Italy '95 Reunion
...twelve or so years later at a little restaurant in Naples (Long Beach, that is), we gathered.
The room was abuzz with excited chatter, and smiles beamed at the recognition of familiar faces. With every arrival there was a renewed burst of cheer! Warm greetings to classmates, roommates, travel companions, and friends... also included among us were an intrepid pair of husbands and a baby!

A whirl of conversations ensued, bridging the gap since we'd last been together. We talked about careers, marriages, babies, and so many of the other things that life brings. And of course, we talked about Florence, our time there, and those who were unable to join us that night.

In the meantime, let's make excuses to meet each other more often instead of waiting for them to bring us together!
Here are the some the gang that wanted to be there, but couldn't make it:
