Richard G., retired corrections officer and now long-haul trucker was there too,
as was the ever-bubbly Karen V. (P) and her hubby Rick. Other first timers, who also happen to be retired (yippee!), were Karin B. (S) and her man Steve, Dave K., and Danny B. and Ray W., along with their lovely spouses Pat and Joanne. The veteran group of grad partiers included Eleanor H. (G), Nadine K. (S) and hubby Art, Denise D., Sherril L., Rick and Cheryl B., Glen B. and France (his wife, not the country), Ron H., Ronna M. (F) and Ron, Marnie K. (S), Jeff D., Al F., Rick S., Doug B., Neil B. and Debbie, Bev S. (W) and Doug. Rounding out this good-natured group was the irrepressible Ms. Deborah R. (F) and the affable Val R. (K), aka The Nacho Fairy, whose lovely daughter Kira was serving us throughout the evening.
Not only was this get-together a "blast from the past", it was indeed a blast in the present. If you missed it, you MUST come to the next one, or we'll be bringing the party to your house ;)
Cheers,
M
P.S. Hats off to Sherril L., aka Sherrilock, for her diligence and effort in tracking down all the new-comers, and for gettin' this party started.
