From Vicki (North) Donnelly

Dear Marcia and Martha,You two know how to throw a great party! Thank you for your time and energy in making our reunion so enjoyable! I loved seeing "old" friends after 40 years and look forward to meeting again; however, I won't wait 40 years to attend the next one! Again, thank you for all that you do for the class of 1968! You're awesome!

From Tom Barrington

Thanks to Martha and Marcia for putting it together. As Marcia will attest, I had every intention of coming up, but due to a construction project reschedule at my home I was, unfortunately, unable to. Seeing the blog pictures emphasized even more that I missed out. Attached are a couple of photos.

My wife Marie and I at the Trevi Fountain in Rome last fall.

My daughter Sarah with her boyfriend last Christmas.

The reunion chatter resulted in some fun email and phone exchanges with Hantz, Sharlow and Harrison. I know the effort it took to put this together so, again I thank you. Perhaps we could pick a good place/time and have an annual 'if you can make it' reunion. No work involved and you would never know, year to year, who would be walking through the front door!.....it might turn into an interesting tradition....at this point in our lives, every ten years is far too few parties!......my best to all.......Tom

Zdravka "Doda" (Dodig) Benko '68 and Myrna (Kanrich) Levinson '68

Seeing Doda after all these years was the highlight of our reunion for me. During our high school years, Doda came to America from Yugoslavia (is this correct, Doda?) to live with her Aunt and Uncle (Bozika and Egon Matijevic). Doda soon made a place in the hearts of many of us at PCS. WELCOME BACK TO YOUR ALMA MATER, DODA!
