August 7th, 2012 Dinner out with Classmates of Nursing School

Sitting left to right is Candy, Ginny, Sue and Lois. Standing left to right is Carol, Karen, Susan, Marie, Kathy and Vicki. If I remember the numbers correctly we started with 72 students in our Freshman year of September 1971 and in June of 1974 we graduated 56. Two of our classmates have died since (we miss you Trudy and Debbie), all the more important for us to start getting together more. Dinner last night at Valentinis in Duluth was a very nice evening! Yea for the 1974 Class of St. Luke's School of Nursing!!!

DeWayne and Kelly Reed and sons~Chris, Scott and David.

Besides missing our crazy Uncle Ross for his humor, what I will miss the most is that he was a prayer warrior and he prayed for all of us in the family. What a gift he gave to us. We need to rise up and take his place and pray for each other. ~susan
