Karen (Kaleal) Gislason

Hello Jack, this is Karen (Kaleal) Gislason writing you. I had thrown my 
name in on that
website eons ago & have always watched with interest the names that would 
crop up.  To be
honest, not often do I visit there, but am so glad I decided to open you 
group email the
other day.  I was thrilled to see some very familiar names from the past, 
Joanne McLeod &
I still keep in touch regularly.  At any rate, felt since I had been so bold 
as to put my
name on the list of 61 (if you recall I had decided to pursue a banking 
career at that
time!) I best have the courtesy to advise you of my intentions for the 
reunion.  Albeit I
could not in all honesty consider myself part of the graduating class, I 
would dearly
loved to have come back "home" to Saskatoon & re-live some of those 
wonderful high school
days.  However, I will not be attending due to my husband's health.  We live 
on a lake
just outside of Brandon, Manitoba for six months of the year & in Texas for 
the other
six but we are now presently in Wpg., due to his diagnosis of Leukemia in 
early Feb.
We have been here in an apartment ever since & are still going through 
rounds of
aggressive chemotherapy.  Our life is in turmoil at the present to say the 
very least.
Anyway, all this being said, I am fully aware the festivities were probably 
intended for
LEGITMATE grads!!  But I do know the frustrations of trying to organize 
something of this
magnitude & you do need replies, ligitimate or otherwise.  I do hope you 
have a wonderful
reunion Jack, enjoy your memories.
Regards,
Karen
