Just thinking about our reconvening brings back such wonderful memories. True, much has changed; but some things never change, like the good times we shared and the friendships we made with one another. The spirit and education we received at Vincentian continue to form us--and to unite us with a common bond, however far apart we may be in miles. In a few short months we will actually have a chance to laugh together again, to recall fond memories, and to share life stories. It will be a very special time for all of us--a time not to be missed. It's true--the years have flown, and the V.I. classrooms might be gone, but the ties that bind us will always be there! Can't wait to see you in September!
