FUHS 1965 ….. WeWa Sez

Here are the arrangements:

 Saturday Oct. 15^th:

2 p.m. – a tour of the Fallbrook High School campus.  Several of you suggested this last year.  So now, thanks to our Reunion committee member, Scott Atkins, and the good folks in the front office of Fallbrook High, we will have a guided tour around campus.  We’ll try to get some maps made in advance that will show which buildings were there when we were on campus in the early 1960s – in case any of us have forgotten!

4 to 8 p.m. or so – Peggy (Drew) & Don Durling have again graciously offered to open their home to the class for a reception – drinks and an informal dinner.  We’ll charge a nominal fee to cover expenses.

Sunday Oct. 16^th

 Noon – FUHS Alumni Annual BBQ picnic at Live Oak Park – early arrivals can “claim” a couple of tables for us class of ’65 folks.  The cost will be $15 as it was last year, or BYO picnic.  Picnic/BBQ Registration Form

Hopefully many of you can attend this mini-Reunion, especially those who weren’t able to attend our 50th Reunion last year.

IF you’re coming, please let me know as soon as you know.  In any case, we’ll need a “head count” for food and beverage orders by Oct. 1st.   Contact Jim Price

My friend Scott Atkins (FUHS 1965) received some very impressive documents on behalf of the Fallbrook Historical Society.  See the complete story and photos in The Village News.

For other Fallbrook history stories, see what Jack Story has penned.

Rarely seen by the public, “The Fallbrook Story” (1952) is a short subject film that told the story of a water rights battle between the citizens of the Fallbrook, California area and the federal government. It was produced (without credit) by Frank Capra, and uses many of the techniques he utilized in his famous series of WWII-era propaganda films including the “Why We Fight” series.

Enjoy the scenes of early 1950’s Fallbrook.

Last years show was terrific.  WeWa is going again and hopes to see you there also.  This year promises to have easier access to the parking areas, and special entertainment by THE BEATLES, THE BEACH BOYS, and THE EAGLES!   Last year we only had THE BEATLES.

See the flyer for more information about the Vintage Car Show on May 29, 2016 at Pala Mesa Resort.

Here are a few things WeWa saw at the car show!

The Village News this week published a photo story about the Marching Warriors trip to London for the New Years Parade.

See the earlier post about WeWa in London to find link to YouTube video.

Phil invited us to come and see his facility, if you’re not in the area you can take a virtual tour on his website, stay tuned to see who make this trip to see WeWa!

Small post-reunion group of 1965 classmates, met at Cafe Des Artistes in Fallbrook (building that used to be Harrison’s Rexall Pharmacy) on Jan. 16th.  Classmates:  Peggy Drew Durling + Don, Carol Qualls Seely + Phil, Shirley Lee, Phil Thearle, Jim Price + Joan Sieber, George Ward, Lowell Bardwell + Donna, Ron Bojorquez + Diana, Elizabeth Anthony; plus photographer Bill Ahrend.  Nice experience!   See more photos on our Shutterfly account.

The Class of ’65 Reunion Committee will be meeting for lunch on Saturday, January 16^th about Noon at Café des Artistes in Fallbrook.  This building used to be Harrison’s Pharmacy – at the corner of Main and Alvarado.  Classmates and friends are invited.

So far we expect classmates Peggy (Drew) Durling, Jim Price, George Ward, Scott Atkins, Trish Yzerman, Shirley Lee, Carol Qualls, and Ron Bojorquez.  Hopefully many of you can attend.

Important:  if you DO plan to come, let Jim know, and also call Michael, the restaurant owner at 760-728-3350, and let him know you’ll be joining the group.  The reservation was made by Peggy (Drew) Durling.  Cut off date is Jan. 13^th.

If you can attend this lunch group and you ordered a Reunion Book, I’ll bring your book that day.  Otherwise, I’ll mail it to you.

Happy New Year!  —Jim
