Classmates and Their Stories

It has been our pleasure in the past year to post news, photos, and updates from members of the Gardner High School Class of 1960 on the reunion web log. As we enter into another holiday season, we hope even more classmates will send us recent photos and share stories or greetings . Here is a quick summary of themes that have emerged from the postings so far:

65+ and still learning new skills or gaining new knowledge (playing piano, speaking French, etc.)
65+ and keeping fit by walking, bicycling, dancing, etc.
65+ and traveling to visit friends and family or resort destinations
65+ and still employed, part or full time (fully 25% of our class)
65+ and retired, but busier than ever, and wondering where the time goes
65+ and giving back to community by volunteering or providing service
65+ and assuming care-giver roles for family members who are older or younger
65+ and receiving awards, honors, or recognition of individual achievements
65+ and establishing daily or weekly "comfort" routines that provide stability, predictability and reliability (reading, group luncheons, theater, movies, dinners, etc.)

Got news? Please send photo amd message to ghsclassof1960@gmail.com
