MESSAGE FROM JEAN

Hi!

It's so great to hear from you! We're doing good, nothing terribly exciting to report from here, we're just enjoying the summer! Congrats on your upcoming wedding. That's awesome! Are you getting married over Thanksgiving? I know we are planning a visit in the next few months, just not sure yet when that will be. I would love to have a celebration toast with you and Dan. I'll let you know when we will be in town.

I did talk with Lisa Toner this week, she always has exciting things going on in her household! I get online occasionally and read the Anamosa paper and I check out the class website, it's fun to catch up with the local happenings!

I am looking forward to the DNC being in town next week, lots going on around the city! I'll be sure to report any celebrity sightings!

Thanks for checking in! Congrats and let's stay in touch!

Hey, Carron,

So sorry for the slow response to your emails. I've been checking in on the website and enjoying the pictures and updates. Congrats to you and Tony! Also, very impressive on that 157 score! You gotta love bragging rights!

It really has been a dreadful winter here. I've never seen so much snow. We usually golf here in December and January, now I just keep the shovel by the front door so I don't have to make the trip to the garage so often.

We did sneak away to Cancun in December. Ahhh, that was nice! It's all I've got right now getting me through these days!

This is where I apologize, we were in Anamosa over Thanksgiving. I know,
I'm sorry for the no phone call and no visit. It was a last minute trip and we
were gone before the mini reunion on Saturday. The weather was wonderful
and we did enjoy visiting the family. Next time.......

Hope all is well, feel free to call anytime. I also attached a recent picture of me and Argyle in his wheelchair. As you know, he recently passed but he lived to be 15 and he loved that wheelchair, it gave him mobility when he could no longer walk. So I would highly recommend them to anyone with an ailing old dog.

Take care!

Jean (Reiter)

OK, the greatest thing that could have happened to me tonight happened to me tonight. I am sitting here all by myself, just vegging out with no kids and my phone rings. It is.......

JEAN REITER!!

I am so thrilled!! She is doing well and she is just the sweet, wonderful Jean that I remember. We laughed and talked and laughed some more. She wants me to tell you all "hi" and that she hopes to be home in the next couple months. You can e-mail her at: joliphant@nostalgichomes.com

(Jean would rather go celebrate her anniversary with her husband - in Breckenridge, Colorado - than party with us.....what's up with that??)

Hi, Carron,

I am headed to Breckenridge in a couple of minutes, it's our anniversary so we're staying there for the weekend. Tell everyone hi for me, hopefully I'll get to see you soon.

Thanks!

Jean

Hi, Carron!

Thanks for posting the pictures, I was looking at them yesterday at work, this is such a fun distraction! (I did show my coworkers my kindergarten picture and they were able to pick me out, must have been the fancy hairdo!) You're looking good all trim and tan! Your kids are so cute, how is it having teenagers? (I think your son is totally not interested in your need for pictures!) It looks like many people have young families which is really great. We are getting updated photos so I'll send them when available. Thanks again for your efforts on the website.

Oh, my gosh!! Is that you in the middle???? I would never have guessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look fabulous!!!

I went into the blogsite and changed your web address. Sorry for the mistake!!! I will forward on your e-mail and your e-mail address for all the classmates to have! I have also added you to my database, so you will get all the forwards from classmates!! I am just having a ball with this! I was so excited when Lisa called me last week and filled me in on you. :-) Please stay in touch!! It is so good to hear from you!

Carron

Thank you so much for saying that, you made my day!

This is fun getting to see pictures of everyone. You need to post a picture of you and your kids. I'll be looking forward to new postings and emails.

Thanks, Carron!

(Here's an e-mail from Jean Reiter. Check out her website and see how fabulous she looks! Jean's e-mail address is joliphant@nostalgichomes.com.)

Carron,

Thank you for the note, it's so nice to hear from
you. I am bad at keeping in touch with those that
aren't in my daily life, thank goodness for
Lisa Toner who calls and keeps me connected.

You are awesome for starting this website, it is
really fun to see pictures of old classmates
(old isn't the best word here but you know what
I mean).

This is my actual website address
that has my picture and email address.
www.denversbesthouses.com

Sorry the Hawkeyes lost last night but things
could be worse, you could be watching Jake
Plummer every week!

I hope all is well, take care,

Jean Reiter
