Brannan, Jerry & Donna (Miller) - Milton Freewater, OR - 7/8/05 - email - "I'm sorry to say that we will not be able to attend the 60's reunion this year.  We were looking forward to seeing everyone, but one of the secretaries (Mary) at my office was diagnosed with uterine cancer this week.  She will be off work for at least 8 to 10 weeks which will leave us short-handed. Please greet all our friends for us and we will anticipate joining you next year."  - Donna & Jerry
