MUW Class of 1981

Hoping everyone has a wonderful time this weekend at MUW Homecoming! I am truly sorry I will not be there due to the debut of my granddaughter's play. She wrote it and is directing it at her school, The Norwalk Conservatory, in Norwalk, CT. I will miss you all, but family comes first.

My Mom, Beverly Jones, will be attending (at least on Saturday); so, I do hope everyone will say "hello" to her and help her get around. She doesn't move as fast as she used to, but then none of us do.

I hope you take lots of photos and send them to me or post them up on this class page.

Look who was having a reunion year, Class of 1980 (our big sisters)! Can’t believe our 45th reunion is next year and our 50th is in six (6) years! We'll hae to get started on reunion plans - especially for our 50th. This year's golden girls, Class of 1975, had 70 classmates attend and donated $39,500 to their scholarship fund. It was the largest golden girls class ever; so, we'll just have to break that attendance rand giving ecord!
