Relaxing following the Prom

Dear All,

I don't have any pix from the reunion, I didn't take my camera. But lots of exciting things happened. I wanted to share with you one of the best things for me, which was on Saturday night after the "main event". Dave Hamilton and Sue Samara were in the hot tub, relaxing, being mellow, talking about old times. I saw them, and thought, what a great idea, I think I'll join them. This was about 1:00am Saturday night/Sunday morning. As I was walking back to the hot tub, I saw Tom Larson and John Gamber, and signaled across the lanai they should come, too. Before you know it, we had 20 people in a hot tub whose legal limit was 8 people! In addition to Dave, Sue, and I, there was Pat (Larson) Smith, Lynn (Lipman) Anderson, Tony Picini, Cayo Gamber, Brian Butler, George Drysdale, Liz Fisher, Lawrence Li, Ricky Velayo, Richie Guardian, Fred Gleeck, Tom Larson, Liz (Hamra) Shayestenpoor, John Gamber, two Filipinos whose names I don't remember, and two African-Americans who were at the hotel for a family reunion!! I wonder if I'm forgetting someone?!? Someone brought over an inflatable beach ball, and we attempted playing volleyball INSIDE THE HOT TUB with varying degrees of success. A crowd of tuxedoed friends joined in the fun, but they didn't get in the hot tub. Standing around laughing maniacally at the shenanigans were Richard Hiller, Borgie Nielsson Ingvarsdatter, Dan George ('66), Jon Onstot, Jeff Meyer, and Claire (DeMeyer) Marsh. Apparently we were singing a tad too loudly and getting a wee-bit too raucous perhaps, because at about 3:30am a security guard came out to tell us the pool and hot tub were closed. Naturally, nobody listened to him and we all continued doing what we were doing - laughing gregariously and carrying on like only AISAAM alums can do!! I finally packed it in and went back to my hotel room after 4:00am, I wonder what time the festivities ended???

Yor pren atsaka brad atsaka pare,

Jeff
