Kearny All Classes Picnic - The 2008 picnic
is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, October 5th. It
will be held on the east side of Mission Bay just South of the
Hilton Hotel. The Class of 53 will furnish food for members of
our class. Of course, you are welcome to bring a dish if you wish.
If you live out of town or decide to come at the last minute, you
won't have to worry about bringing food. You might also want to
bring your own chair and a small cooler with your favorite
beverage. (Remember San Diego now has a ban on alcoholic beverages
in the beach area.) Call Stan Elmore at
858 672 0461 if you have any
questions about the picnic.
