Virtual Reunions





What if, I was thinking this morning, we communicated more often? And what if we did it in a way that allowed us to share more than the occasional joint email? And what if it involved more than the biannual reunion?

So here's a possibility: a family blog.

We can post comments on the weather in Hong Kong or Arizona or Colorado or Idaho or Florida or Woodland Hills and Utah Valley this morning:










We can share stories and plan future events.



We can link to other sites that might be of interest -- Tom's jazz site, for instance: http://www.bigbangbigband.com/live/

Or Jeff's home page:

We could post surprising and little-known facts like this:

OPERATION GRADUATION REQUEST – Carol Gilstrap asked the board for funds to help support the annual alcohol free party after graduation. She stated that the Operation Graduation started as a pilot program in Dolores years ago, and since that time, Dolores has had over a 90% participation rate. Operation Graduation for Dolores will be held at the Rec. Center again this year.
A motion was made by Ann Swope and seconded by Sandra Pyle to donate $250 to Operation Graduation. Votes: Phillips-aye; Pyle-aye; Swope-aye; Thayer-aye.

Don't vote nay. Contribute!
