Thank You.................from Rose

Thank you to each and everyone of you that sent me birthday greetings with lovely cards, gifts and Ecards and emails and telephone calls expressing your birthday wishes for me!

When I look back on my years living in Revere and going to school with all of you.......gosh, they were some of the best of my life.  I'm blessed with your friendship.

I can't tell you how happy I am that all of you enjoy The Lantern so much and that many of you have re-acquainted yourselves again after so many years.  The mini reunions have become a great hit and we will continue to have them. 

Sal, you started something big when you and your wife envited to take me to lunch on one of my trips to Boston, then Diane made a phone call, and others sent an email and these mini reunions began.  Previously one year, Diane got all the girls together at her house.........wow......that was amazing to see everyone again.  It was very gracious of her.  Her hospitality in her lovely home was immeasurable!  View the photo album I created on one of the earlier entries on The Lantern.

Diane, you and John Henry had a fabulous idea to create an online site for our class.  When you asked me to make something special for our class, I didn't know what the heck I was doing at first when I created The Lantern and then it became so much fun when all of you started to participate and joined in with your comments and sending me stories and photos and never letting go of our "Forever Friends".  We are a great bunch.......that's for sure.  I spend many hours on The Lantern and I love doing it for all of you.  I get a kick out of creating the graphics to try and go along with the Great Shares and the Side Bar to the Lantern.

Hope we all continue our mutually adoring friendship for many more years to come

...2-4-6-8 and all that.  Thanks for giving me something to cheer about!
