Goals for the future:

Attending Oasis Camel Dairy in May. Thinking of buying a camel or two and bringing them back to Hawaii. Dr. Oz says camel milk is very nutritious.
Will go back to Africa this time Rawanda to hike up to the mountain Gorilla's. Update- I did all that but didn't bring the camels to Hawaii, too rocky for them.

My brother Dan Crowley told me that he got a letter says we will have a 55 th reunion at the PI tavern and a picnic the next day. If thats true Ill come up from Florida to see you all. Hugs Gail

School Story:

Yes but it's not funny. One time in the spring on my graduation year 1967 my friend Jeannie Bendowsky and I skipped school and went kite flying in Manito park. My brother Dan Crowley saw me and turned me in. I could not get Dan Kirby my DECA teacher to sign my pink slip and I had to go to school at Continuation High. Not many if any remember that. I got to go to my Sr. Prom but had to granduate with that other school. I finally forgave my brother. After my husbasnd of 25 years passed away I moved to Californium for a couple years and now live in beautiful Floriday.
