COLLEGE REUNION

In June of 2003, my college sorority sisters got together for our first reunion since we graduated from the University of Illinois in 1962. Jody and I were the chairman and with my computer knowledge I took charge of sending all the emails for the reunion. We had a fantastic time and this June we are meeting again for another reunion.

As we decided to plan an exact repeat of our last reunion, there was no planning necessary. So instead of needing chairwomen, I just volunteered to send out all the emails again. The emails included deciding on the date and signing up for each of the events – Friday night dinner, Sat. lunch and dinner, and Sun. morning brunch. I also asked everyone to send me a summary of their lives over the last 47 years so that I could compile them all and send an electronic newsletter of our mini “biographies.”

Over the last several months, my sorority sisters have time and again sent me their grateful thanks for “all” that I’m doing. But in reality, I don’t feel like I am doing much work at all. I first began using a computer in 1982 when I was hired as a computer trainer at a local computer store. And so working on a computer is not only easy for me but my hobby as well. In addition, with the ease of cut and paste, I have really not spent much time on this project at all. Furthermore, the time I do spend has been great fun. I love reconnecting with the women who played such a significant role in my life when I was a young college student and receiving all their emails.
