Thank you all for showing up! It was a joy and delight seeing you all.
I thought this would be a good pic - and I was right...
Representatives (one each) from classes of
1978, 77, 76, 75, 74, 73, 72, and 71!
No All Alumni picnic would be complete without an OLMOS sighting!
Thanks, Frank! We love you and your whole family. Give Rosa our best.
CLASS OF 1938! If you have ever been to the history center of the Mountain View Library, you know this lady. It is both humbling and exciting to see all the people from classes that came before us coming out to smile and have some fun.
My motto for the day, when anybody mentioned the "O" word, was "We're not old. All the old people stayed home today." ...no disrespect to those who were unable to make it due to previously made plans, infirmaties, or sheer distance. ; )
1938 people!!! Here she is with her twin sister.
The only person missing from this photo is Tim Hickey. But he did show up, despite having a full plate of events that day. And that made my day. But the best reception of the day goes to Tom Lovelace...you had to be there.
For those of you who couldn't make it this year, here are the MINUTES from the day:
See how thin the crowd is in this pic? It is noteworthy to bring up that the class of 1975
CLOSED THE PICNIC DOWN this year. Yep, we were the last people standing in the BBQ pit area on Saturday. ...memorable.
The Disc Jockey died last year and so there was no disc jockey this year.
Vince Pezzella and some volunteers BBQ'd this year, but the rumor is they AREN'T going to next year.
This year there wasn't any drawings for prizes. My guess is that won't happen next year either.
-----------------
Well, whether somebody picks up the batton and breathes new life into this event or not, it is enough for me to just see the smiling faces of the people I went to High School with and spend a few precious hours once a year.
Come hell or come high water, you can't take the first Saturday in October away from us!!!
See YOU next year?
Until then...
