Saturday Night - Part I

We had our barbecue dinner in the Avadim lunchroom, courtesy of Suzanne's brother, Steve, and it was just perfect for our purposes. Thanks, Steve. Thanks also to all those who pitched in with the set-up and the clean-up, especially Karen, Katie, and Kathryn. Suzanne, Anne, and Jan - everything was gran(d)!

John and Katie, Chuck and Barbara, and Jan.

Suzie and Pat. Charlie talking to Anne. Kip over by the clock. . .

Table 1 seems to be staying put. Pat and Karen are at table 2. Tony, Kip, Barbara Board, Mary and Bill are around Table 3. Charlie and Anne are still talking as Kathryn breezes by.

Barbara is at Table 1. Lew, Suzie, and Pat at Table 2. And Tony, Kip, Barbara are at Table 3 with Mary and Bill.

Table 2: Suzie and Lew. Table 3: Kathryn, Tony, Kip, Barbara, Bill and Mary.

Table 1: Still no movement; Jan is just out of frame to the left.

Table 1 is maintaining the status quo. . . but Karen's returned to Table 2 and Anne is shooting pictures without a license (and pictures of me for heaven's sake)!

Everyone settled briefly while Tony gave a nod to our collective good fortune just to be here 50 years after graduating, and commented on classmates and/or spouses who have health issues and those not able to be with us for whatever reason. Kathryn, Kip and the rest of us appreciated his sentiment.

Lew is behind the rose on the left, while Suzanne and Kip chat.

Anne and Katie are engaged with Barbara Board, Jan is in conversation with Pat, Barbara Butcher is talking to Karen, Chuck's talking to John, and Tony's fixing a drink.

Table 1, same as above. Table 2, Kathryn changed tables, Mary turned her chair around, and Charlie's thinking about where to stir up trouble next.

Pat, Jan, Anne, Barbara, Katie, and John. . . and way too much of that apple pie still on the table.

John, Chuck, Barbara, Suzanne, Karen and, at Table 2, Lew.

Kathryn and Mary.

Lew, Kathryn, Mary, and Charlie. . . and even more apple pie at Table 2.

Patrick and Jan, with Anne hiding behind the pole.
