34 Years Ago!!

 It has been 34 years since Annie and I left our beloved home on Cumberland Road and ventured off to a new life.  I'm now working as a temple ordinance worker in the Jordan River Temple.  One morning I notice a lady with red hair sitting up a couple rows ahead of me and realized it was Susan Kormylo from our old 8th ward!  I couldn't believe it.  Of course I went up and talked to her quickly before heading to our assignments.  When I got home I told Annie and she was very excited and wanted to get together so Susan arranged a luncheon at her home last Saturday and what fun we had.  We all decided that we needed to get together every six months and renew memories and all the amazing experiences we had so many years ago.

From left to right:  Gerry (her last name is lost for a senior moment), Diane Thompson, Wendy Taylor, me Susan Kormylo and Lynda Ann.

Diane had an amazing influence on Annie experience at camp and building her love for girls camp.  I remember serving with Diane and what a great camp director she was to all the girls in the ward.  Susan Kormylo and Lynda Ann have an amazing adoption connection that if you are interested, you could ask Lynda Ann to explain it to you.  

We had a fun filled and very talkative two hours before we all had to leave.  Already looking forward to another reunion in the summer months and hopefully with more of the girls Annie's age.  I have to say the the Valley View 8th Ward was an amazing ward and the neighborhood even more amazing.  I love Holiday and would move back there in a minute!
