20th Monthly Zoom Meeting Snowed Out!
My apologies to you all! It snowed here over night. Not a lot but enough to shovel. I did my driveway, deck and sidewalk as well as two neighbors sidewalks. Apparently I took a well deserved rest instead of hosting our 20th meeting, which would have been our 1st meeting of the new year! Sorry....

1st Co63 Meeting in the Zoom Lounge!
Five classmates meet in the ZOOM lounge for about an hour and a half. Among our reminiscing was a discussion of the old swimming pool on National St at Yale Av. We tried to remember when the pool was built and shared a Google Earth view of the Turtle Splash Water Park that replaced it. While we were at Reed-Keppler Park, we zoomed into the new baseball complex and recreational center where many of us used to play ball. A lot changed in this part of town since we graduated. Hope to see more of you next month.

To celebrate our 57th year since we all gathered in the Bishop gym to receive our diplomas, a few of us meet on Zoom for about an hour and a half.

As you can see from the slideshow above, we all enjoyed the afternoon.
We agreed to do this again in the near future so check back here regularly for details.
