A Summary of my last fifty years -
last fifty years? How about my first fifty years? I
associate my life to a leaf floating in a stream- I have
been so lucky. Unlike many of you, I had no great driving
ambition - I worked, supported myself, was very independent
and then, by the grace of my Mama (praying to the saint of
the impossible - St. Jude - after all I was 28 years old!!)
my Mr. Right came along. The leaf found sound ground
--'twas love and a great friendship - that leaf landed over
40 years ago. You bet I was lucky or should I say
blessed.
Hopes for the future: That’s
easy - that it keeps on keeping on!
Just wanted to say our Reunion was
great - it was wonderful seeing all of you, well, not
quite all of you. We know who didn't show and I hope at the
next one (no- not another fifty) you can all make it. Take
care
Love to all Lois
