I must thank my cousin Valerie (French-Rawlins) for inviting me to come along and share in your reunion! Even though I moved to Trenton in the eighth grade and didn't graduate from Carlson, there were many of you that I remembered.
To all those that I had a chance to catch up with - it was amazing! I believe that our years growing up in Rockwood were truly a moment in time that our communities today could learn from.
From talking about the blue "helping hands" in our neighbors windows to going "Uptown" to Laura's candy store, I enjoyed every moment.
But I think the absolute best moment for me this weekend was watching Alan Proudlock trying to roast a marshmallow for Lee Anne Meyers at the end of the night! Alan thanks for just being you!
To the committee: you did a wonderful job! I am grateful that I had this chance to see you all and look forward to seeing many of you again.
All the best to each of you!
