Last spring we took a cruise from New Orleans across the 'pond' that ended in St Petersburg, Russia. Recently, we returned from a cruse to Columbia and southern islands." |

Wise Words
Class Ambassador Sam Lanham
recently wrote on his facebook page...
"Seize ALL opportunities to meet up
with your friends,
such opportunities will become rare
as time goes by." |

Classmate Greeting
"Karen and I have been happily married for 32 years. I worked in the medical service industry for 35 years, retiring in 2005 from Phillips Medical Systems. We moved to FL within a matter of weeks and the only regret we have is that there's always something to do and the years fly by so fast!"

East Meets West

Big smiles lit up the faces of classmate Ron Edgerton and his wife, Susan Krug, as they exited the cold midwest for an end-of-winter visit to the sunny and warmer Carolinas.
