Everyone that I spoke with had a really great time! It was fairly mellow and low-key with good conversations, GREAT FOOD AND DRINKS, renewals of friendships, and the making of new friends.
A few snapshots follow. Sorry if I get any names wrong...
Our sponsor and chief bearer of the Bardini torch, Don Lauria:
Co-Host at Mill Creek Station, Roger Derryberry. (Sorry, Mary Lou, our other co-host, I didn't get a good picture of you.)
Guido, Nancy, their daughter Kali, Cody and I stayed with Russ and Lori McLean.
Some of Allan Bard's family attended:
That's enough for tonight! More tomorrow???

Ah well, I've only known Jim for 40 years so why would you expect me to spell his name right?!

And Boo Dawg you are so right! It was a wonderful, mellow event. Listening to the stories was like living the campfire.
"No, they didn't even have gold line then, they just used the white, hardware store rope."
"Gear? If you needed something you made it."
Gotta treasure the pioneers from each generation that were there last Saturday along with spouses and friends.
Much thanks to Roger Derryberry, Mary Lou Long and Don Lauria for putting on this great event. Roger said it might be a good idea not to wait 10 years to get together again. I think everyone said a silent "right on". Let's do it in 2018!!! I'll help. Cheers, lynnie

Welcome Dale!
Wow. Another real life legend.
We’ve shaken hands at OR a couple of times probably
Late 1990’s. Always dug your stoke man.
Met Allan in the Buttermilks in the early 1990’s.
Would love to hear you chime in on some great threads.
I will bump some.
