Greetings from San Diego


The emailbag included this note from a contender of the coveted reunion prize for traveling the farthest (or is it furthest?):
I have enjoyed reading the blog of our reunion.
I am looking forward to being there. This will be the first one that I will have attended since graduation. I live in San Diego now and teach chemistry in high school. Willie was my role model.

Rose will certainly be surprised at how many similarities Schuylkill County has to San Diego County (for instance both counties begin with the letter 'S'; San Diego has Sea Worldwhile Schuylkill County has Adelphia Fish Store, parts of San Diego had a recent earthquake while parts of Schuylkill County look as if they also had a earthquake, etc.)
It is interesting - as well as encouraging - to find out how many "first timers" have indicated their intention to attend this 40th reunion.
By the way, other classmates living in California include Jim Franklin and Dianne Wawrzaszek.
St. Diego a/k/a Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin) was the first indigenous American saint, canonized in 2002. We are grateful that the city was not named San Cuauhtlatoztzin.
