Jane -- Thanks for your post. While I might not have remembered your name, I most definitely remember your face. So I guess that means I get partial class credit (lol). I was honored to rep West High in France -- I still can't believe my family let me go away for one whole year -- and the rule back then was that you could not call home or be called, you could only write letters. So I had many homesick moments, too. Glad to hear you made it to Europe/France yourself. That must have been thrilling! Sorry we will be attneding the reunion on opposite nights but have a lot of fun! Appreciatively, Helena
