 1), I find I am even more grateful that Paula posted her pics.

My camera decided it had done it's due diligence and was DONE reunion weekend. Other than Paula and Tony, no one has posted pics. Too bad, but I am so grateful they did.

If anyone else has pictures to post, I, for one, would MOST welcome them. We are family, the class of 1968, and I don't want to lose any of you, ever again.

Penney (the tallest one in the class, obviously, since I am always on the top row, lol)

Hi Penney!

I just signed on today after a call from Brownie. 

I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It's hard to get used to losing your Mom... I still reach for the phone when there's something I know my mom would like to hear about and she's been gone for 2+ years.

So be nostalgic, it's good place to hang out.

How do we get people onto this site? Do we know who has e-mail addresses?

So what have you been up to?  I'd love it if you'd come to visit!

I think about you every time I fly through TX.  Now that I'm "retired" my daughter and son have figured out that I have time to babysit while they travel.  So, I've had a free trip to Disney World to help with my daughter's twins and got to hang out with 2 of my sisters who retired to FL in the process.  Also spent a week in Albuquerque with my son's 2 boys so they could go to a conference - that was one boring 6 hour drive on I-25.  Then my daughter flew me back to NYC in January so I could  stay with the kids while they went to Cancun on business.  I think I'm in the clear for a little while now.

So, Tom & I bought a new motorcycle (GoldWing) so that we can travel more extensively on the bike.  The old one was just too uncomfortable for long trips and everything out here is a long trip!  We're putting a trailer on the back to carry extra luggage and our bicycles!

I have also, at the tender age of 62, become certified as a scuba diver - believe that?  We're off to Cozumel in mid-March for some warmer water diving and to hopefully hone my skills(?).  Tom was my instructor so I got special attention but he felt really bad when he realized how blind I am.  I couldn't read my gauges other than by relative position of the needle.  So we ordered a prescriptive mask for me and I look forward to seeing fish as well as needles when we go to Mexico.

So let me hear from y'all! 

Judy

Hi Judy/Penney,  I came across some reunion picks a couple of hours ago and I sent one to Penney.  It was labeled "Heaven".  It was taken around 3AM

Penney, I'm sorry about your Mom..Never easy...

Judy I would love to see you come "roaring" into downtown  boston??!!! on your Bike..  How was your dive??

I'm headed out to SC tomorrow for a football golf tourney.  I'm meeting up with Don Gregory, Mike and Laurel.  Looking forward to seeing them...

Headed up to Saratoga for the SC horse race on Aug. 8.

It's obvious we do not take advantage of this terrific site  set up Tony's son in law.

I will try and figure out how to post some pics.. Take care..XOXOXO "Gilli"

Penny sorry to hear about your mother.

Reunion was a good time and the pictures look great.  If anyone wants to respond I can be reached at candre99@yahoo.com  The 99 is my retirement year not my graduation  date.

Well all, keep in touch and see you in 3 years.
