If I ever had to have open heart surgery, I would want LYNN to be the one  to hold my heart in her hands.

If I ever were lost, I would want JEAN by my side with a map and a smile.

Devotion to others can have no greater model than GEORGIA.

When I feel there’s a task I can’t accomplish, I think of ANNE & her 3rd try.

Can I blame age if I stop having adventures? Not if FRAN comes to mind!

When I hear about amazing research in far-away places, I think of MARY PAT in the Himalayas.

If I were desperate for sweets, I know that KAREN would gladly share.

CAROL epitomizes kindness, perserverance, & can-do attitude.

Who has more exciting stories about past adventures than JANE?

CHLOE-amazing courage & gumption as a child, perfected as an adult.

When the strength to face life’s changes fails me, I think of FRANCES.

And ,  I will NEVER be able to watch an inaugural parade without thinking of JANET.

Thank you all so much for 10 years of friendship & memories.

     You have brought so much fun & enjoyment to me.

         You really are now part of the fabric of the life of

              DONNA, the RELUCTANT cyclist from Lake Tahoe.

                     Here’s to another ten+!!!
