[Date] What's happening in my life now

Being a grandparent of seven is fun, exhausting, wonderful and extremely special! We are “Nana”and “Bugga”. We are part of our class reunion committee and are planning our 55th reunion for 2020. Unfortunately our class reunion cancelled due COVID pandemic that has changed our lives and the whole world! One of wonderful and happy events is our Dodgers and their success!

So so much since I graduated in 1965...too much good stuff!
Family and friends are what is important and special. I have been part of our class reunion committee since graduating and planning for our 55th reunion this September.
