Remembering

One member moved to the Midwest last we heard.

One member built a cabin then a home with her husband in the woods of Maine.

Another is a proud mom, theater and music maven and pursuing her grants career.

One has a new floral career and a huge garden.

Another has opened a gallery/arts/performance space near her new home.

The last one is still retired, with a few music open mics now and then.

Ah well the river does flow on

From the Shijin get-together in Summer 2015

On August 22, 2015 we Shijin held a reunion meeting. We had three Shijin present: Faith, Dasha & Mad Mar, a fourth, Robin, attending via Skype, one new spouse Aaron, attending as an honorary member, another Eli, could not join us that day. The photographer forgot to take a selfie and adds a pic from that summer.

Forward into the future!

One member moved to the Midwest.
One member lives in Maine now.
Another is a newly wed.
Two are very busy at the height of their it careers.
The last one is retired.

Ah well the river flows on.....
