Steve Braden

You all look great!  Who would think to look at any of you that you graduated from high school almost 55 years ago (that means you would be in your 70's)?  I wish I could have been there but I had more important places to be like the hospital.  I got out yesterday and have been in twice for 4 days each in the last 2 weeks.  I have vowed to stay away from any place resembling a hospital for the rest of 2020.  Oh, well, God is in control and so I am trusting Him.  Nice gathering to part of a great reunion team. Thanks, Doug, for organizing this.

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping to come to the next breakfast club, but being out at Palm Springs, I have to get up really early to get there by 9:30.  So we will see what that week brings. 

Jerry Labuda

Good looking group. Hope your doing better Steve, God bless you. Love to have you show up Tom, we have a great visit.

Jerry Labuda

It's breakfast time again fellow rebels. We're meeting Tuesday February 25th at 9:30AM at the Keno's restaurant at 2661 LaPalma just West of Magnolia. Come on down, hope to see you there. The breakfast will be in memory of our senior class president Steve Braden.

Attention all you golfers or duffers. Fr. Maxilian Kolbe Charities, the charity I work with is sponsoring their 9th annual golf tournament on April 20, 2020 to raise funds for other local charities such as CHOC hospital, Boys and Girls clubs Mercy House, and Fisher House and many others. Earlier this year they donated $200 to the Class of 65 Legacy Fund from the 3 golfers ( Doug Bell, Greg Cook, and myself) that participated in the tournament last year. Once again Kolbe Charities will donate $50 to the Legacy Fund for each golfer from Savanna High School that golfs in this tournament up to $1000. This will be a great way to have some fun golfing and also support Kolbe Charities and our Legacy Fund at the same time. It will be a fun and entertaining day with lunch and dinner served plus on the course beverages. If you are interested see the attached flyer or email me at      NANCYJERRYL@YAHOO.COM or text me at 714-458-5382. Come join the fun.

Greg Cook

You can count this duffer in!

Doug Bell

_{I can't play in this event this year, but we had a great time last year.  Kudos to Jerry for the tournament's contribution to our Savanna65 Legacy Fund.  I hope you and Greg complete the day without serious injury and well represent all of us in the bar at day's end.}

I think we all can relate to one or more of these!

Love this Nancy,  think I'll try the parking lot scheme.

"Some people are not shaking hands because of the corona-virus. I am not shaking hands because everyone is out of toilet paper."

Linda Wonn (Carpenter)

That's about it! Stay safe and well everyone!

Gordon Reed

Well done Greg. I got in a month supply a couple of weeks ago so I could stil shake hands but all the "experts" say somone our age is particularly at risk if they contract covid-29.

Stay safe out there folks.

Michael Elliott

Thanks for the needed levity, Nancy and Greg!

Mitch Wise

Like Mike, glad some of us still have some sense of humor.  This too will pass.  France is requiring that anyone leaving their home download, print and fill out a form stating the reason you are out of your house.  Police will ticket anyone out without a valid reason. Knowing how the French love their independence, I am sure this will go over like a lead balloon.  But we have to stay safe.  As in Italy where the younger generations did not heed the call to stay in, our younger generations in France did the same thing.  The parks and places along the Seine were so crowded, one could not find a place to sit.  So much for social distancing.

Greg Cook

Thanks for the insight Mitch. While America may have been slow to react we are taking steps that seem to be working. Unless of course you happened to try to shop at COSTCO over the past couple of weeks.

Michael Elliott

Looks like a great environment to avoid exposure!  Never thought Costco would look so much like Mumbai.

Charlie Groh

...man, I'm just shakin' my head.  I want to say "idiots!" like I do when I'm driving (heh) but I realize that most are in family situations and fear is ramped-up in a group far faster than with a sole individual.  So, I trundle off to Target this morning and buy my instant oatmeal, 2 cans of peanuts cuz they were a 2-fer, and some Kombutcha which not many like so there was a bunch, and my fave humus...I made it out without a scratch.  Now, I still run around a bit doing my various building jobs (all pretty small and tight) and the interesting thing about the present scare is that *now* after seven decades of life, I finally am aware of where I place my hands and how, even with gloves, I need to be conscious of this!   Haha, we live in interesting times (which the original "May you live in an interesting age" was a curse heaped upon an enemy by Chinese warriors) and, I suppose, I wouldn't have it any other way.  If I had a choice...  ;0)

Jonel Brown (Lancaster)

Some fun for our crazy times!

Michael Elliott

Kathleen Daulton (Dacey)

That's really funny!!!  Mike, looks like the garage might be the only place you could practice social distancing so maybe you will have to travel alone for the most part. Charlie, I have a small shopping list, too.  I would add peanut m & m's to mine.  I like to get some protein in each day.  Good to hear from all of you.  Take care. 

Linda Wonn (Carpenter)

Here Here for those peanut M & M's And they have plenty left in the stores. Amazing.! Lots of chocolate everywhere! As long as we have chocolate left, I think we'll be good. Stay safe everyone.

Linda Marks (Bird)

Doug Bell

You people are so stuck in the past.  The new best thing ever is dark chocolate-mint Twix bars.  Two packages at each seating are about right.  High in chocolate-mint -- low in protein. 

Mitch Wise

All you chocolate lovers would fit right into French culture.  There is always a huge chocolate display in the grocery stores, but at Easter Time and Christmas, it turns into several isles.  Plus the lines in the chocolate shops are kind of like the lines at Costco now, out the door.  All of you stay safe.
