Jan,
You have always been a breath of fresh air and continues to be! Your posts and comments are excellent and many bring us back to what is truly important in our life journey. High school is a time we were all finding ourselves and perhaps not always the friendliest to each other. But, 50 years later we have all completed a fabulous journey called life…even through the ups and downs each of us faced.
Thank you for bringing us home and back to what is truly significant.
Nancy
Thank you Nancy.
I appreciate your kind words and our new found friendship!
See you on the 14th.

Jan, your daughter and my youngest daughter are the same age. Isn’t it crazy that we’re old enough to have such adult children! You look very happy. I’ve been an activist for different causes over the years, so that’s something we have in common too. Thank you for putting yourself out there to stand up for women’s rights… for human rights!
Lee,we aren’t really old enough to have children of this age. I’m sure it’s a mistake.
I am very happy. My life is full and there have been many exciting adventures, years of work to attain the rights that everyone deserves, and I hope much more to come.
I thought I was done protesting years ago,but I guess not!
Have a love birthday party. She’s in double digits now!
