No news from Holly in the last year, but this is a picture of her and Dave Pratt at the reunion. As I recall, the topic of conversation at that moment was the uncanny resemblance between Dave and Holly's son... Benj and Carol are in the background.

Hi Bob,
I got a chance to look at the DVD the other day and particularly enjoyed seeing it with my 17 year old son, Grant. His perspective was fresh and sometimes surprising. Yes, I'll probably come back east for the reunion as Grant will be starting his freshman year at either Parsons or Pratt in the fall: I'm sure I'll be looking for any excuse to visit him.
My news for 2005 is a planned trip to New Zealand in Feb/March for three weeks and then on to Sydney for a few days. I'll be playing in the Pacifica Friendship Golf Tournament, a fun event between Aussies, Kiwis and Yanks.
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years and thanks again for doing the website. I'm only just realizing how great this new technology is.

Just after mailing out the Class news requests, I received a piece of spam with Holly's return address. I sent her a note as a "heads up"... Somewhere along its path, the email was noted by a spammer who wanted a sure fire way to get me to open a piece of mail.
Holly sent a quick reply mostly as a confirmation, but added "Re any news; my life plods along... Per your suggestion, I'll try to get my son to take a photo of us and pass it on to you. Take care."
I'll take any news I can get... At least we know that she is alive and as well as most of us!

I had a pleasant conversation with Holly last night, and she seemed to be enjoying where she is and what she is doing.
Years ago she was transferred with a promotion to the Denver area by American Express, but eventually decided that it was more important to be a stay- at- home- mom for her son who is now 15.
While she was at home, she started dabbling in real estate, and through the years she has been in and out of several properties. Presently she has an apartment building and an ongoing historical renovation in Denver.
She volunteered talk of a reunion, and said that she would make the trip east for a 40th. The motion is now on the floor... a second? discussion?
