Correspondent: Mistie P. Lucht hohudson@yahoo.com Hello! Even with our reunion in June, I did not receive any class updates for this issue. I was unable to attend Reunion myself due to conflicts during the weekend (and I was really disappointed—I hope you all had a great time!). My family and I took the plunge in May and moved to the suburbs of Chicago. I am the only one having major city withdrawal; my three girls love having a big backyard, and my oldest two love riding bikes everywhere with new friends. Nathan, my husband, is very happy with the easy Metra commute, a great improvement over the crowded, slow city buses. • Have a wonderful summer and I hope to hear from you all soon! Remember: You have until the end of the summer to get me your updates for the Fall issue. I include your notes in the order in which I receive them, and although I have a word limit for each column, I accommodate everyone fairly and in a timely manner. Please write and let me know what’s going on in your life! Thank you!
