Friday night was an informal get-together at Casa Sorrento...it's owned by one of our classmates, Mike Hackett, and I also went to grammar school with him...now that's going WAY BACK!
Tim Castro, me, Leonard Santiago and yes, that's JUDE URETA...our class president...
Marsha (Queturas) Santiago, Jeff Lopez, Jim Innocenti, Sandee Nelson and me....talk about going WAY BACK...we all went to El Gabilan Elementary together....I think Mike is hiding!
We were running late leaving Fremont, so, Jeff dropped me off at Elizabeth's house, and Mr. Armstrong picked BOTH of us up! Boy, was he surprised to see me at Eliz's. (I don't know if it was a "pleasant" or "bad" surprise...)
Hans and Margie came all the way from Kent, WA for the reunion. Margie and I met at El Sausal Junior High. We were always seated close to each other (in class and yearbook) since both of our last names started with an "I". She is one of the sweetest people I know!
Suzette Tindall and I are catching up on life...we might have been talking about Girl Scouts, HAH!
Okay, let's talk about Small Worlds, Rob Tompkins and I were talking about "what are you doing now" and I found out that he worked with "my mother's cousins' husband" (did ya follow that?) ...funny huh? Then Rob and Jeff started talking about softball and they lost me...willingly...(I am so glad softball days are over...too many weekends freezing in S.F. with no bathrooms...or roasting in Sacramento....)
Our class Valedictorian, Chun Lee, came to his FIRST reunion! Now that I am "friends" on FB with his wife Rina, he has no excuse for missing any more!
Kim and I go back to Kindergarten! Isn't she pretty, just like back then! She had done a great job with all of our reunions...we are lucky to have her!
Marsha and me....we went together to the reunion while Pete played with the boys at my parents' house. Dad and Jordan dropped him off at Marsha's mom's house later that night...
More of the El Gabilan Elementary crew, Jim Innocenti (he came out from Colorado Springs), Sandra Villalobos, Marsha, Suzette, me, Lee Hickinbotham, Kim and Sandee Nelson.
