But one can't help but wonder if alcohol was involved, as Max gives the photographer the finger.

I might also request that next time somebody bring a regular camera, so we can recognize the characters.  It's been about 50 years for some people, you know.

OK Jack, I took a regular camera, so I hope this makes you happy!!! Sorry you weren't there but you weren't forgotten. Unfortunately, I missed getting shots of a couple of folks, but you are right, there was a fair amount of elbow bending.

I got there right at 6pm and saw Ed Stanfield with his skinny body vigorously waving his hands in the air. He was about 15 minutes early and had convinced himself that he had the wrong date. So, he went ape-s__t when he saw a familiar face. Dave Long and his wife Dorothy were newcomers, along with Angie Ehrmantraut, Sue's daughter. Max Maxwell and Julie Hart were the other out-of-state visitors. About 25 others were there including Larry Ernst.

I'll drop several photos now and try to add a few others later. ENJOY!!!

I feel like Eddie Murphy in the movie "Trading Places" when he said "I can see, I can see".

That was very nice of Jerry.  Helen, I knew they were cousins because Connie always teased me about dating her cousin. 

It looks like everyone had a good time Saturday night.  I wish we could have gone. 

Ed, you look great!  My husband has lost about 45 pounds, so it must be easier for men to lose.  HAHA

Mel:

Thanks for the photos.  Sorry I couldn't be there.

Judy Tynan (Danielson)

My condolances to Linda Meister on the passing of her mother.  Thoughts are with you.

Milan Jackson

Linda, I want to add mine to Judy's. I worked with Martha for several years at JC Penney's. She was a fantastic lady! God bless your family.

David Long

Can anyone think of a reason that the photo upload feature doesn't work with a MAC?  I may have to dig through boxes of junk to find an old Windows machine....

David Long

Never mind - user error - the photo file on the MAC is so large that what appeared to be a hang was just the load function looking for the files in Browse.

Helen Nicolaysen (Thompson)

David, Sometimes the Mac can throw us for a loop, but I love my Mac and imagine you do too!

David Long

Once you get used to exiting out of an application in the upper left corner instead of the upper right corner and that the delete key is the same as backspace unless you depress the function key at the same time, I couldn't be happier - with the iPhone, iPad, and Mac all being the same platform, life is easy....hope you're doing well.

Marilyn Evans (Tate)

Happy Birthday Judy!

Judy Tynan (Danielson)

Thank you Marilyn!!  It was a good one even thought I am OLD!!!

Of course at this age they are all good.

Marilyn Evans (Tate)

Hey, I saw you on cruise nite. You don't look too shabby for an "old person".

Judy Tynan (Danielson)

I didn't see you why didn't you yell at me????  That is about the only time I see anyone I know.

Marilyn Evans (Tate)

You were too far away at the time. I was hoping to run into you again but never did.  It was very crowded that night.  We plan on being at the next one.  So if you are there I will be sure to yell. You know "old people" can't hear too well so I will yell extra LOUD!

Rod Hayes and others in East Texas:

You are about to get some serious rain from the hurricane remnants!   Hope it washes out some mosquitoes for y'all!

A friend's brother died here today from contracting West Nile from mosquitoes in our Upper Valley.

I go out of my way to stay out of the valleys in the summer.   They have standing water from irrigation.   Nothing is worth getting what our mosquitoes have; West Nile virus and a kind of ensephylitis.   I hope I spelled that correctly!

Good luck to ya!

Never mind.   I figured it out.

Gerald (Jerry) Plummer

Hmmm.  Hurricanes and West Nile Virus make it hard to pass up a trip to Texas.  You can always come to Northern California but remember it's summer here so bring a sweater, right Holly? 

Helen Nicolaysen (Thompson)

GREAT FAMILY PICTURE Jerry! Family moments are PRICELESS!
