This site isn't about waistlines, hairlines or credit lines...
It's about lifelines.
It's about reconnecting with our friends from some of the best years of our lives!
Chinese Proverbs:
This year there are several unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11,11/1/11, 11/11/11

Your Reunion Committee plus had a 1965 Girls Weekend March 22 in Marco Island, Florida. What fun we had talking, laughing, and just remember the great reunion we had in Sept. Plus we did a little nightclubing and lots of sun. Here is a pictures of us in Marco Island.
We have several classmates (that I know about) who are fighting an illness (and you know who you are), let's think some positive thoughts to help them along their way.
