Baymonte Class of 1974 Reunion

Last Saturday, August 2nd, I attended the 40th reunion of my high school graduating class. We had an amazing time together. Some of the people who attended I had not seen since graduation over 40 years ago. Others, I had seen at funerals (this was a much better way to see each other) and other events like that. We had over half of our very small class of 21 graduates show up, including a few who were classmates but graduated from other schools. The reunion included hiking and a picnic lunch (pictured) at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, a tour of Baymonte, and a dinner at the Central Street grill. It was so good to see everyone and it was good to realize how much positive impact Baymonte had on all of us.
