      Nevada City High School Class of 1946 
      68th Reunion 
      (Wednesday September 17, 2014) 
        
      
        Today we're getting together 
        for lunch with the class of '46 at Christopher's on Main Street Grass Valley. 
        This is my sister Virginia's class. Mel's the class 
        of 45 but we all went to school together in Nevada City and it's fun to 
        get together. Beverly Kilroy did a wonderful job of planning as always. 
        Bless her heart. 
       
      
        
      
        
      
        
      
        
      
        
      
        From left...Sam, Mel, Bonnie and sister Kathy, 
        Eileen and daughter, and Don. During our conversation, Don Ellis 
        mentioned the terrible destruction when Sam Pello served in Korea. He'd 
        given us the picture below at another reunion. Anyway, today he said 
        that when he went back to Korea a citizen thanked him....the first time 
        that ever happened. The country had been miraculously rebuilt with 
        America's help.

        The luncheon was delicious, and the get together

        and miss those who either couldn't make it, or are no longer with us. 
        Beverly, thank you so much for all your work planning everything. Take 
        care everybody, and hopefully we'll see you at the next one.
