Ok – so all schools might not be out quite yet, but it is the season and some of my family and friends have kids that are graduating this year and deserve a little recognition! Congratulations go out to: my niece Danna Hoffman, St. Rita's Elementary; my niece & nephew Lily & Neil Connell-Behrens, Sebastopol Ind. Charter School; Courtney Zimmerman, La Salle High School; Ryan Gagnon, Bothell High School (Washington); Sara Motheral, UCSB; and Emily Brown, Biola University. Good luck and best wishes as you move on to the next phase of your lives.And in honor of my Alverno High School class of 1978 celebrating our 30th year, here's a photo of me and three of my classmates from whom I'm sure I will get plenty of flack for printing this! Deal with it gals! From left to right: CATHI (STEEVES) LOVETT, LINDA (YOUNG) ZIMMERMAN, SUE BEHRENS (me), and LORRIE (TURRIETTA) BROWN.
