We have a nutty dog named Brady, a Jack Russell mix who keeps us very busy! I work at Monadnock Community Bank in Peterborough. It has been great over the years to read up on classmates.

From Michelle Ayer: "Ladies and gentleman, the time is upon us to celebrate our 20th reunion. I can't decide which is more mind boggling - that we actually graduated or that we graduated 20 years ago! So, since we can't stop the hands of time, let's celebrate the times we've had and get together for our 20th reunion next summer at Keene State!! If I tell two friends, and you tell two friends, and they tell two friends, well, you probably remember that commercial, too, so the real message is: call your old friends (I mean "old" as in "known for a long time," of course), call your former dorm mates, call your fraternity brothers and sorority sisters, call that ex-boyfriend or girlfriend, and let's reconnect for our 20th reunion and show those youngsters from the class of 2001 that we can still party like it's 1987! (Don't worry, I'll bring plenty of extra-strength Tylenol.) I already know quite a few familiar names that plan to be there. If you want to know who they are, you'll have to e-mail me! Can't wait to see everyone."

VPIC is a nonprofit advocacy group helping to empower families who have children with special needs. My husband, Bob, and I have just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary and reside in Winooski, Vt., with our sons Toliver, 16, Matthew, 14, and Tucker, 10."
