Was disappointed that there was not some sort of get to gather. Have been attending Roy's' reunions and they have a great time. They meet every year now and still have a great turnout and lots of fun. It was nice to see Kathy and Richard Berry while we were eating out when visiting this year. Roy retired from Georgia-Pacific and I worked there for 23 years before following Roy in retirement. We have two children, two grandchildren and a great grandchild on the way. Does that make you feel old or what!!?? Our son has lived in AZ for 19 years. The rest of our families still are in the Calais, Baileyville area.
