We don’t have to say much before there is at least a 90% agreement that the past 14-15 months has been one of the worst periods any of us have lived through. The class of 1965 abandoned our monthly lunches after February 2020. I personally grew tired of putting yet another picture on the “In Memory” page. Since the beginning we have lost 12 of our classmates. A few died of Covid, or complications. Others were taken by cancer. All were equally devastating.
It seems now that we are seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel. That brings us to getting the monthly lunches started again. I will be talking to Rodney’s Restaurant to set up lunch for June 17th beginning around 11:30. I would appreciate it if you could reply by email or by replying to the blog on the website. I will need a count on how many will be attending.
In closing, the classmates we lost over the last 15 months were:
