SATURDAY.........

REUNION DAY.....Class of 1971........40 years!  
No way.....we are NOT that old!

Of course, we had to get a picture as we entered the MEDICAL SCHOOL CAMPUS.

 And then as we entered the OFFICIAL REGISTRATION HALL.......

 With the ALUMNI STUDENT in front.....

Through all of the months of communicating back and forth with the Alumni Association Wayne had been communicating with NATALIE ALLGEIER......relative?  We don't know.  Some of the Allgaier's changed the spelling of their name to Allgeier in Germany.  We have sure had fun getting to know Natalie though.  We just had to have a picture with her.....

After a breakfast it was off to CLASS!!!!  Oh My......the classroom has certainly changed in 41 years.....look at all of those computers!  Not even thought of that many years ago.  It was 'HOW MANY BOOKS DO YOU NEED TO CARRY'?

I got to talking to one of the other doctor's wives.....Helen is her name.  Found out she and her husband live in Raleigh, N.C.  Say no more.....we call that 'kin' where we come from in Carolina!!  Instant friends we were.  Her husband graduated 50 YEARS ago......I was telling her about our 2 year mission in Finland.  She was quite intrigued because they had a friend who was from Finland.  Say no more about that either....instant friends!  Well, as we were sitting in 'class' and waiting for the lecture to begin (YES, I said LECTURE!) I looked at my cell phone and had a FACEBOOK message from one of our Finnish friends....written in Finnish.  I am showing her here was the language looks like.  Fun little conversation!!

As a part of our lunch break we decided we want a little 'TOUR' of the NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL.....Wayne had gone when the school was on 'H' Street......this was ALL NEW and IMPROVED!  Layla is a 3rd year student who gave us that tour.  What a sweetheart she is!  We were very, very impressed with her.  Very sharp and very on the ball.  She will make a great doctor soon!

Wayne was 'remembering' the good old days with one of his classmates......Ken Moritsugu.  As it turns out we found out he was the SURGEON GENERAL for the United States until about 4 years ago when he retired.  Very impressive title I would think.  

What a fantastic day it has been.  We are so glad we took time out of our busy schedules to do this.  We could not have been happier with how everything turned out.  And when we finished the day we headed back up to Frederick to attend the Adult Session of General Conference.  And that was a fantastic meeting too.  We are just truly blessed......!!!
