Re: Happy 2004

[Guest guest]

Hello Sharon,

My best wishes to you too in this new year. I've so appreciated your

warmth, sense of humour, kindness and intelligence this past year. In fact

this is so true to all of you wonderful grads.

I spent new years eve at my Dad's house, nestled high up on a mountain,

looking down on the city. It was truly a time of reflection as I sipped my

hot chocolate and watched the fireworks in the town below. I can feel it

down to my bones, this is a year of change that's coming up and I'm actually

excited.

My love and gratitude to you all,

Joanie

Happy 2004
