Our class reunion (October 16-18 weekend) just happens to hit in the middle of this craziness. Scarecrow days started a few years ago and has really caught on in the Fallbrook and Bonsall areas. It is something more to see in your wanderings around town!
July 13, 2015
Colorado Classmates Ed Roe, Danny McCullough, Dona (Woodrey) Bolton & Curtis Emge gathered for a mini-reunion in the Denver area. Mike & Linda (Love) Leborgne were unable to attend.
Currently all, except Curtis, are planning on being in Fallbrook for the 50th Reunion this October. Curtis says he will be in the middle of a construction project.
If you haven’t sent in your registration, get moving. Some are making major travel arrangements to be here, if you’re still in the Southwest and driving it’s not too much of a challenge (except for the California gas prices). All of the registration information is on the class website (linked in the blog menu).
It’s already June — Just a reminder that the registration fee for our reunion will jump up ten dollars per person on the first of July. That’s a hint – register now and save a few bucks.
Your reunion committee met recently at Pala Mesa Resort, we are starting to iron out the details necessary for our 50th reunion. It takes a lot of little things coming together at the same time to make this happen.
We want to thank those of you that have been able to contribute a little extra towards this event. If you have not sent your reservation forms in yet (!!!!) please don’t skip over that extra contribution line.
The registration forms for the Reunion Reservation and the BBQ are on the class website. Remember also, to visit the Fallbrook Alumni Association website to learn what they are doing for the students at FUHS – we do recommend that you join the Fallbrook alumni Association.
The class website has been fixed so it should now be much easier to view on your various devices.
Jim & George met at the Vintage Car Show that was held at Pala Mesa Resort, it really showed us that Pala Mesa Resort can handle an event. They had nearly 450 entry vehicles and probably 10 times that number in visitors attending the show.
Jim’s been at it again with a new list:

The calendar just keeps marching on towards our 50th Reunion (October 16-18). The registration forms are now available, on our website.
April means AVOCADO FESTIVAL in Fallbrook on the 19th. Imagine Fallbrook with 60K of visitors, in the streets downtown!!!
The Fallbrook Vintage Car Club is having their 50th Car Show on May 24th, the featured cars will be THE BEST OF 1965 – they have also chosen Pala Mesa Resort for their 50th event.
We have made our initial deposit to Pala Mesa Resort, and that has pretty much depleted our account – If you can make an extra contribution to our 50th Reunion to help us make this a great event, it would be greatly appreciated (see our website for contribution information)

If your waiting to find out who is coming or not, here is Jim’s latest tally: Continue reading It’s APRIL !!!
Time is flying by, we are now only 7-months out from our reunion in October.
Jim Price (our fearless leader) has been tireless in assembling data lists to get in touch with our classmates. (the newest lists have been posted). He and Joan are currently taking a break, off looking at one of the world’s largest collections of 1950’s cars, I’m sure he will have quite a tale when you meet him at the reunion in October.
Early in April we will be having our committee meeting at the Pala Mesa Resort, to get an overview of the layout and what we will have available for the reunion in October. And we will be posting the Registration Forms.
If you can contribute a little extra to the reunion fund, it would help us greatly, click on the “CONTRIBUTE $” tab at the bottom of our website and follow the directions. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to those who have already donated some.
Unfortunately, our Memoriam List just keeps getting longer – we heard of more just recently.
We still have about 100 classmates that either have dropped off the face of the earth or never learned how to communicate back to us. If you know the whereabouts of those on the missing list, please help us out.
