Leading up to the luncheon we were encouraged by the number of folks who indicated they would join us. . Unfortunetly, several folks had to cancel so the attendance was less than we had expected. However, those present engaged in lively discussions about long ago memories as well as "what's new". We were especially blessed to say hello to Jackie via the video session on Tony's phone. As usual the meals were excellent and many got to take home a portion for another time.

You might refer our luncheon as being more intimate than it has been with the attendance being down. The phrase heard most often during the luncheon was "where's (name)". Many who have regularly attended were missing. It was agreed that we will continue to have our luncheons at Williams in the private room and we will make more intentional contacts with many of those classmates that were not present.
Other than our concern for those "missing" it was a good gathering with the usual excellent meals and warm fellowship.
