A Gift for RememberingTM
Artist's Comment: my 40th high school reunion's coming up this year, so no surprise this was on my mind
for many years i was very proud of never having missed one of our get-togethers, but that fell apart the most recent decade (how convenient to be able to place time in large blocks now :-)
from the first ten yr reunion where the worry was who'd look good and who wouldn't, to the more recent, wondering who'll show up and who no longer can, reunions are a good reminder of our markers in life

Special notes:
The text presented in the photo example below is how we print, a more cursive pretty font that won't reprint well here.
Also, we adjust the font size of the title, copyright, personalization, to fit both the writing itself, and the constraints of the mat opening (window) of the 8x10's we use.
