“Little baker girl” – also a restaurant in Newcastle.

I met Dennis – aka 7th-grade-boyfriend (65 years ago) – in Newcastle for dinner. Fun to catch up every once in a while.

All 1960s graduating classes from Rio Linda High School. Me: 1966, my 57th class reunion. At the American Legion Hall.

Classic cars parked out front.

Due to a miscommunication, we arrived rather late. Many people had already left. Visiting was more important than eating. So, afterwards, we went to dinner at Mas Fuego.

Lucky me. Before he left, he changed my air filters. Thanks DQ.

Clarence Otis was in town for a couple of weeks and Val invited a few of his long-time friends to come over for a visit.

This was a mini-Rio Linda High School reunion. I think only 2 people at the party didn’t graduate from RLHS. Glenn Clark with two of his girlfriends from high school: Val Sills (left) and Linda Krueger.

Mike Renneker, Mike Rudy – I think their smiles reflect the good time everyone had.

Thank you Val for bringing all of us together one more time. You do this tirelessly and generously and probably don’t get thanked enough. THANK YOU!
