    3. Thanks .... That's A Good one and not seen before nearly all the funnies and not so funny ones are so old hat now. ...... BUT... REUNIONS ..have been on my mind lately, Are we going to try and get one organized this year in the UK .. and perhaps some smaller ones elsewhere where there are little pockets of Trivvies where people can meet. I'd like to try and get back out West again this year; would love to do PEI .. but they don't seem to have buses routes that travel around the Island and it was PEI I fell in love with 60 odd years ago through the Anne books.

    3. Although the PEI got noticed all the Trivvies [especially the longer going Trivs] seem to have missed the the main part of my messgae. Last year was the first time we didn't have a proper get together in the UK since we started having them in 2000 in England. So here is my message again .... Marlene BUT... REUNIONS ..have been on my mind lately, Are we going to try and get one organized this year in the UK .. and perhaps some smaller ones elsewhere in the world where there are little pockets of Trivvies where people can meet. I'd like to try and get back out West again this year; < snipped > Marlene ___________________________________________________________ Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo!
