Dear Classmates –

The first paragraph of my work history in the "Illustrious Class of 1945" ended with my retirement in 1986. I am still totally retired and enjoying it very much. The second paragraph covered the locations and vocations of our two sons and daughter, their spouses, and our grandson. Our son, Rick, married in 1990 and he and his lovely wife, Laura, had a baby girl, Kaitlin, on July 7, 1992. That same summer he sold his photography business in L.A., and they moved to Rochester, N.Y. where he is now acquiring a graduate degree in Color Science from Rochester Institute of Technology. Our son, Peter, and his family still live in Manhattan Beach, CA and our daughter, Fran, and her husband still live in Mill Valley, CA. Peter is still with Xerox, responsible for their new software development, and Fran is still doing free-lance graphic design, including all of the graphic design work for ''Meridian" wineries of Santa Barbara. This month we had a family reunion near Ithaca, N.Y. where the above picture was taken. All ten of us are in it - I on one end and Liz on the other- plus, in the middle, Liz's mother (soon celebrating her 95th birthday) and in front of Liz, her sister-in-law and niece. Fran's husband, Fritz, is standing next to me, Peter is looking over her shoulder, Rick is holding Kaitlin and Laura and Vikki are standing next to their husbands. Dick suggested I cover our our traveling. It consists of visiting our children and grandchildren and Liz' mother in California and New York and an occasional golf resort. After talking to Dick about some of the classmates planning to come to the Reunion, I'm almost certain I will be there and look forward to seeing you all again.
