I was looking forward to the luncheon and planning to attend. However, I have come down with a cold and do not want to share it with everyone. So I will see you next month.

Walter Huebner

Am planning to attend the lunch on April 29th.

Robyn (Jane) Cholerton

I hope to be there.

A full table of classmates were already seated when I arrived...early by my standards, but not early enough! George and Tooey Boyden, Steve Brooks, Sandy Stewart Smallwood, Connie Pecha Welty, John Criswell, Sue Suknot (our newest lunch member), and Neal Kloepfer.  Shortly thereafter, Bonnie Krueger Kelly, Lynn Brosman Romero, Susie Strong Neuschwanger, Rhonda Beauchamp Blech, and Walter Huebner joined me at the other round table.  I mention round tables because some wanted to join the tables, some wanted the visually long single rectangle, but we all found the arrangements filled our desire for closeness, good conversation, and laughter.  And mingling was easier!  I love the friendship factor of our class!  In fact, Rhonda is going to post about a class trip many might like to consider.

We are planning our next luncheon MAY 20th, a Monday at 1:00.  Where that will be is undecided!  Now is your chance to suggest your favorite place.  We all enjoyed the marvelously varied menu at Dave’s Valley Grill, a new place for us.  We missed those regulars who had schedule interruptions, but hope many more will come this month!

Our May birthday lunch is going to be at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse at Winrock, 2100 Louisiana NE.  Robyn suggested it since it has such a varied menu.  We will meet for lunch at 1:00, next Monday, May 20.  Please let us know so we can reserve space.

What a robust group we were, celebrating May birthdays at BJ's Brewery! From my observations, there were no awkward pauses in the conversations and laughter! Those we don't often see were Merl and Kati Schafer (who scheduled their trip to be here with us!), Jim Bob Payne, and Don Rood!  Those now considered regulars were Andy Paquet, Neal Kloepfer, Steve Brooks, Sandy Stewart Smallwood, George and Tooey Boyden, Jerry Goffe, John Criswell, Betty Myers Schaeffer, Susan Myers Puckett, Connie Pecha Welty, Bonnie Kruger Kelly, Sue Suknot, Helen Stambaugh Williams, Susie Strong Neuschwanger, Rhonda Beauchamp Blech, Sandy Bryan (Robyn's friend and frequent attendee) and Marty Glantz Farmer.  Gail Stark, we hope there will be nothing stopping you next month!  

Almost everyone enjoyed their lunches, but we want to find a new place to party!  If you know such a place, see if they can accommodate 25 people, and let me know!  The new La Salita location is a possibility for next month. And past conversations included taking food from El Modelo to a park on one of our summer month outings.  Sounds like an intriguing change!  The June date will be Monday, the 24th. Until then, enjoy the rest of the merry, merry month of May!
