April 9th Luncheon at the Bold Knight

Ron, Art and Gene

On April 9th a luncheon was held at the Bold Knight. It was mainly for locals who could gather on short notice. All of the pictures didn't turn out so some classmates aren't shown - Carol Portal, Jim Valenti, Carolyn Mauro and Bill Kogura.

The impetus for the gathering was the Vicki Lawrence show, attended by Bill and Jean Nix, Doreen Aimonetti and Leo and Carolyn Mauro. Doreen thought she recognized the Nixes at the show, but they didn't recognize her, telling her she must have them mistaken for some other famous couple. Only later did she realize who they were, hence the surprise set-up at this luncheon. It seemed a good-enough excuse to get together.

Bill and Jean had just returned from a European river cruise. They said it was cold but enjoyable. Doreen is keeping busy with children and grandchildren and as if that weren't enough, a new puppy. Leo is well recovered from his bypass operation. Ron is doing okay. Jan and Gene seem to always be away traveling, but except for Gene falling off a ladder and breaking his wrist, are in good health.

It was a treat to see Jim Valenti who we hadn't seen since the 50th reunion. He's sporting a goatee and feeling fine, playing golf whenever he can. Art seemed in good spirits as he gets over the loss of his Louella. Bev and Jake are finally retiring, hoping to get everything cleared up by June.

So an enjoyable time was had by all......
