Sue Gorham Tegland checks in

This post from Sue Gorham arrived in the last mailbag.
She's living now in Bothell, Washington

Dear Trailboss,
I really want to come to the reunion. I was in Alex just after Christmas for a reunion with my brother Scotty, and had a neat time. But I am in grad school year-round, going for my MA in Psych, and I am pretty sure I will be in class on 8/6/05. If I live that long. I'm getting my arteries cleaned out soon; they need it. Just like the house needs cleaning. But I don't plan on kicking any buckets.
We have NO grandchildren and are still wrangling with teenagers, the fools we be. They are Tom, age 18, and Bob, age 17.
I could recognize Paul (Strandberg), Karen (Schjei), and Mark (Benson), in the blog photo, but no one else; what a trip it would be to stare in each others' faces after 40 years, and not having been to one previous reunion!! I did see Sara (Smith) about 5 years ago; she looked great. Have no idea if anyone would recognize me. The best I can say is I don't have much grey hair yet--it's still mostly brown.
The web site looks great. I’m feeling wistful and will try to envision a way I can get there for a period of time, Antioch (my school) willing.
