Get Together With Some Class of '55 Classmates and Friends

 

 

 

On Saturday, July 25th, Mary Lou Hoffer Beggan from Wilmette, IL, was in town to visit her family, and some of us from the Class of  '55 got together with Mary Lou, her daughter Ann, and Jane her niece, as well as other friends. We met at The Golden Spoon for a delightful brunch and stimulating conversation.  Fortunately, the weather turned out to be beautiful for our day.
