Maier Reunion, 2006!
Jeronimo's Resort, Catskills, NY
Dear Maiers, both genetic and by association, Life is too short to miss out on its great pleasures. At least we didn't let that little lesson go unheeded last weekend! We basked in the sunlight with each other, honed our thespian talents, and got to know each other better. Hats off to Agnes and Peggy for organizing it!
Here are some photo memories. Can't wait to see our cinematic spectacular!
