If we each keep a subject then it is easier for everyone to read until people get use to the comment area...this is in comments but I am copying it here for everyone to see. Dennis also has a photo album that he might share the url to so you can catch up on pictures! Thanks Dennis for posting!
Hi Janie.. I have had a google gmail account so this was fairly easy.. I am living in San Diego, retired from the Navy in 2000 as a Limited Duty Officer (LDO), still working for xerox (30) years. Have been a xerox trainer since 86. The best Job in Xerox... Married 35 years, two sons 30 and 27. Youngest is a Marine, oldest pitched professionally for 8 years and will be going into Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in June. Looking forward to going back to farm early June 2007, working the cattle and enjoying the early summer as well as friends and family.

WELCOME!
This is an attempt to try keep us somewhat in touch with one another even though time and miles have kept us apart! I believe if you will email me I can make it easier by inviting you with your emails but those of you who are computer savy should be able to navigate this pretty good. I hope you will post pictures and give updates on where you are and what you are doing. Anyone can begin a post and you can use the comment button to add to someone else's post.
I live in northern Minnesota and have since I graduated from college. I am a working artist and have a husband, Andy and 2 children, Suzy who owns an ecological clothing store called UNFURL in Manzanita, Oregon and a construction manager, Luke who is in Sioux Falls, S Dak but hopes to move back here in the spring. Unmarried as yet but has a girlfriend of 3 years and it appears to be pretty serious! So that is me...hoping to hear from all of you and please keep passing the site on to others from Alamo so everyone can check in! Anxious to hear from everyone! Janie [Hagen] Freeman
