I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR STATING ON OUR WEBSITE THAT THE DRISCOL'S WERE HERE FROM MARYLAND!!! In my busy-ness at the picnic a gentleman stopped me to talk and stated they were or had lived in Maryland. I thought it was Carol's husband I was speaking with. THEY DO, INDEED LIVE IN MONMOUTH!! I hope all will forgive my mistake.......especially the Driscoll's!!!

Please post this info: Thanks! Helen
Our annual picnic gathering was held on August 13, 2022, at the Henderson Fire Station community room We had 11 classmates in attendance with 3 guests (2 spouses and one son).
John Dress and Larry Miller attended for the first time. (If there were others I was not aware.) Larry Miller and his wife and Carol Driscoll and her husband all came from the state of Maryland! Sheryl Conard brought her son (she needs a driver now and he is it).
