Peaches

For many months, I considered putting our sweet classmate, Laura "Peaches" Smith, on the missing list. Problem was, I was still finding a Michigan address and phone number to attempt. I sent postcards, I left voicemails...no response.

Last Saturday, I was in a loud bowling alley with my client's kids, trying to hear a new voicemail on my cellphone. Did I just hear her say she's Peaches? I was thrilled.

Peaches, at home in southern California, and knowing it was now 30 years since graduation, had done her own online search and found my reunion blog.

After several email exchanges, I can tell you that Peaches is still the gentle, sweet spirit she was in school, and Peaches would like to say hello to everyone.

A Son of Holly Visits Home

Recently, Bob Lowande flew to Michigan for a much needed vacation. Even a Floridian can appreciate the great white north. Do I recognize another class of 1980 alumni in this vacation photo?

This lovely old barn was in better shape in the day when the Lowandes and Curtises all rode the same school bus, trucking down Holly Road.
