Kim, I am so sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner.....Of course, I remember you....and how dear of you all to inquire about mom. That picture is a hoot!! Here's a bit of an update:

Mom celebrated her 88th birthday last November. Until her 87th year, she was really doing quite well, though on a walker --living independently in her own condo, cooking for herself and tending the plants she so loves on her patio, writing shut ins in her church, having friends pick her up Sundays to attend the church she has been a member of for 60 years. 2010 brought a series of medical challenges and hospitalizations, and when it became clear mom was no longer safe living on her own, she moved into a lovely assisted living facility right across the street from her church (Parson's House--on Northwest HWay and Midway). Mom has had, among other conditions, progressive osteoarthritis and is now in a wheel chair, but she wheels herself through the corridors and, with some assistance from the very caring attendants, is doing well. She is still dedicated to doing her crossword puzzle every day--and we have recently discovered that she is quite a competitive domino player!

I have attached a pretty current picture at a celebratory dinner for you.

Hope you all have a great reunion. Hope to see some of you on campus. Dr. S

The Boarder '86 Party House -- Knost Chateau in North Dallas (link)

We have arranged to rent a house for the week-end of our reunion (4/29 - 4/30), and trying to see who might be interested, which would drive cost of this house. Farrah and I found a neat house north of Dallas that is quite large and has 6 bedrooms / 7 baths, 12,000 sq ft. That could be fun times for a group. This was started as a boarder hub, but not limited to boarders, if you know others who are traveling for the reunion,wanting to share this house. So far, Farrah, Claudia, Noell, Kim, Julia KovisarsAre confirmed. The total price per night is $1300, and we are hoping to fill the house with around10 people, making the cost around $130 plus tax per person.

The Knost Chateau is an exquisite 12,000 sq. ft haven, providing a unique venue for hosting small corporate events, getaways, receptions, holiday parties, luncheons, meetings, retreats, dinners, private parties and birthdays.

Booked event will include a Luxurious Home packed with Food and Drinks!

The Chateau's central location is just 25 minutes north of Dallas and 20 minutes east of DFW International Airport. We provide an exclusive environment for our patrons, 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, 7 walk-in showers, 3 oversized Jacuzzi-jetted tubs, 7 fireplaces, an elevator, multitude of bars as well as a wide range of accommodations.

Our Music Room features a comfortable environment where guests can relax beside our classic 1920s Grand Piano, previously owned by Jean Harlow. Our Media Room and Game Room offer an opportunity to kick back with a 110" projection screen, LED TVs, a unique bar, and a hand carved pool table previously owned by Mike Modano.
