Last weekend we went down to Ft. Madison, Iowa, for Judy's high school reunion. I won't say how many, but if you look closely at the second photo you can figure it out...
Ft. Madison is a very nice small river town on the Mississippi, almost on the Missouri border. It has had a consistent set of employers, and the town is in very good shape. The old part of town is particularly nice, with many lovely old homes. One of them has been converted into a B&B, the Victorian Bed and Breakfast, and its photo is above. We had a suite, not just a room, and the biggest and best breakfasts we've ever had at a B&B, and that's going some!
Of course, the real function of a class reunion is to catch up with your high-school friends, and Judy saw many friends she hadn't seen in many years. Some of them had gotten old, but some (including us, of course!) hadn't. She had a great time and I was very glad to meet people who had been important to her growing up. (That's Judy in the front row, just about in the center of the photo.)
