SPHS ALUMNI PICNIC 2010 Report!

We had a wonderful time at the alumni picnic. They estimate somewhere around 450 attendees, which is about double what they have had for the past few years, with the exception of last year, which was around 425.

It was great to see the following Class of '69ers there: Joe Grossi, Paul de Joseph, Connie Wardlow, Cheryl Griffin, Scott Borton, Arlene Mitchell Borton, Rosemary Moffet Hutchings, Barbara Jahier Baccus, Heather Gregory Sager. (You can add me, Stefanie Clark Eskander to the list!)

It was wonderful to see a few classmates from other years, including Steve Cipriani '68, Phil Halpin '68, and his wife Nancy Johnson Halpin '70, Diane Hershberger '70, Terri Stimpfel Hall '70, Ron Acosta '67, John Large '67, Janet Stone '67, Gail Blaikie '68, Tom Larson '70. I'm sure I missed a few folks, but I just wanted to mention some of the people I was able to visit with.

My husband Bruce had the camera during the picnic. He was trying to get photos of every group and class, and sadly underrepresented our class. He did a wonderful job with the photos, just not too many of  the Class of '69. I am including a nice photo of Connie Wardlow and her Mom Madelynne Coleman Wardlow, class of '41, and Connie's brother David, class of '63.
