From Dianne:Great job and a resounding thank you to those who took the initiative to put this together. It was fun to go through. I live in Denver, CO so anyone in this part of the state please do contact. It would be fun to get together.

I lived in Hawaii for some years and co-owned a video production company. Check out www.tropicalvisions.com for some rad volcano footage. Ivory and Sage,my kids, grew up on the Big Island. Both live on the Mainland now. Ivory in CA, Sage in CO. Both successful and happy. Ivory is a successful model www.ivorymay.com and Sage in Marketing.

I have been a marketing/biz dev director since moving back to Denver 19 years ago. Lots of different companies lots of diversity. It's been a good life so far. I have much for which to be thankful.

Sending out love to all you Indians. I do stay in touch with many of my friends. Some through FaceBook (Aretemis Bodor), some through Words With Friends, and some by phone calls. I count all of you as precious. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

From Kenn:Retired and living in Tucson, Bike 30 miles 3 times with an "old folks" bike club, read and garden as well as you can in a desert. No rich Kansas soils and it does get hot in summer.
50 years is a long time. If you don't feel it then just think, the year we graduated the classes of 1918 were clebrating their 50th.
Will post a current picture as soon has I can get it photo shopped well enough to take off a decade. Will become a grandfather for the first time in February. Of all the great fantacies I have had over the years, sleepiing with someones grandmothr has never been one of them. My wife of 44 years tells me to get over it. I am 6 months older than her and she can complain too
