2017 FRAZIER HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

I was honored to have my son attend my 55th school reunion with me.  He was the best dressed man in the entire building. I felt like a million dollars to have my son there, taking a photo with him.  Also, other classmates wanted to take a photo with him as well. They all say he is a mighty fine young man.
I loved the hotel I stayed in as well, it was being remodeled but I can only imagine what a great place it will become.  I plan on checking back with them sometime in January and maybe return to visit.
The reunion was held in Baltimore and I met some new people while there. I am also happy that I took the advice of my son and just go and interact with other folks, as they didn’t seem to be very friendly, but Timothy said, but you just be yourself and they be themselves.  I did exactly that, went up and asked folks for their names, as I recognized only a hand full, and as we interacted we knew each other or at least someone in our families.  It was the best reunion I have ever attended.  It will be here next year.  I only hope I can attend.
I met a lady in the breakfast area of the hotel, we talked, laughed and agreed to meet the next day. I always bring up Jesus Christ and I noticed her piggy back on what I was saying but she never said anything about the Lord Jesus.  Yet, I enjoyed the exchange. We connected to each other as we shared about our children.  Next day she did return as planned, sent her husband down first, and then came with a friend.  I noticed how they were checking me out, which was okay with me because if I have nothing to hide, I hide nothing.
I talked to the folks she brought down, we enjoyed each other and as we were leaving, her guests left first as she continued to talk to me, and it was something how she covered her head that I asked if she was cold, or why was her head covered?  She said, I am covered because I am Muslim but I didn’t want you to know until I had connected with you. At that point I said, thank you for sharing and I enjoyed our conversation and I am so happy to meet you.  I learned so much from that encounter that I will put in practice for the future.
My reunion was held the end of September and riding on the bus back home, we had so much fun.  I received a phone call that my friend, DuBois, was in the hospital and I responded I was on my way back home and would be in touch. 
We arrived back home and I was able to drive home in the dark.  I was so grateful for that!!!
