We had a real good reunion.
We're really glad we went.
The vittals we et were great you bet
The company was devine

A great time was had by all.. at least the class members.
No one got splashed by red wine because they took another's boyfriend 40 years ago (that actually happened)

It was really nice to see some of the class members that haven't been coming to the others. We even had an almost party crasher. He was a older administrator and his wife that had just attended a 50 year reunion and he thought that he would drop by the 40th one that was being held at the El Rancho. We invited him in even though he was an administrator of Capp (the San Bruno high school) instead of El Camino in SSF.

Franscisco was going to be picked up hy us. but we were running a little late (into the no host bar time) so his sister delivered him to the reunion with his mother. We went outside when he arrived and I reaquainted myself with his family.

The buffet was really good. There were many fruits and vegetables at the beginning of buffet line and salmon and prime rib at the end. The deserts were great too. Carrot, chocolate decadence, lemon, and white cake with strawberry moouse cake were offered. There were not many that passed up the cake.

We all had a great time. Fransisco stayed for the after party. We were long gone. Our eyes were flashed to death by the digital cameras that everyone sported.

We sat at the table with Bruce Burns and Carole Brown. There were six of all together. There was plenty of room for the 80 people that attended.

A large number of members came up and thanked me personally for my work in getting the web pages up and updated. It was nice to feel appreciated.

The next day we met up with Earl and picked up Heather and went to the legion of Honor. There was a great visiting display of art for the Simon collection in Berlin. Some of the really ancient artifacts were on display from the Sumeria Babylon era. Most impressive to me was a shiny black bull sculpture dating to the 25th century BC.
I also was impressed by the artifacts that were collected from the silk trail that connected the European counties with China. Some of the original silks were held under dirt to keep from prying hands.

We had lunch at the cafe and headed home in the teeth of the football crowd who suffered through a crushing defeat at the hands of the seahawks. Monet's waterlilies topped that any day.

We whistled on home tired but gratified for a great weekend.
