I can't adequately explain or communicate what happened Saturday morning in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Brownie troop 249 held a meeting in my parents' living room. Our last meeting was sometime in 1967 or so. As one Girl Scout after another walked through the front door, all I could think was, "We are all playing dress up!" We looked like grown women, nearing 60. Yet, we are still girls! We laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time. The memories and the tears flowed.
Let the pictures tell the story. You will note that all of the Scouts on the left side of the 1962 picture attended our Saturday morning tea. What does that mean? We plan on a gathering next summer, and would love to bring even more of the Troop together.
Stay tuned, I am putting together a short essay.
What a wonderful time for all of you! Hope you had a fabulous weekend reconnecting with friends. I see some familiar faces from Parkwood days in the Girl Scout picture - can you send the names of people?
