I am sorry to say I cannot make this special occasion! I live in Myrtle Beach,South Carolina and it is just too far away.My name is Denise Gleason,now Denise Martin. I have lived in the South now for over 43 years. Too cold in Wisconsin for Me!!I am still in touch with a few girlfriends from Waukesha and they keep me informed of what is happening.I hope this event finds everyone Healthy and Happy!
Hi Denise, Dicky Sykes here. Long time no hear, I will be going to this reunion, although I went to Catholic Memorial. there’s a Peasant Hill get together, and since I went to Butler Middle School I know and remember many of the people in your class. I’d like to chat sometime. Hope all is well.
