FRIDAY
  INTRODUCTION | FRIDAY | SATURDAY | SUNDAY | CHATEAU PINEAU  
The Meet and Greet. My months of planning come to fruition as the first of us begin to dribble in. My heart had been in my mouth all the way from the Brandon turnoff. I'm a pretty emotional Otter. This is familiar territory...but it isn't. So much has changed. The first smiling faces float into view. Some I recognise. Others are so changed it isn't until they speak that I remember familiar voice tones. I was prepared for that so the embarassment isn't too bad. Some I have never met, but our time on line together and shared memories makes us feel like old friends. It is just the Beginning....

The "new" Sprucewoods Community Hall where it all began.
Jim Davis (our faithful military nut case/mascot)
and Joanne Ross (nee: Cheverie) in front.

Bev Woods (nee: Whitechurch), Robin Agardy,
Laura (Lori) Marsden, Joanne Ross and Cathy.

Luxurious and stunning accomodations. Our very
own MASH unit for the event, Sheila, Faith and Zoe.

Doug Jordan, Sheila and Faith.
What smiles to be greeted with!

Faith DiRenzio (Nee: Powers) and Jim Gradwell.
Careful Faith, it's not safe to stand too close to Jim.

Faith and Kelly.

The Hummel sisters Judy and Gloria. Still full of brightness and fun.

Joanne and Beverly. I recognized Bev in a
heartbeat and she was gone just as fast. Stay longer
next time Bev!

Well at least Judy looks relatively sober.
John and Mike Pineau, Judy Rioux (nee: Hummel)
and Betty Ann Roach.

Laura and Rasuna Marsden. Two very gifted writers.

Sociable!

Florence Nightengale had nothing on this modern Shilo MASH crew!

Faith with Vivian Sheppard. Tooooo cute!

Larry Conners (sans Mohawk haircut), Glen McLean and Zoe. Had it not been for Zoe's constant encouragement I likely would not have made it to the reunion. She's such a sweetheart!

Mike Pineau and Lynn Davis. Lynn only dates classy guys which explains why there are no pictures of her and Otter together. Word has it that she thinks I shed too much so I'm off trying to find some Crazy Glue.

Joe McCabe.
You have no idea how many lives you have touched or the memories we have because of your ranch.
May the Goddess bless you and hold you close to her heart.
