It‘s time to get out the old school photos again! Forty-five years since our high school graduation?!!!! Are we that ancient? I was at a college reunion event a few weeks ago and the alumni of each decade were recognized. When the classes of the 1970’s stood up, I thought “gee, how old they look.” I had the same reaction to the classes of the ‘50’s, but I put on my rose-colored glasses and saw nothing but youth and beauty when it was the 60’s turn to stand! That IS the way it is, right? Well, even if we are no longer as attractive on the outside, we still have our ability to laugh at ourselves, to separate the important from the frivolous, and to have a great time with our friends. And that’s just what is planned
for reunion weekend! I look
forward to seeing you all at the
Breaks! Charlene

Bertie, My problem is my personality. I have a terrible personality and I can’t seem to change it. Boys don’t like me very well and I don’t think girls do either. Please
