Good morning! I was just thinking, 50 years ago this day we were up anxiously awaiting the time we would walk to receive a piece of paper to say, "I did it."  HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to all graduates of BTW Class of 1965.  I am checking into the hotel this morning.  If you need answers call or text me.  I also have internet so you may email.   Be Blessed and I will see you soon.
