Karen, I like the way you call us 49 year olds. Somehow that sounds much younger than 50!
Sounds like you have a nice place there in Maine, Patti. I can just see you walking around barefoot in your garden.

Geez Lori I wish I did but no we pretty much are never back in VT. We've moved so many times now I've gotten used to looking forward and not back. We were only in our last home in VT for 18 months. I've lived here longer than I've lived anywhere else. never though that would happen. We looked at moving back to the Burlington area a couple of years ago. The cost of housing was so bad that we would have had to completely change the way we live. Much smaller house, year round work for me. I like having my summers off and we like where we are now. Though we may still move again. Who knows. I would sure love to see you though.

Hey folks, I'm back in the groove as it were. Much family stuff good and bad going on up here and it's been very distracting. I'm on a forced unpaid day off today though I'm playing catch up.
Your trip to Burlington sounds like so much fun Lori, I'm envious. I'm awrfully glad that we still have the blog to turn to. We all live so far away from each. Well some of us.
Hi Janice, I know you're out there! Thanks for the anniversary card. I lied though. I told you it was 25 but it was 24. Math and history were never my strong points. Dave says I should send it back and you can up-date it next year!
Fall is falling and with it the temperatures. I might have to put my sandals away soon. I hate the thought of socks and coats. Ick. Our boys are good but still living at home. That's starting to get old. Kevin starts a new job in early Nov. and we're hoping he gets settled into an apt. real soon. Colin is still hiding out in the kitchen as a short order cook. Wish he'd go back to school but that's not lookin too likely right now. At least they're here in town so we get to see them. When they live away we miss them terribly.
Nice to see you again Brian. Great that the three of you were able to get together. I loved Carbur's. Does anyone remember the Black Cat? You could get yards of beer. It burned down a bunch of years ago. I used to love drinking there. It was challenging not to hit somebody in the head with your glass! I've never seen another place where you could buy your beer in a yard long glass.

Hey look! A photo!
We snagged a passerby to hold our cameras. Thanks to PhotoShop, this one was salvageable.
It was a blast, but there are still so many questions. I really only wanted to talk about the East School/High School experience, and not to reminisce, but to figure it out. Wouldn't it be great to really find out what your classmates were thinking, and thinking about in those crazy days? We did cover some ground, and for that I am deeply grateful. More!

East School was a popular topic. Lori' and Brian's memories were better than mine. I had forgotten about redistricting. It was sort of an intermediate step to being with more kids like the way it would be at Riverside. Lori certainly has dealt with moving around- first coming to East School and then heading to Israel during college. It sounded like it was hard but also a chance to experience new things.
I saw Shorey Wilson from my car just a few days ago. I waved, but she didn't see me.

Did you talk about the old days at East School? I was there for fifth and sixth and had Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Wilson (Shorey's mom). I was redistricted from South to East, that was a very big deal for me......... now I have moved my kids around and I think of that and can relate to how they must feel. So glad you had a chance to get together.
