ESPECIALLY FROM GLORIA

I got a call from BILL BORELLIS at work the other day. The receptionist said 'It's Bill Borellis". I thought to myself, "what file is that?". He just called "coast to coast" to see how I was. Is that to die from or what???!!! I'm sorry I did not get a letter out in December -- no excuse really, just depressed. A lot happened last year to me personally and physically and some of it was more than I could handle. But now everything is fine and I know that my problems are trivial compared to YOUR problems, ha ha ... But they did shake me up. Also I had major surgery in January. Now that I have nothing left to donate to science but my skin I think I will be OK! Thanks for worrying about me - sometimes I think I'm all alone here and no one reads these things, then I get all your nice letters and cards and I feel like such a fool. So MAKE MY DAY - MAKE ME FEEL FOOLISH WRITE ME. Where are you, what are you doing -- everyone wants to know.



DONATIONS

Thank you for the donations since August from Harry & Penny Amon, Jon and Terri Goodfleisch, Kris Strand Meyer, Linda Tucker Prater, Phil Moseley and Monte Hartig. REMEMBER IF YOU CAN'T SEND MONEY, SEND NEWS.

Also thank you to KEN DEVERS for the Reunion Article - Perhaps in later newsletters I can share some of it with you.

PHIL MOSELEY and his wife NORAH moved to a new house in Alexandria, Va. They have a 7 year old daughter (Kendall) and a 2 year old son (Clay). Phil says he envies all of us who have older children because he is still stuck with diapers, babysitters, etc. Well, Phil wait til Kendall goes on her first date, and Clay's asking you for the keys to your car, you will wonder where the time went. Phil is still heading up Bill ARcher's (Republican/Texas) staff and staying involved in tax law and Norah is also on the committee staff.

JANET FRANCIS JEWETT has a flower shop now. She sold all the real estate and now she is landscaping it. Good going Janet.

JOE SCROGGINS our English teacher is in Dallas and he is no longer a teacher. He has changed careers and is working for Southwestern Bell Publications.

HARRY and PENNY AMON will have some good news in a few weeks. They are expecting a baby June 12th. After the Reunion they went to Europe on vacation, and saw London, Paris, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium and then the biggie, SAN FRANCISCO. Well we all knew this before - but vacations make babies. Hope all goes well.

In case you were not at the Reunion or did not read her letter at the Reunion, JILL WAGNER PORTER is alive and well in California, Beverly Hills to be exact. She is an actress, former stewardess and she has two children, a boy Kristopher who is 8 and a daughter, Geordana who is 4. She is married to Robie Porter who is a record producer/publisher/writer.

BETSY NORMAN KEHOE is in Tennessee and has two children, a girl, 2 and a son, 7. I don't know their names, but I'm sure when Betsy reads this she will write and tell me.

BILL BORELLIS and his wife NANCY live in California, in Canoga Park and have recently redone their home. Bill is in Insurance and may be visiting a city near you! They have two children, Jade, 5 and Rachel, 1. I hope I got that right.
