I am truly amazed that so many of us write that we don't believe that we are celebrating our 40th reunion. Your bodies must be a lot kinder to you than mine has been to me!! The knees, the hips are so uncooperative that I'm in total disbelief!!!
Life is grand! Married to the same Darling for 38 years. Three grown [Thank God] children. Three almost perfect grandchildren.

We still own a Party Store and decorating business on 25th and Hennepin in Minneapolis -- 28 years! I walk to work -- truly the best "happy hour" you could ever imagine!

I have volunteered in Minneapolis Public Schools for 35 years. It is the best! My mother always said,"We owe public education until 6 days after we are dead!! She's was right!

I am also very active in our community and politics! As Sharie Thomas Westling knows we move to the far left in our house!!!

We were all so fortunate to have received such a great base in Robbinsdale schools. I often worry that we are forgetting that we must secure the same education for generations to come.
