Hi everyone,


On Tuesday, March 3, 2009, the home of Andy Hug’s parents was destroyed by fire.  Articles can be found on the Press-Citizen website:

Our reunion committee has decided to make a $100 contribution on behalf of our class to the Hug family for expenses that will not be covered by insurance.   If you wish to contribute separately, a fund has been established at Coralville United Methodist Church, to help cover expenses that insurance won't.


Checks can be written to "CUMC--Hug Family Relief Fund" and sent to 806 13th Ave Coralville IA 52241.


On another happier note, a number of you -- 52 that I have found -- have joined Facebook (www.facebook.com).  I have created a group for our class called Iowa City West Class of 1978 (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=5910966633&ref=ts) and so far 42 have joined.  It’s easy to connect with others from our class as well as other classes.  In fact it can be a little addicting!  In the last month alone nearly 30 people have signed on.  I hope you consider, it is a good way to get reacquainted with old (former, that is!) friends. 

We wish the Hug family best in their recovery.


As always, take good care.
