Page has been traveling around the country on business and while visiting different cities she is hunting down fellow classmates to post on our Web site. While in San Diego she found Don Fithian, Drew Dougherty and John Steele. In Colorado Springs she caught up with Jon Snider and his brood. You can find their mug shots on the class Web site. Send your photos soon or Page may come and snap you off guard.

Will we see Joan Draper at the 25th? Joan is head of the medical staff at Danbury (Connecticut) Hospital, where she oversees a staff of more than 400 physicians and medical personnel Joan is the first woman to hold the position of president. Dr. Draper and husband Gary Townsend live in Brookfield, Connecticut, with their three daughters: Monica, 13, Victoria, 11, and Rebecca, 6.
