Last weekend I was lucky to be able to attend my nurses reunion in Dubuque. We trained at Mercy School of Nursing for 3 years, all year long, and bonded for life! There were 21 out of the remaining 34 gathered together in a mutual admiration society-with fantastic memories, shared friendship, and stories of our accomplishments. There were 170 at the banquet, and we were proud to have Mary Edith win the award for nurse of the year. It was probably a surprise that someone from our so called "wild class"could be so honored. Sister Mary Rose would never believe how successful we've been! Thanks to Miss Tully we turned out to be really good nurses! We seemed to have stayed strong through many tradgedies, but have also had many blessings! Hopefully, we'll all be together for our 50th!
A group of us were there early and we went up to the Archive room at the hospital.
Here we're looking at newspaper clippings of our class.

A long time has passed since we wore the cape, hat and white gloves!
