A Year Later

Well, family...

It's hard to believe it's already one year since we lost Dennis. Julie Drachman (Michael's wife, for those who aren't familiar) snail-mailed me a collection of photos from the graveside service and this seems to be an appropriate time to share. The photos once again make me feel deep gratitude for all those who showed their love by being a part of Dennis' memorial services.

Here is a link to the photo album on Google/Picasa:

I will also attempt to insert the slide show right here on the reunion website. I'm still not much of an HTML geek !

And some photos of Collin and his associates "teaching"their English students in China how to celebrate Christmas...
