Accomplishments
This week has been a week filled with memories I will always cherish. It started with going on a camping trip to Big Basin. I had never gone camping before and I was excited to try this new experience. When we first got to Big Basin, I had no cellphone service and so my significant […]

If we are going to see your shining face this week for SPMC reunion, then by golly, we can’t wait for you to get here!
