I’m so glad I was able to contact<br />
so many of you. I apologize<br />
to those who weren’t at home<br />
when I tried to contact you. It<br />
sounds like all of us are enjoying<br />
our retirement. I stay busy with<br />
the Red Hatters (my moniker is<br />
“Lady Jane”). My hubby John<br />
went with his brother to South<br />
Africa in Mar. It was an exchange<br />
trip with Rotary International so<br />
they met many other Rotarians<br />
there. We are looking forward<br />
to them visiting us. My daughter<br />
moved to Dallas, TX, from<br />
CO. We are very proud of our<br />
granddaughter, Danielle, who<br />
graduated from CO State U in<br />
May, and of our grandson, Ian,<br />
who graduated from high school.<br />
The other 7 are coming along<br />
nicely. My son, John, flies into<br />
Scottsdale, AZ, now and then<br />
so I get to see him. The police-<br />
Get in The Loop and stay in touch<br />

The class of 1959 celebrated their 50 th reunion October 2-4, 2009. A farewell brunch on Sunday was held at the<br />
home of Marsha and Bruce Johnson. To commemorate the passing of classmates a poem was read and as each<br />
name was read a gold balloon was released. It was a lovely way to remember those who had once been with us.
