Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?
Well, dwelling here in Texas Harriet & I really haven't kept up our class friendships . One of us does get home every couple of years & we try to touch base with Friends but it's difficult & we usually only have a short time which is mostly devoted to family .We did get home more often when the kids lived with us traveling to Watsonville for family celebrations &holidays .I have bumped into different folks when home and those are always fun encounters . Thanks to Bill & his mastery of the website , it's enabled us to interact have fun & keep up with our classmates . Cornelia Tavares Gugale is one I have kept up with & thanks to the last reunion (50th) I have interaction with a lot more classmates & Watsonville friends thru facebook & Email .
