“50 YEAR REUNION, YIKES”... 

If you’re like me, you’ve got to be saying...“50 year

reunion, how can this be, where did the time go”?!?

Let’s see, college, marriage, career, kids,

grandkids, aging parents, retirement (don’t think so

just yet) for some. It’s been quite a journey — two

wonderful sons, three grandchildren (8 months to 8

years), a husband who gathered up my dreams

and turned them into the ride of a lifetime from Ann

Arbor to Chicago, San Francisco, Europe, and all

points in between, providing ever-lasting memories. 

My career in the publishing world expanded my

horizons, and fed my passion for most everything,

including my many hobbies — vegetable gardening,

gourmet cooking, interior decorating, home

remodeling — that have developed into second

careers of varied degrees, keeping life interesting

each and everyday!!

I give thanks to family and friends, as “each day is a

gift” to behold!
