Christine Wilson Frey (’65): Thank you for helping me stay connected. I am too far away to make any event there, but am glad to hear of my classmates.  FYI – I am now doing Living History at our Bend, OR, High Desert Museum as an 1885 school teacher. We have two children and two grandchildren and love this area. Our skiing at Mt. Bachelor is terrific, but we have all the other outdoor sports, as well as great medical facilities, and wonderful weather. We also are close to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show!
