See Nettie at Our Reunion!

Ann won't have to wait until July -- she is in town this week and will be visiting Nettie.

It will be so great to have each and every one of us at the reunion. Contact us today if you have any info for our friends on the "missing" list!

The Booze Joint

Hmmm... what to say... what to say about our little getaway?
We were drawn there on warm summer nights and on cold, snowy nights.
We'd swing by whenever we could, hoping a fun friend or someone we had a crush on would be there -- and that they brought the malt duck or the beer.
We laughed, we gabbed, we played music, we jumped the train (well, a few of us did...), we partied, we enjoyed hanging out together.
Good times.
Let's have more fun together at the reunion and share some memories.
Save the date - July 18th & 19th. Be sure to bring a fun friend and/or the crush that you married!
P.S. Tim T. will be there:)
