An "informal" coffee hour among friends

On Friday, July 8th, we had an informal coffee hour at Paula Wilcox Brunn's mother's house (easier to find than describe) just to get in some extra visiting before the reunion on Saturday.  We were so glad to see these folks:  Renee Russell Swanson, Leilani Waidelich Morrison, Nancy Lutterloh Burns, Debra Ruthford King, Paula Wilcox Brunn, Mary Bryant Martin, Judy Johnson.  Guests and photographers:  Pat Wilcox and Graham Carr.

Loggerodeo Parade Stars Class of 1971!!

Here we are at the Loggerodeo Parade on our "float"!  This is a flatbed trailer procured for us by Donna Flack Beland (thanks!) and decorated, hayed, and pulled by JB Bryson (thanks!).  This is a BIG TRADITION in Sedro-Woolley - classes having a reunion are expected to have a parade entry.  For major reunions this is de rigueur.  But any class can have a parade entry - that class of 1964 always seems to be in it!!

22 intrepid members of the Class of 71 turned out for the event:  JB Bryson, Sue Ann Butt Bryson, Susy Thompson Sanders, Shirley Hooper Knapp, Susan Parker Swetman, Donna Flack Beland, Joel Woiwod, Darlene Comstock Woiwod, Brad Warfield, Frank Handy, Sally Hendricks Tucker, Judy Johnson, Keith Sorestad, Mark Stendal, Bob Stiles, Dennis Talley, Jim Kallio, Debra Wagar Kallio, Paula Wilcox Brunn, Leilani Waidelich Morrison, Dale Huggins, and we picked up John Hunter en route!

Here are a few photos.  I'm expecting more...

Waiting for the parade to start!

Waving to all the people! 

This last photo is our view from the parade - of beautiful Hammer Heritage Square in downtown Sedro-Woolley!  At the intersection of Ferry and Metcalf.  Were you there?
