We didn't have the large turn-out of the class of '53 this year that we had last year as many people decided to attend the 50th reunion in April instead, but the Class of '51 which hosted this year's event made up for our lack of numbers. Some people who had planned to attend stayed home because the weather decided to refute the song "It Never Rains In California" by staging a first class rain storm. I had never driven in such a downpour, and I was very happy to get home safe, though soggy.

Most of the pictures were taken by Donna Butler. If you see a too-dark picture or people with half of their heads gone, that's my specialty. (I prefer to think of my photographic approach as "artistic".)

I am looking for information on Ken Uyemori who was at this Pow Wow. When I saw him talking to Don Kraemer and Jake Boyd, I didn't realize he graduated in '53, and I failed to get his address, phone number or e-mail address for our database. I don't know if he was contacted about the 50th reunion. The Pow Wow committee has no info on him.
