Ronald Rome Found !

...a November 6, 2006 email from Allan Johnson:

Hi Jack,

I just checked out the updated "Missings" on the newly updated web site. I found Ronald Rome in September
after the Journal went to print but failed to notify anyone because he didn't respond to my letter inviting him to the reunion.
Excuses, excuses, excuses!

Fr. Ronald Rome
PO Box 633
Dunlap, CA 93621

He's a retired Greek orthodox priest, married with five children (one deceased) serving as a chaplain to
a convent for retired nuns. I found his picture on the internet and sent it to him. He didn't deny that it was him.

...an 8/10/04 email message from Ruth Williams Bradt (posted 8/14):

Hello fellow classmates,

This Friday - yep, Friday the 13th - I will have my 65th birthday officially making me a Senior Citizen!

I have always been under the impression that I was the youngest member ofour class - please let me know if this is so.

I went to kindergarten one month after my 5th birthday and then skipped the 5th grade at Woodbury Grade School
on Jericho Turnpike (3 grades in each room - 75 total enrollment from Kindergarten to 8th grade) I started Toaz
with Frank Lusardi but I don't know what became of him-- he didn't graduate with us.
Lane Thompson and Bill Costanza also went to the same grade school.

It isn't that I look any younger than many of you - my 40 extra pounds go a long way in preventing that,
but my dark brown hair is still its natural color, just a few gray hairs here and there-- purely genetic.

I look forward to seeing you all again at the reunion

Regards,
Ruth Williams Bradt

On Saturday, 12 June, in Berkeley, California, Susan Cahn Parker, Anton Lignell,
and I (Elaine Staber Steward) met for much chat, coffee, and eventually, lunch.

a mini or two without me! Can you imagine....?
