Wishing all our July classmates a very happy birthday.
Went with my grandson to see Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium yesterday -- Lesson learned - in the movie Mr Magorium said he was not going to be "dead" and that his spirit lives on so he was just "departing" from this world to another place. So I have chosen to use that term from now on - "departed". What better way to honor our "departed" classmates than to remember that they did live, so I have included 2 of our "departed" classmates this month.

Brenda, you are a day after me. We could have toasted had we known! I have to share, Brenda started writing to me because we love animals. So we've been exchanging animal emails and then we find each other at the party and I learn that Brenda doesn't even remember me. I got a kick out of it because I thought she knew me (but she does now). I remember her from school. I love it when it all comes together!
I see that Jim Gersing has my birthday. I often wonder how he is. He was so ill several years ago. Does anyone know how he is doing? He was in Florida last I knew.
I was shocked to learn that Mike Eckert was gone. He seemed so vibrant. Was playing great games with us last year or was it the year before. I know he always wanted to find his girlfriend from high school (in our class but I can't remember her name). I guess it never happened.
New granddaughter arrived. Iam so happy to announce my 5th grandchild. Kamryn was born July 13th at 8:23pm. she weighed 8lbs.2oz. 22 inches long. Mom, Dad and big sis are doing great. What a miracle a newborn....Just had to share with all of you
She's born on Harrison Ford's birthday. And another cancerian in the family. You are too right? Happy almost BD and thanks for sharing this great news. She is a treasure. Five grandbabies is very nice!
