I always look forward 2 c any article from there. We went to St.Joseph's High school, we had lots of friends not sure any one lives there any longer, I still have family from my Mom's side lives there, but no contact.

    Its sad, we moved out from there, and moved to U.S.A My both parents passed away, I still regret not keeping in touch with our close family and friends. Please include us in your daily prayers, prayers can do miracles. That's all for now
