    Dear Readers,
    We hope you enjoy our latest HixNews issue. As you read Wendy Elkis Girnis' article about Military Nurses,  you will notice she did not include Vietnam nurses or those who served in Iraq or Afghanistan. We hope our readers can supply first-hand accounts of those military heroes. If you were a military nurse or wounded or served in Iraq or Afghanistan, please send us some memories for our November issue. We will publish after Veterans' Day but we would still like to include those memories. Article contributions, suggestions, and news are always welcome. We would love to hear from you, too! Don't hesitate to get in touch with us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

It's been very interesting finding out who we've become. Aside from turning older, that is.

I won't be able to come to the reunion, but did pull out my yearbook from the Senior Trip. What a trip that was! I'm (still) married to a college professor and we're about to embark on our last sabbatical before Alan retires.

I went through a few careers - medical technician - nuclear medical technician - and ended up doing case management at an Area Agency for Aging in Massachusetts while Alan taught at the University of Massachusetts .

When we moved to Nebraska in 1990 I started volunteer work. Hospice, and Lincoln Literacy Council, helping Afghan women adjust to life in America . Many of them are now speaking English with my N.Y. Accent.

My daughter and the 3 grandchildren live near Seattle , my son lives in Brooklyn .

For sabbatical, we'll be in Seattle Dec. to mid-March, then mid-March through June in Kyoto . Learning Japanese is akin to pulling teeth, for me, but I hope to be able to put my tutoring to good use as well as learn some interesting weaving techniques to share with my guild.

By the time I return home, I'm going to be very short on both money, and energy. I'm already vertically challenged.

Have a great reunion.
