[Magdalen] 65th Anniversary of the Class of 1950

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Allan, what an amazing situation - it is wonderful to hear how every little 
piece seemed to fall into place to make it 'work'.  May Camille and her 
daughter have a wonderful time together and at this special gathering.
peace
Lynn

> A while ago, Camille received a letter headed Saint Mary's Dominican High

> Dearie do you remember when we came to Dominican. We were a bunch of Green
> Freshmen. Well that was 65 years ago and we are still here and anxious to
> get together and celebrate."

> After going through the details of the reunion, it ended

> see you again and reminisce."

> "Sincerely yours,"

> I loved this letter and Camille remembered the person who wrote the email
> and liked the idea of going. At first I worried about the expense of a 
> trip
> from L.A. to New Orleans and that Camille would remember none of it, but
> anyway decided she would have a wonderful time with the other 80+ year
> olds. I thought it would be too much for the two of us and invited any one
> of Camille's three daughters to accompany Camille on the trip. Camille's
> middle daughter who is in her late forties volunteered first and will go. 
> I
> spoke with the letter writer and advised her of Camille's condition and
> that her daughter would be coming along.
>
> When another of her classmates heard about the trip, she volunteered an
> empty small house that has a bedroom on top and a bedroom on the first
> floor plus the bathroom and, I suppose, a kitchen and living room, and
> then, even the use of her car.  I thought the offer was wonderful and now
> really knew that Camille and daughter will be in good hands.
>
> The reunion is the weekend of the 24th and 25th of April. Tickets are
> bought and she'll fly there on April 23rd and back the 26th.
