Reuning

Yesterday was the start of the annual Northland College (http://www.northland.edu/Northland/) reunion. This year it is an all class reunion, celebrating Northland's 100th birthday. After Tommy and I worked on wall preparation in the kitchen for the mural all morning, Carey picked me up and we went on the scheduled boat tour of the Apostle Islands (http://www.apostleisland.com/) and then met Terry, Kaye, Charles and Mom at the Old Rittenhouse Inn (http://www.rittenhouseinn.com/) for dinner. Then Carey and I wandered over to the President's Reception at Mt. Ashwabay for an hour or so before meeting them again for the Chatauqua performance (http://www.bigtop.org/), featuring Northland alumnae, including the regionally well known people from my classes, Charley Maguire and Pop Wagner, as well as the Voyageurs. Today we have the picnic, the memorial service for Peg Jackson, the alumnae awards banquet and social hour at the Boar's Head. It's interesting, to say the least, seeing some people for the first time in 35 years and meeting other alumnae for the first time. Things change, but some things stay the same.
