“Not be­cause we re­tire that don’t mean we ex­pire.”

The ladies of Melville Memo­r­i­al Pri­ma­ry School came out for the school’s sec­ond re­union brunch in their num­bers, shim­mer­ing and vi­brant.

The past stu­dents came ear­ly, ea­ger to meet up even though it meant wait­ing. Some hugs brought tears, some brought smiles so wide they spread from ear to ear.

Re­peaters met first timers and the Light­house Restau­rant at Crews Inn was the stage for mem­o­ries and love.
