Gruppman Class Reunion

Last night we had a blast visiting with dear friends, some of whom I haven't seen in over 10 years. We met for a reunion of the Gruppman violin class at BYU...and associated cellists. It seems so strange to think there has been so much water under the bridge since these people were my family and my life. Now we have our own families and the number of children on the RSVP list was 36! Igor and Vesna were not able to make it this year but we hope to catch them next time we have a gathering like this. We missed you!!!
L-R: Sterling, Amanda, Ingrid, Emily, Ellen, Sugar, Ramona, Tess, Heidi

Sadly, it did not occur to us to take a group photo until after several people had already left. But the good news is that they are all pictured below.

Weston manned the grill.....in a manly sort of way.

Handsome guys. They bonded. KC was off at the playground when we took this. Sorry, man.

I love this photo, too. Oaks, Roberts, and Ricks babies so interested in each other.

Ingrid and Julianna

Mike, you've got something on your head. It looks like a cookie.

Oaks and Bezzant Sweethearts

Ah, Sugar. It's a good thing you came. It wouldn't have been a party without you.

Love to you all! Thanks for the memories. Let's not wait another 10 years.
