It was so great to see so many of you last Saturday. You were all looking so beautiful in you near 40s.
We had Emily Gibbons, Janice Van Mondfrans, Erin Bergeson, Kenji Kawasaki (in from Seattle), Byron Ames (up from Vegas), Matt Reynolds (and family), Gordon Harkness, Maria Staffieri, Dustin Pead (and family), Dave Backman, Greg Wells (in from Chicago), Todd Wakefield, and Benjamin Heuston (and family)--and I think I caught a glimps of Teri Johnson at the picnic but when I looked around she was gone. Can someone confirm? We met with families at the school for lunch and then as couples at Nancy and Dusty Heuston's house for an informal dinner.
We reached many out-of-Staters who sent greetings but were unable to make it, and a number who had hoped to be able to come but who had things come up at the last minute. There are still a number of people that we haven't been able to find contact information for but we will continue the hunt.
Tomorrow, if I can get my wife to download the photos I took, I'll post some images of the evening gathering. If anyone else has any, I'd be happy to post those as well.
Many thanks to the school for the picnic and Benj (probably Heather) Heuston for organizing the food, and to Nancy & Dusty for their gracious hospitality until late in the night Saturday--even with Gospel Doctrine lessons looming. It was wonderful to see them again.
