Greetings in 2017! Another 5 years gone and obviously, I'm another 5 years older. No more children (6 was enough)thank goodness, but I do have another grandchild, making that 9 now. They are truly my reason for getting up in the morning. I've spent the last few years taking care of my beloved dad, who passed away at 97 a couple of years ago, he was my hero! In addition I babysit often, attend college at Anoka Ramsey Community College (online), which I started 2 years ago. I never was interested after high school but I love the classes I'm taking now, just because they interest me. I've taken 8 cruises now, my favorite thing to do with friends and family. I love genealogy and tracking my family, which I have back to the 1500's and found my family's connection to the holocaust, even without being Jewish. I won't be at this reunion, my disabilites have gotten worse and getting around is not easy for me. As I read the "In Memory" section just now, i was really sad to see so many of the classmates I remember have passed. I know our graduating class was huge ( I remember because I was at the end in the "Z's") but it is still sad to realize how young they all were at their deaths. I hope all of you are healthy and enjoying life. I wish you all well! God Bless!
