If no one writes, no one reads. It's up to you to write to me to share what has been going on in your life. With many of our families grown and living independently (our two sons are in graduate school at UCSD and Cambridge), there should be lots to tell about how we have been redis– covering life! For those of you who are still raising children, it's nice to share what they are doing. Not all of us have been parents, but all of us do have something to share. Please write and let your classmates know what is important in your life." ...

Carolyn and her husband survived last year's firestorm in the Berkeley hills with no damage to them– selves or their property, but they did have to evacuate with no assurance that anything would be standing when they returned. 1966 Shirlee C.
