From Patricia:

Looking foward to seeing my classmates again for the 45th. It seems like ages sence we went to South, and them split to go to North.

It was great to travel the world, and my experiences shared in the different countries in which I lived have proven useful in may different ways. India was great, and our culture difference is vast, but it taught me how to be more humble and grateful for the little things we take for granted. England and Ireland were wonderful, and walking the country side to go to town for fresh bread every day taught me how to use my legs once again as I did when I was a youth. The Netherlands were fantastic, and there I learned how to become a better gardener and how to grow fantastic tulips and organic vegitables. Ahhh, live is good.
