Well, it is officially summer, here’s some details about our upcoming reunion. The informal (but official) 45th reunion for the Class of ’79 is being planned at the little berg of New Bridge, just north of Richland, Oregon.
We are taking Don and Brenda Flowers up on their offer to hold the class reunion at their place August 23-24 (Friday evening and Saturday) and August 25 (Sunday morning) breakfast. Their place has beautiful grounds, lots of space and shade, and water flowing through it. It’s a wonderful location to re-connect with our friends, classmates and teachers we haven’t seen in… as many as 45 years and have a relaxing weekend.
Meals:
Friday
Evening: A taco bar, and chicken for those that can’t eat spice.
Saturday
Morning: Breakfast will be served!
Evening: Seafood boil and beef Tri-Tip roast
Sunday
Morning: Breakfast
It will be free of charge to anyone, with donations accepted to cover the cost of purchasing the food, paper plates, etc. Everyone is asked to bring their own beverages, ice and cooler.
The groceries will be purchased ahead of time with donations covering the cost. We will be looking for help with preparation and clean up.
RSVP:

Take that left turn onto New Bridge Road and drive approximately 2½ miles where a sign welcomes you to New Bridge. Take a left on Second Street and drive straight down two blocks to the dead end. You have arrived— the physical address is 35808 Second Street, Richland, Oregon 97870
Message from Don:
We want everyone to be comfortable, have laughs with friends and leave with lots of good memories. Our place is a lived-in house… so if you spill a pop, water or beer, we’ll just have a laugh and get you another one. If anyone wants to come earlier, you’re also very welcome. Jon Hanley said he will be here early to paint rocks. If you have any questions or concerns, please just call me or send me an email.
