Over the past few years, as we have happily come together through the wonders of technology, we have also been saddened by the news of the passing of many of our classmates, including the most recent two friends who left us this past week and the recent passing of the spouse of another. Collectively, we feel not just a deep sense of loss for those who have passed, but, as David Perugini shared in a message to me today, we are also "witnessing brutal evidence of our ephemerality." Yes, our own mortality and the realization that we are all here for a very brief time. I don't mean this to be a morbid thought, but, rather, a reminder that we should appreciate the time we have together. Since the most recent Class News emails went out I have heard from several people expressing their excitement about our 50th reunion. What a perfect opportunity it will be to reconnect with old friends and celebrate our lives as we joyfully grow older together.
David has shared some lovely thoughts regarding this topic on the IN MEMORIAM page under GENERAL COMMENTS. I hope you'll take the time read his moving message. Fran Antunovich Esposito and Linda Scott Salemi have also added heart-felt messages to the GENERAL COMMENTS section. Be sure to check out their messages as well.
