mn trip #2 - class reunion

unfortunately i wasn't able to make it to my 10 year class reunion. we were able to go up the night before to meet up some classmates. i think out of 30, i saw 11. so not too bad. my goal was to take a pic with each said classmate, but i got a bit distracted. thanks to tim, he did snap one of me and cheryl (due in oct). it was a lot of fun reconnecting with those who did make it out. :)
