On Feb. 17th, several of the classmates of the Class of '57,
were in Florida, and we got together, for a little fun.

This group included:

Several met at Joan's house, and we were all transported to a restaurant ( Spinners ) located on St. Pete. Beach.

We ate lunch, at the top of the hotel, which rotated a complete circle about every hour and a half, which allowed us to see a beautiful view of St. Pete. Beach.

Phyl and Ron were at the table waiting for our arrival, since we were running late.

After lunch, a group of us were transported back to Joan's house, and we had dessert, which included a "Class of '57" cake.

Ron and Phyl drove from the restaurant, met us at our house, and joined us for dessert.

From there, we said our "Good-Byes", and "Until we meet again", which we hope will be soon at our 54th reunion, in Weedsport, in June.


We have more photos!!

Seventh (Bottom) row:

25. Carl - Elvis: "Thanks for talking with me!"

26. Winding it up ----- At table: Phyl, Helen, Mel and Carl. With the driveway still blocked, I couldn't get out, so Denny borrowed Helen and Mel's car, to take me to the vet's, to pick up Rascal. Thanks, Denny!

 

And again ----- MANY THANKS TO LORNA, for sharing the above photos with us all.

Hope we meet again this summer.

Thanks for joining the little group we could gather together, down here in Florida, this year.

It is ALWAYS good to see our precious "Family of '57".
