30 YEAR CLASS REUNION

Heather, Kim, David, and I made a trip back to Paradise, CA to our 30th Class Reunion. We enjoyed visiting the sights of home (La Comida, Italian Cottage--the important stuff). We visited Paradise High School, Paradise Lake, our home, went to church at the 3rd Ward Building, but visited the 1st Ward Building.

Our Reunion was great! It was my first one, so to see the amazing people who I haven't seen for 30 years was wonderful. I loved hearing what they had done with their lives, who they have married, where they live, etc. I am so glad we wore name tags because at first some of these people were strangers to me.  Once we got talking, it all came back and they were very familiar.

The organizers did a great job and chose a great venue. The food was perfect, and it was all very casual--just my style.

We stayed at the Parrotts and were very comfortable.  We appreciated their hopsitality.

I hope to go to another reunion in 5 or 10 more years.

After the reunion, we stayed at Uncle Lowell and Aunt Anne's and had a Hagberg Family dinner at Uncle Earl and Aunt Gay's house. We saw Gretchen and her family and Aunt Debbie and her family.

Then we spent a fun day in San Francisco before heading home.
