We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

Jefferson Hotel, now J Arms, site of our Graduation night party....news

I have long hoped that someday we'd be able to have a reunion at the Jefferson Hotel, now Jefferson Arms, but it was not to be...the property had deteriorated badly and never was refurbished.  This month has seen news of a Dallas - based company, Alterra Intl, which has a contract to buy the building and plans to make it a "new hub of downtown activity on Tucker Blvd."  Check out the story from the Post as of 6/24/15
 - gives renewed hope we could have a reunion there sometime in the future: http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/apartments-and-hotel-planned-for-jefferson-arms-building-in-downtown/article_1e0dbbc1-9869-5e61-9912-08e7291acf13.html I'm not so much into Feng Shui, but maybe that aspect will help make it a reality and we can have a reunion with a bit of Feng Shui!
