Dear Greeleyites,

I've been getting questions as to whether this reunion is just for women or for anyone in or married to our class. Here's the answer:

Everyone is invited for the big dinner in Portland on Saturday, the local sightseeing, the wine tasting, but the one night at the little lodge is just for women. If guys want to come up to Mount Hood, and it's beautiful so you should, you can get a room in the regular Timberline Lodge for that one night. We girls get kicked out of the upper lodge by 10:30 or 11 am and anyone who wants to take a walk or a hike can do it on the way back to Portland.

So call all your Northwest friends and relatives, and organize yourself for September 10-12, 2011. Just 20 months to go. By then we'll all be flying with nothing but our watches.

Love, Penelope

Thank you, Penelope. That sounds like a PLAN! I'm pretty sure the guys could find a way to have fun at their own "Men's night out"!

I look forward to visiting Oregon and the famous Mount Hood!

Hi, classmates,

This is just an update on our September reunion in Oregon for 2011. I've paid the fee to reserve the lodge on Mount Hood, so I hope some of you are still planning to come out and visit here. I've been debating between a wine tour and a volcano tour to Mount Saint Helen's, but maybe we can do everything.

This spring I've been busy with visits to my son in Northampton, Massachusetts and attending my daughter's wedding in Pasadena, California (she does dog rescue, and there were three little dogs in the wedding party--a white maltese in a black necktie was the ring-bearer plus two other little dogs accompanied the human flower girl --who was needed for her opposable thumb), hosting east coast poets here in Portland, and getting my next book ready. I wish you all a good summer and look forward to seeing some of you a year from September. Love, Penelope (a.k.a. Penny, Grandma Pen, etc.)
