Class of 1948

Grandma's high school class of 1948 had their reunion this past Friday. They had a little program and dinner at Golden Corral. Mom went with her. She had a blast and she mentioned that it was really great to see everyone. She said that they all decided to start holding their reunions every 2 years now. I said that's because their all turnin 80 years old and they have to keep in touch even more now!
