A big, warm welcome to our blog, Rollie. Now we can really shrink the distance between our hometown and elsewhere in the world to virtually nothing. We have you and Lucille covering our hometown; Ernie posting from Canada; Mike, Pilar, Nelia, and Annie & Eddie from the US of A; Josie from the Visayas; Corazon from Australia. Hopefully, the others will take the time to put in their two-centavos worth, then we will truly be well informed about one another and get closer as batchmates, friends, family.
