I took my family, husband,two children and spouses, and three granddaughters to Disney World for a week and then to the beach at Siesta Key, Florida. In October, my husband turned sixty also, and we celebrated his birthday with a cruise to Bermuda. I am now working part-time, job sharing a teaching position in English at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic School. I am writing a children’s book (Victoria Taylor would be proud) and have started editing books for self-publishing authors in Western Kentucky. Our first grandson was born last week. I do water aerobics and am in a book club. My husband is the manager of the municipal electric service for our town and is on several state and national boards for regulation of public power. Life is wonderful – and I am grateful to be sixty, especially when I consider how many of our fellow students are no longer with us. Bob Courter - Well for me this year was nothing spectacular. I went to a local casino and they treated me special. I did not win a lot of money but got to celebrate with them bringing me a cake and having them sing Happy Birthday at the table I was playing on.
