For anyone wondering about the January class get-together, David Moody said it has been decided to skip these until March - so no January or February brunches. Hopefully weather and covid conditions will have improved by then.

Our classmate Brent Schultz has been moved to the Briar Hill Nursing & Rehab Center in Middlefield, where he said he is making better progress thanks to the rehab treatment there. He asked that I pass along his greetings to his other classmates and friends and thank them for all their prayers and other support. He also said that although his current condition will not permit his attendance, he hopes our monthly class get-togethers are able to resume soon. Keep the faith, Brent, and get well soon.
