July 2010 - Refreshments at the Nut House in downtown Lansing, then Lansing Lugnut baseball (the Lugnuts won 12-7!), then fireworks. What a great evening! Left to right: Chari and Gene Burd, Pat Caruso, Deb Theaker Moore, Bob Nelson, Mary Egner, Dave and Jill Pasant, Laura Potter

April 2010 - Sharon (Granger) Edgerly-Hanratty writes, "I found this in my email and realized I never sent it to you. Linda Boyd now lives outside of Las Vegas. She came back to Michigan last November to visit family and take a side trip to Lansing to meet Susie (Polihonki) Silkey and me for lunch. (The other gal in this photo is Linda's cousin.) Interesting little tidbit: Susie's niece is married to my son! Susie and I were friends from kindergarten through high school, and now our families are bound together forever through my granddaughter and grandson... her great-niece and great-nephew. Gotta love God's work... the awesome tapestry of lives that He weaves!"

March 2010 - Dave Pasant writes, "I recently took my 13-year-old niece to Kauai, Hawaii, for her birthday. Before an early dinner and a break from the beach, we visited a great gift shop, Sand People, that my wife has loved over the years. As the girls were looking things over, another couple came into the store. The man was wearing a University of Michigan t-shirt. Of course, I had to tease him about his poor choice of garments. We started a conversation about the merits of higher education in Michigan when the proprietor of the store casually mentioned she also was from Michigan. I joked, 'That's why Michigan's economy is so poor... all the Michigan people are in this store!' As the girls made their purchases and we began to leave, the proprietor asked, 'By the way, what's your last name?' I told her, and she said, 'Well, I'm Gail Lee!' It turned out that in all the 30 years I had a place on Kauai, and all the times we had been in that shop, this was the first time we had bumped into each other. She's been on the island for 15+ years, is married to a property manager, and loves it there. We talked about the 2009 reunion and how wonderful WE look compared to everyone else (ha ha... just kidding, no letters please!). She might be able to come this summer to the Lansing Lugnuts game on July 24. A lovely lady (still), and I hope to hook up with her for a longer catch-up session on my next trip to the Garden Isle."

December 2009 - Margie Green, Cindy Cordes, Laura Newport and Jackie Odom in Petoskey, MI.

November 2009 - A trip to Savannah, GA, with Cindy Cordes, Margie Green, Laura Newport and Jackie Odom. Laura writes, "We had a great time, but the weather didn't cooperate the first couple days (Tropical Storm Ida). It didn't stop us... just slowed us down a little. One photo was taken in front of The Wilkes House (family style dining that was highly recommended... 22 different dishes to taste... and then dessert!). And a photo of us with our packages from the shopping portion of the trip. And a photo of Margie, Cindy and me on a bridge in the historic district (Jackie took the photo)."

February 2009 - Linda (Webb) Hendy and her husband Bruce rent a beach house for the month of February on Little Gasparilla Island, FL. There are no vehicles on the island... the only access is by water taxi. This year, Dorothy (Mosher) Montgomery and her husband Dave joined Linda for a week. Linda writes, "We had a ball. Lots of fishing, shelling and relaxing. And would you believe, Dorothy and I talked non-stop?! We always have lots to catch up on, and it's always great to get to spend time together. Hopefully this will become a yearly tradition."
