Hi Class of 89

[Deborah (Swincer) Grinter]

Hi there,
This is Deborah Grinter (nee Swincer). I live in Melbourne, Australia.

My Faith days seem so long ago! But I've been thinking about old friends and classmates and would love to hear from you all. I'm wondering if the Class of 89 has an alumni web page? And is there a 20th reunion planned?

I married husband Phil 3 years ago and shortly after (on honeymoon) I was diagnosed with Leukaemia. So the last few years has been a journey of recovery, which has been tough but amazing. I'm doing really well now, in complete remission and life is back to normal. I work for the Australian Tax Office as an editor.

Cheers, Deborah

Hi Deborah,

This is Nicki (Davis) Diffin, from the class of 89 too.  I was just wondering about a reunion recently.  I can't believe it has been soooo long!

Hi Nicki! I think CJ Lingenfelder is organising it - but still can't find much information about it. Yeah - 20 years is a long time!

Take care, Deb

Hi Deborah!

I loved seeing you on here. . . I remember you well during your time at Faith.  I remember staying over at your home with you and your sisters one weekend and I still remember nice details of that weekend.  It is so odd how memories float around waiting to be grabbed at and savored.  Thanks for being in touch. . .Yes, I just saw Sarah (Gordon) Vose this past December in Dallas and she did say she's been in touch with you.  Wouldn't I love to find our class and figure out if we have reunion plans!  I think I've actually been to one of ours ('89) and 3 or Robbys (90).  But our class is still the most "DIVINE", I'm sure.   

I'll try to find a way to post a few pics of the 90s reunions.  Let me know if you find C.J.  I'm sure he's roaming the globe as we all are. 

Praise God that you survived a difficult bout with leukemia.  Thanks for your updates.  Keep 'em coming.

Blessings,  Deanna

Hi Deanna,
Lovely to hear from you! I have great memories of hanging out with you too - and yes one of those weekends when you came over. Hope things are going well for you at Faith. And hope you and your family are well. Say hi to Robbie. 

Take care, Deb

Thanks for the note Deborah.  Let's check in frequently to say "hello"!  :-)  If you ever find yourself back in Manila, please stop by and see our family.  I will certainly pass greetings on to Robby.

Blessings, Deanna
