Upcoming Reunions and Get-togethers

All my classmates,
If you are interested in gathering this next spring/summer for the Class of 1972, start the chatter. I have contacted a few folks, who have said they would like to get together this nest year. We are losing more classmates as we age. [That's you guys and gals, not me]. My thoughts are to reserve a picnic area and do a one day bring your own grub and pub.
