Folks, as our golden years are nearing for all of us, we should seriously look to have a reunion as soon as possible. Time is not standing still. In fact, I think it is speeding up. This year came and went fast, partly due to the pandemic. Summer did not feel like summer here until it was almost over. We can talk about getting together for a reunion or lets just do it. I miss all of you as I reflect back on the years we were together everyday in class and enjoying the summers of our youth. Let's see if we can't come up with a date for next year's reunion. As we do not know what tomorrow brings let's seize the opportunity while we are alive and well. Covid was a real wake up call of what can happen.
