Thank you. Your help is appreciated to assist with the MSO's costs and efforts to keep us connected! Thank you for your consideration.

OMG - I obviously now know why I was told I had to be in Maryland the weekend of April 28th and to the Champions Billiards in Frederick. I wish to quickly say THANK YOU to all who participated with this surprise multi-class party in celebration of the Peary MSO 10-year anniversary (August 2006) and to all the class coordinators who sent the details of the party out to their respective classmates. I am surprised none of you spilled the beans to me about this! I will post some photos of the event and the wonderful plaque received. Thank you for your gifts. I maintain the MSO only so that there is a "place" for alumni and old friends to stay in touch. I was deeply touched and "uncomfortably honored" by this party, and am grateful for the surprise. I'm still flabbergasted at what went into planning this (apparently since last fall), by Sandy Swarr Crawford (1974). Thank you, Sandy. Now that I'm back home to Nevada... I believe I have some major catching-up to get to on MSO! With deep appreciation for this kind honor and gesture,
