Flashback Friday...A Farewell to Remember

So Desta, for all of her brilliance, was fresh out of ideas for Flashback Friday so she asked me to fill in this week. So I looked through some old photos and decided I would remember my mission farewell. Many of you reading this may have been there. If so, here is a picture to remind you of that beautiful day back in the early summer of 1997.

Standing L-R: Jane ???, Doug DeMartini, Desere' Dever, Becky Greene, Josh Matson, LaDonna Hancock, Lindsay Abel, Kelly Jibson, Marie Bird, April Hostetter, Jennie Mae Hancock, Anna Matson, Courtney Abel.
Sitting L-R: Melissa Hancock, Steve Namanny, Julia Hancock, Jesse Schreiber-Schoonyan, James Gillice, Jenny Greene, Cindy Evers, Laura Amussen, Lucy Schmauch

Of all of these people, 1 of you I never even knew, 9 I have lost contact with (as in I would not know how to get a hold of you), 1 of you I am still in touch with because you married one of my best friends, 3 of you I see every once in a while because your sister married one of my best friends, 5 of you I keep in touch with through the internet, 1 of you I see about once a year or so, and 1 of you I just had lunch with yesterday.

Here's another nice shot of me being tickle tortured at the DeMartini's house after the farewell. (Nice cover up LaDonna.)
