Hello fellow classmates,

This is a reminder that we will be celebrating with our annual class-potluck picnic at Park Peterson's family home in Lake Forest Park, Washington. Many thanks to the Peterson family and to nephew Bryce for allowing us to picnic there all these many years. We have space, shade, plenty of parking and even a port-a-potty.

We would love it if you come early and help us set up, (11:00) We need helpers to set up tables and chairs, tape down tablecloths, set up liquid refreshment, put ice under salads, set out silverware, plates etc., and help with the hamburger and hot dog corner. Working together is lovely and a way to get to interact with classmates. 

We ask that you bring to the pot luck a main dish or salad of sorts. Our special desert chef, Jan Pelroy, will surprise us with a couple of his fabulous creations. We will also provide plates and utensils, hamburgers, hot dogs and condiments, lemonade, water and ice.

You can contact me, Ruth 'Mickie' Fitz-Gundersen at: michelleg18@frontier.com or call me at 425-218-9847. I won't recognize your phone number and won't answer, so please leave your name and phone number with your message and I will call you back. You can also contact any of the folks below.

Can you help out by calling a few people? We have addresses and information for 117 classmates. We know it's not all current. Maybe you have information about friends you can share. Also, we can set you up with a short list. to call if you like. It's fun to reconnect.

I am looking forward to seeing you. To find me look for the little old lady with the gray curly hair. I wear glasses with sunglasses on top, and will probably be wearing wooden clogs. Please fill out a name tag and don't mind me if my eyes glance down to it right away and again.

Hugs to you!   Ruth 'Mickie' Gundersen (Fitz) Picnic committee member and new class treasurer.
