Hello again to all of our classmates! I've been very busy as a volunteer at Santa Anita for the Breeder's Cup races one weekend ago past! I was in charge of the Owner's Escorts who broke a path for the horse owners one race before their horses were racing, escorting their entourage to the saddle barn, paddock, and then to their race seats/suites/boxes, etc. I went to the winner's circle three times over the two days, and escorted the owner's party for Arrogate, who beat California Chrome in the $6 Million final race to the winners circle and on to the celebrations, interviews, etc. A great week to be a volunteer; something that I do not usually do! However, I might be in charge of this group of volunters next year at Del Mar!
So, with more time to donate to more later things, I am going to donate some time to the reunion and will decide within a few days as to which group can use my resources, as I still live in Hastings Ranch!!
Yea, I am going to make a donation to the group, and will buy a shirt; that's the least that I can do at this time.
Also, from reading some of the message forum contributions from you awesome classmates, and preliminary suggestions of our classmates (who are advocating) participating in some of their PHS organizations at our 50th reunion in their 'then' uniforms, I challenge every one of the Lettermen to wear (and fit into) the Letterman jackets which they had in 1968! I was 185 lbs at graduation, getting up to 250 lbs 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with Stage I, Phase I Colo-Rectal Cancer, and then now down to 210 lbs!!! Shooting for 185 lbs by our reunion!!
...Other than attending the reunion, a great 18 month challenge to make positive steps with regards to your health so that we can then look forward to organizing our 60th and later reunions!!
LET'S ALL MAKE 2018 GREAT!!
