We have known each other since 1989 and worked together for at least 11 years. This is the core group from McDonald Elementary where we followed an ambitious vision for our kids and teachers, laughed a lot everyday, and faced the many challenges of an at-risk school with impoverished students. This is "the Family". We get together at least once a year to re-ignite the fires of friendship and watch each other grow older. These parties used to be quite wild and I chuckle to myself as I witness the difference now. We meet, we eat, we talk, we reminisce. We love each other and maintain the connection of a group that has walked through tough times together. We are like a regular family but without the disfunction. Jill and Dennis hosted the group last weekend and it was fabulous. Cocoa was given permission to attend and was honored to be allowed to crash the party. We missed you Connie.
