[Email to Sam Francis 9/9/18]
Hi Sam,
This email address was on a Penn Charter page; I hope it works. Just sorting through some magazines and there you were with Jim Arrison on a cruise in the Ionian Sea. It was the 2016 issue. Brought back lots of memories. Most of all, I hope you are well. Are you still living in NJ?
In 2004, I moved from Fairfax, VA (working in DC) to the SF Bay Area because both of my children, who were born while we where living in Fair Haven, NJ by the way, had come out here to work. Now my daughter, in SF, has three kids and my son, who got transferred to Toronto, has a little guy. My brother has been out here for decades.
We are now living in Portola Valley near Palo Alto. I have seen Susie and Jarry Bartz on trips to southern CA, and they are well as are their daughters.
We made a trip East about a year ago and visited Philadelphia including a stop at Penn Charter just to look around. I loved seeing how some things, like the Senior Stairs, are virtually unchanged.
Very best wishes and would love to hear from you.
Allan
