Skipping all that, here we are one year later. Our counter has over 37,000 hits. Isn't that great! We had a fabulous reunion, the one I loved most, mainly because I became reacquainted with so many of you through the blog, before the event. I've also made new friends, folks in our class that I really didn't know well until this last year.
The blog had some bumps in the road and disappointments. Often I thought my life would not end with either a bang or a whimper but with a blog. What an epitaph that would make.
Now the blog chugs along, waiting for new stories, birthdays, pictures and bits of your lives that you may share - things that friendships are made of.
Oh, yes! I finished most of the pruning last week. So what if I missed a year! Does it really matter? I chose the better part.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses
AMEN! GO WILDCATS!!

Ouida,
More than Happy Anniversary to the blog, the blog owes its existence to your dedication and perseverance. I think most people would have given up on the blog and the participants. Thank goodness you didn't.
You have given us all a place to share life's experiences and to become reacquainted and in some cases acquainted with our classmates.
It would not have happened without your tireless efforts.
So thanks and a great big hug ...
Thanks so much John. And thanks for your support and contributions and those of many others this last year. I appreciate all your help.
