Hello Classmates,

Just doesn't seem possible but here we are, looking at our 50th reunion. All I can say is WOW, when did that happen? The best part is reconnecting with classmates. We have had very successful committee meetings and hope to make this the best reunion possible.

Bob and I still live in Maynard. We have two sons, Craig, still single and Mark, married to Carol. They have two Children, Zoe (11) and Zaden (8).

I guess the most frightening yet exciting experience Bob and I had was back in the 70's. It was much like today with the company layoff's and few jobs to be had. Bob was laid off from Prime Computer. After a great deal of thought, along with the feeling of desperation, we decided to start our own business. We agreed a service business would be the best way to go. After doing our research we thought a glass and mirror company would be a good bet. We decided to call it Suburban Glass And Mirror Co. Fortunately, we had a friend here in town who offered us his commercial garage to get us started. We went ahead and opened the door. We would wait for the phone to ring. Finally, after two to three weeks. The phone rang, Oh boy, someone found us. Much to our dismay, it was the wrong number. After a month or so we started getting business calls. Well, 15 years later we were still in business. Unfortunately, the stress of building and keeping it going took its toll. Bob developed medical issues and the decision was made to sell.

I then took a short term position with Sentry Insurance Company. Almost 20 years later, I was looking at retirement. Bob and I are both retired and enjoy being able to do what we want when we want. Our main joy is being with our grandchildren.
