One More 60th Birthday Celebration

Because of the mix of '69 grads from four schools, not

to mention the live music by the Beat Boys and

an epic performance by the Calientes, the birthday

bash held on July 23rd was a tremendous success.

Coming up to culminate our 60th birthday celebration is

our Las Vegas bash in November.  For those of you who

signed up to attend, more information is forthcoming.

Everyone attending will enjoy, not only the casino games

of Las Vegas, but fun filled activities throughout the trip.

Some will be with our birthday partners from Kalani and

McKinley, but we will still have some "quiet" time

together, to properly reflect with some Tiger memories.
