[EDIT 5/3/02] All is now working :)
A few false starts, but our server is now fixed (I hope!)

Apologies to the authors of some lost comments. Squirrel mail is yet to be fixed.
Got Your McD Reunion Invite?
[T.G.] Wow this postcard is a “blast from the past”. Soosi has done a wonderful job on the whole Invitation package. I know how much work it can be to get everything to look just right.
[M.G.] Yesterday we received our official invitation for the 2002 McDonald Reunion and Auntie Teenies’s 80th Birthday Bash. What a nice package containing an agenda, map, postcard and RSVP. We are there! Everything is a go! Our Doc Morgan’s “garden suite” is booked Aug 13 til 20th. We have Tango Air tickets arriving the 13th and departing the 23rd. That will give us a few extra days to go over to Victoria and see Auntie Eunice and venture up the inland coast. It will be Tom, Laura and Martha going. Jackie has opted not to go and save her hard earned summer $$$ for college. Ian are you still going to bring your Karaoke machine? I can hardly wait!
[T.G.] Karaoke… Oh NO!!!!!!

Lucky Has Passed On…
Mom’s old cat “Lucky” passed on last night in her 21st yr. She hadn’t been her old self for the last 2 days. She slept more than usual, slow deep breathing, and the spark just wasn’t in her eyes. She appeared to be in no pain so we just kept her comfortable and let nature take her course.
