"We enjoy travel, visiting family in Ohio and family gatherings with our NC families. I am active at our local senior center attending strength and endurance classes as well as weekly line dancing. I walk almost daily with a friend. We have been walking together for over 10 years. Other things I enjoy are reading, the easy Sudoku puzzles in the paper and lunch with friends. I do volunteer work with our church and gardening in good weather. This year we have a trip planned to Copper Canyon, Mexico. We also plan to see more of North Carolina and, of course the 50th reunion in Ohio."

"My favorite memory from BHS would be the 'sock-hop' dances and Mr. Nicoletti. He was a wonderful teacher and listener for all of us."
