BIG THANKS to Gary & Sharon Schonert for sponsoring their Annual Picnic at their home.

They put out a great spread for lunch: Roast Beef, Sloppy Joes, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Taco Salad, Veggie Tray, Fruit Tray - Two Dessert Trays, Plus Coffee, Choice of Coke/Diet Coke, Pepsi./ Diet Pepsi, Root Beer & Water - In addition, Brenda White's Retirement cake arrived.


• Jeff Pulda led the gang in an "Our Father" prayer in memory of Dick Peterson.


Jeff then led the group in a prayer for the meal.....and thanked the Schonerts.

Gary still does not know the words to the meal prayer and again lip-synced along!!


Great Hosts - Gary & Sharon Schonert '59 H


• A Beautiful Banner Greeted the Guests....and Gary dedicated the Picnic in honor of our good friend Dick Peterson.


The rain was not a deterrent - the gang adjusted and settled in the garage or in the house for lunch. The Schonerts were prepared for the change in venue.

Brenda White with her Retirement Cake.

Originally, It was scheduled to be delivered to the Alumni House for Brenda's Retirement Celebration on Monday July 24th - inadvertently, it was sent to the O&H Store on Durand Ave and never made it to the Alumni House. O&H provided a fresh new cake for today's Picnic at no cost.
