Things I Would Like My Classmates to Know:  Lancaster was a great place to grow up and the friendships are forever. I don’t have a chance to see a lot of you but, almost every time I talk with Vanny or Herman we still talk about how lucky we were to grow up in Lancaster. Special time and special place. I’ve been blessed all my life.

Also, Mary Catherine and I live on Daufuskie Island ( think  Pat Conroy and The Water is Wide ) and  all of you have a standing invitation to visit. Please come see us!
