Patty Tracy and Bill Walton

Billy and I really enjoyed the reunion and appreciate all your efforts.

Funny you should mention Steve Tourigny, because when I arrivesd at the check-n at Harrington Auditorium, I was staring over the railing to teh gym floor when Rick Poole asled me what I was looking at. I said I was unexpectedly carried back to graduation and was envisioning Steve Tourigny in his cap and gown. He sat beside me at the graduation ceremony. Oddly enough, my partner walking in to the ceremony, who sat on the opposite side of the aisle, was Bill Wlaton, so he held my hand as we marched in. Didn't know then that he would be holding my hand walking down an aisle of a different sort two years later.

So you're off to the UK, eh? I am very sorry to hear that you are gong because someone is ill, but it is very important to be with our loved ones when these things happen. During reunion weekend, i found out that my brother, who still lives in Massachusetts, also is battling cancer, His prognosis is good but not guaranteed, and i have been back to se hime five times this summer. Being there is very important and I admire you for picking up and moving. Will this bring a job change for you or are you portable? I'm sure you will love England. From July 1978 until January 2003 I worked for the same firm and my job in teh last ten years involved about six trips or so a year to the UK and Europe, as well as to Asia. A much as I enjoyed my business trips, I always wished I could spend some time living there.

I'll see you in five years, Frank, and I agree we need more time to talk to more people at a reunion. I have told my friends from the class of 1979 to make their plans now, it is well worth the trip.
