Class of 55 Planning Committee...

A bit of News...
For awhile, the Class Committee lost track of Winifred Sandberg Woudstra...it was rather like she disappeared from our Class of 55 records and communications stopped.  Well, we have news for you!  Winnie has indeed been found!  Between two e-mail changes and much travel, Winnie finally responded to our efforts by trying a newly found e-mail address.  Yes folks, Winnie is "Alive and well"...and for sure, she is still in the Netherlands. 

When we contacted Winnie, she informed us that she has been busy traveling and enjoying her family there in the Netherlands...and she is keeping active with her involvement in community affairs and hobbies.  Winnie is planning a trip to Japan with a group and will not be available to attend the big 60th year reunion on August 1st.  However, she assured us that she will be sending in a Bio to be printed in the Class Booklet that will be distributed at the 60th reunion.

Winnie promised to do some follow-up with the Reunion Committee and said she will respond to our letters, cards and e-mail and regular letters.  She said she was not aware that we had lost contact with her.  And, yes indeed, it is wonderful to now be in contact with Winnie...

Winnie sends her best wishes to the Class and says that she will miss being together at the 60th reunion.

Thanks for the contact Winnie...we are looking forward to your Bio to be printed in the class booklet.
