The Reunion is over!

Yes, we all had a great time. The turn out was good, considering that we did it all by email, in a 6 month period.

Friday night we had "Alumni night" at Rocco's pizza in Walnut Creek. It was a great start. People just kept coming in, more, and more, until we had taken up the whole back of the restaurant. We passed yearbooks, laughed, drank, ate pizza, drank, and laughed some more!

The next day we (the committee) started at Howard's at 10:30, setting up tables, inflating balloons, making the first batch of Margaritas, and iceing the beer. At 3, classmates started to arrive. Some people were nervous that nobody would know them, but someone always did. You'd be visiting and laughing with someone, when in the background you'd hear.....Jon Crovo!

There were quite a first time attendees. Glenna Graffort, Jon Ponce de Leon, Peggy Walsh, and quite a few others.

The food was excellent, all-you-can eat Mexican food. Beef, chicken, or pork tacos, tostadas, rice and beans. The band started about 7, and everyone danced and had a great time. We were treated to Therese Chudy on vocals, and Steve Roseman, on keyboard for a tune. They always do a great job. We in this class have alot of very talented people we share backgrounds with.

After dark we lit a huge fire in the fire pit, and we even got some of us to do the Warrior "war dance" around the fire. Then somebody broke into, All hail to thee, Ygnacio Valley High....
followed by a couple cheers, and lots of giggles.

We had blinking name tags for the alumni, so it was easy to see after dark who was alumni, and who were guests. The tags were very fun, and a little intoxicating inside a dark bathroom!

We ended up with money left over, thanks to the generosity of Scott Moran, Jim Pebley, and Dick Mobley. Thanks to them.

The next day was "clean up". It went pretty fast, and then we all sat around and laughed and enjoyed the festivities again. Before going home....... for a nap!
