Julie Lowry 47 Campfield Rd. Manchester, CT 06040-5714 e-mail: Julie@lowry.net Class Agent: Sean A. Abbott By the time you read this, our reunion should be only a few short months away. I hope all of you are planning to attend. So far, the following reunion positions have been filled. JEFF BARRY is the chair of the Reunion Committee (he is looking for a co-chair), and the Reunion Gift Committee will be co-chaired by RANDY HANNAN, ALEXIS BRASHICH MORLEDGE, and JIM MURPHY. It is not too late to get involved. The more people involved, the better the likeli' hood for a good registration giveaway. In the meantime, to let you see how much time has passed, I want to share something I received via e-mail. You know you've been out of college too long when .... Your potted plants stay alive; you keep more food than beer in the fridge; 6 a.m. is when you get up, not when you go to sleep; you h~ar your favorite song on the elevator at work; you carry an umbrella; you watch the Weather Channel; clean jeans and a sweater no longer qualifY as "dressed up";
you don't know what time Campus Pizza closes any more; you feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds; sleeping on the couch is a no-no; you no longer take naps from noon to 6 p.m.; MTV is no longer your primary source of information; $4 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff"; you actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time; "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces ''I'm never going to drink that much , again.
