Class of 1956

Annually we have a Class of 1956 luncheon in Brecksville. (We wanted to have it in Independence but no restaurant met our needs.) There’s a small but faithful number that attend. One class member comes from California, another from South Carolina, and I come from Minnesota. The others that attend are primarily from Ohio. Every year there are more canes, walkers and hearing aids in use but we still have a good time reminiscing and catching up with current events in our lives!
