As we hunker down and quarantine ourselves, let's look to future fun... Does your class have its own Facebook Group? If not, consider creating one. Jim Shelley and Anne Pedone (Classmates of 1969) and I are inviting classes to set up reunions - especially for the milestone years. We are here to help you in any way!! Just let me know....
