It was nice chatting with you, especially about Quincy Elementary School and the neighborhood. Although I have been to Quincy innumerable times over the last 45 years, I have never been contacted about any reunions since the first two. So, thanks for the call. I will try to make it if at all possible.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Billy Bestgen wrote on 08-03-2010:</B> </div> <div> Thanks for all the work in putting together the website, committee, etc. I'm really looking forward to the event.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Martha Blair wrote on 07-31-2010:</B> </div> <div> 45 years is a heck of a long time!

I appreciate your efforts, it takes a lot of work I know. I have enjoyed scanning the directory to see who has responded and where folks are living now.
