Nevada City High School Class of 1946 Reunion

(Wednesday September 19, 2012)

 

t's a beautiful afternoon for a special luncheon with old acquaintances at Trolley Junction. It's the 66th reunion for my sister Virginia's Nevada City High School class...but we grew up and went to school with them too, so we love getting together with them. Sam Pello opened the gathering with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by Rev. Peter Yuen with a prayer. Dick Davies welcomed us and got us started with whatever....Once more we share old memories....and today, our grammar school teacher Mrs. Warneke had the spotlight. She was strict, but we all remember her as being an exceptional teacher.

Those class members able to attend are: Back row (L-R)...Rev. Peter Yuen, Don Ellis, Dick Davies, Sam Pello, Ronnie Shaw, Denny Smith. Front (L-R)...Barbara (Garesio) Browning, Joyce (Arbogast) Bauman, Ole Ronnigen, Beverly (Scholefield) Kilroy and Leona (Lotz) Riddle.

After catching up over a delicious luncheon, Rev. Yuen said the benediction and we all sang "God Bless America." Then we all went out to the back deck by the stairs for a photo of everybody. Thank you so much Dick and Eileen for always getting everyone together for this very special occasion.

Grandpa Tell Me 'bout the Good Old Days

(The Judds song by Jamie O'Hara)

 Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
 Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
 And Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
 When the line between right and wrong
 Didn't seem so hazy
 
 Did lovers really fall in love to stay
 And stand beside each other, come what may?
 Was a promise really something people kept
 Not just something they would say?
 Did families really bow their heads to pray
 Did daddies really never go away?
 Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

 
 Grandpa, everything is changing fast
 We call it progress, but I just don't know
 And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past
 And paint me the picture of long ago
 
 Did lovers really fall in love to stay
 And stand beside each other, come what may?
 Was a promise really something people kept
 Not just something they would say, and forget
 Did families really bow their heads to pray
 Did daddies really never go away?
 Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
 Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
