Diane --

Oh, you SHOULD go to the reunion. It really sounds terrific and is at the Renaissance Hotel. There will be apparently a lot of new faces this time and I wish I could go but this layoff in December proved to happen at the worst time ever. You can always email me more directly at aifulginiti@gmail.com anytime. I'll tell you what. Why don't you send an email to Mark Garcia -- the HHS Webmaster on this site and ask if he can put you in touch with Dave Moreno and explain to him I tried to connect you and Dave back last summer so you could go through the boxes he said he had of all the old HHS newspapers which announced your successful win with the poem. Or have him have Dave reach you so you can connect with him directly. Tell Mark that I started to try to achieve this contact for you back in late July or August and nothing came of it and you would really like to find your poem and, at the very least, the HHS Newspaper edition that announced it and published the poem (which would probably be sometime between March and June 1970).

Yes, there are still worrisome health issues going on at this end with my husband (off and on) and we had a tough Winter with the weather which didn't help either. I am going to be checking out personal Laptop prices to try to get one for home use so I can accomplish a lot more on job searches than the resource centers allow me on restricted time.

We will stay in touch. Don't be worried about being shy. You are and have always been a lively and loveable girl and you'd be surprised how many fellow alums would be thrilled to see you there!
