Do you see or hang out with any class mates? Who?

Finally 'reconnected' with my best friend Linda Green Paulk after too many years - like time stood still - one of the funniest people I've ever known. After the reunion in 2011 I 'reunited' with so many great friends and like Judy Fowler Hayman said we're going to try to get together soon for lunch. Also 'Facebook' with Pam Jacobs & Debbie Husband. Planning big slumber party soon at Katie's !!!
Also 'talk' to Charles Copeland, David Story, and Abel Lozano.

What would we be surprised to know about you?

Probably wouldn't be a surprise but I've always loved animals and now have 'a zillion' cats (some strays) and my dear dog Mattie. I'm the 'crazy cat lady' that sees that they are fed & watered and loved. We have them 'fixed' and then if they prefer to stay outside, they're free to be on their own. They somehow find their way back at mealtime. They should always know someone loves and cares for them....like people.

Comments:

My son Billy & husband Bill have created Facebook pages "Seeking Justice" in memory and honor of my daughter Meghan who was killed in December of 1981. It also is dedicated to those families who have lost a child at the hand of a murderer and children who are missing. Thank you to my classmates who have visited the Seeking Justice pages - means a lot of my family and me. We love you.

Am in my 22nd year as a breast cancer survivor and have done the RACE FOR THE CURE 12 years now. Was blessed to have Katie with me "in pink" for the 2009 RACE as she is a survivor, as well.
