Well, o.k., we kind of made up the name of this get-together after it was planned, but it IS a good idea, don't you think? This lunch just kind of 'happened' -- as it were, Jackie Patsche Campen, and I discovered that we would both be in south FL at the same time and decided to get together. From there, we got the bright idea of seeing if anyone else from the class would be able to come as well. At one point we had over a dozen that had planned/hoped to come, but for one reason or another, most had to cancel.
Still, the 6 of us who got together at Joseph's Wine Bar & Cafe in Delray Beach had a lively time - we stayed for hours! In attendance were Jackie Patsche Campen and her husband Selden, and Nancy Bradley Tolk and her husband Verlin. From the class of 1967 we had Mike Condio -- (thanks to Nancy Brady Hill, who remembered that he lived close by and contacted him about the lunch). For any of you who went to Park Terrace Jr High, you will remember Mr. Condio, our principal. Mike brought his dad - Principal Condio - who just last year moved to Florida from PA. Principal Condio is as lively and fiesty as ever. Fortunately we all behaved ourselves and he did not need to bring out the Paddle!!
Next year we hope to do this again -- but we'll plan it on a weekend, and give more notice so that more people will have an opportunity to come. Actually, I think it is a good reason for all us 'cold weather' classmates to plan a trip to FL, don't you?!
As promised -- some pictures of our day --
