First group contributed by Joan Higham:

On Feb. 17th, several of the classmates of the Class of '57,
were in Florida, and we got together, for a little fun.
This group included:
Several met at Joan's house, and we were all transported to a restaurant ( Spinners ) located on St. Pete. Beach.
We ate lunch, at the top of the hotel, which rotated a complete circle about every hour and a half, which allowed us to see a beautiful view of St. Pete. Beach.
Phyl and Ron were at the table waiting for our arrival, since we were running late.
After lunch, a group of us were transported back to Joan's house, and we had dessert, which included a "Class of '57" cake.
Ron and Phyl drove from the restaurant, met us at our house, and joined us for dessert.
From there, we said our "Good-Byes", and "Until we meet again", which we hope will be soon at our 54th reunion, in Weedsport, in June.
