I did find Jeannie..she lives in Co. She did not come to the reunion, her son was getting married and they traveled the US that summer in an RV. I can send you her e-mail address via northmiami6@hotmail.com. Can you send me your phone no at that e-mail address..when I lost my phone awhile back I also lost all my phone no's that I had in it. I ...had yours in there , remember exactly where I was when you called to thank me. You are very welcome for my efforts..it is a gift from me to the entire class of NM66. I know how bad I wanted to reconnect with certain people in my life and I had to find them. I knew other people had the same want..the want to find someone again..that reconnection with the people who we shared four or more years with everyday. Our best friends of days gone by. I have a gift for finding people..so I set out to find all 1,200 of us. Did not do too bad..found about 1,000 of us while I lived 3,000 miles away from N. Miami. I am still on the journey. I think whenyou lose your parent's and several friends along the way you want to reconnect with old friends. They are warm and fuzzy. They make you feel good and complete us. When we left NM we left many of our friends never knowing what became of them. When I see classmates finding each other and chatting on FB I smile and sometimes even cry for I ... know that my years of research in finding everyone has worked. It is a good feeling. Bill you know if and when I come that way I will be at you front door..nothing will be able to keep me from knocking..thanks for the invite

Nobody, except Tarilynn, knows me as well as those with whom I went through puberty. I say that "you can never make any new 'old' friends." It just ain't the same. I can talk to certain people, people I haven't seen in 40 years, and the conversation takes off like we spoke a week ago. Amazing!

Hey Bill! Remember me - Ellen Proctor? I married Joel Kirschbaum (for 13 years) and we had one daughter. Anna lives in Tampa with her husband and two little boys. I live in Pittsburgh and have my own company. I help hospitals hire non-medical staff they can't find themselves. Whatever happened to Red Corrado? How did you end up in CA? How are you?

Of course I remember you! I believe I was Best Man (figure of speech) at the wedding. I'd love to get caught up with you. Weren't you and Marcia best of buddies back in the day? I was so shocked by the news of Marcia. Talked with Joel for the first time in 30 years about 3 months ago
