Herr Taylor -

Thanks for the invite. I will definitely attend. I haven't been to a Deutsch Weihnachtsfest in about 20 years. Even though I haven't been attending your annual events I love it that you remember us all. You were one of my favorite teachers...your classes were some of the most enjoyable.

I am still living in Morton Grove, IL with my husband Craig and pet beagle. My Mom recently moved from our home in Hoffman Estates of 40 years this past August. I don't know if you remember all my brothers that were also in German class, Mike Bogucki - 1979; Ed Bogucki - 1980; and Eugene Bogucki - 1982 (now known as Grant Stillwood).

I hope that you are enjoying your retirement. It doesn't seem possible that you've been teaching that long. But then I remember that next year will be 30 years ago that I graduated from HEHS, so I guess that I'm getting older too. I will try to send you a photo later this week, when I have a chance to go thru our vacation photos at home.
 
I have finally gotton around to looking up a photo to send you (from our vacation this fall to Southern Illinois). Thanks for all your efforts to make this virtual Christmas party enjoyable for all.
Just noticed that another of your alumni included a photo of their beagle, so I am going to send you one of my beagle girl...Bonnie. She is our 4 yr old "fur child". You don't have to "seat" her...she will just sit quietly by my feet, waiting for some tasty table scraps.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
