06-22-2013 - Reunion, 600 miles from nowhere
Thought you might be amused by this chance encounter.
On a January 2013 cruise to the Galapagos Islands, my wife Karen and I struck up a conversation with the lady sitting next to us on the Zodiac that was ferrying us back from an island excursion. She was from Idaho, but mentioned growing up in the Midwest. After a "me, too", we began narrowing it down to Rockford, then Rockford West, then Class of '64. It was Claudia Ware Kennedy. We enjoyed meeting her husband Ron and sharing lots of high-school stories during the rest of the week-long cruise. We met Claudia and Ron again the day after the cruise, when we were all on the same flight to Peru.

The Auditorium at West will get a face lift in coming months thanks to a grant from the Lowes educational foundation. The gift of $50,000 will repaint the Auditorium, replace the existing stage curtain, and upgrade the sound system.
