Saturday Night! Dinner at the Pueblo Country Club

As promised, we are taking a turn into Saturday night. We had a great dinner and fabulous time at the beautiful Pueblo Country Club. Everyone had fun table-hopping, and thanks to Joe Klune, he once again managed to capture many excellent pictures of that wonderful evening.

Below, Reunion Committee members Crete Crawford Wood, Nancy Carhart Pope and Gale Hoover Hammond greeted guests as they arrived.

Mary Ann Caporicci Davis was there from LaJunta and Judy Zobec Felhaur came from Colorado Springs. On the right is Danny Daurio who lives in Pueblo.

That's Reunion Committee member Les Robinson pausing for a picture with Mike Downs and his wife, Ann, who were in Pueblo for the reunion all the way from Acworth, Georgia. Mike and his wife donated the wonderful architect's rendering of Central from 1905 that he found at his father's home and generously donated to the Central museum. If you missed this priceless piece, you can find it posted on this blog on the October 6 entry.

Arizona's blonde beauties - that's Kathy Brown Putman from Surprise, Arizona and Cherie Ludlow Chapparo in town from Mesa, Arizona.

Mike Healy (from Florence) and Elaine Gilbert Bateman (from Littleton) seem to be in a serious tête-à-tête!

Aliene Montoya, the widow of our friend Dwight (Dooner) Montoya came to dinner and is enjoying a laugh with Bill and Cherie Ludlow Chapparo.

Tim Trujillo, Kathy Brown Putman, Robert Holland and Meredith Boyer catching up (Tim and Kathy apparently did not get the memo about the cool, salmon-colored attire that made Robert and Meredith both knock-outs on Saturday night in the fashionable clothing department!) Love that hat, Meredith!

Charlie Tappero, Jim Wallace and Linda Wicken Delone...well, something sure was funny - wonder what that conversation was about...

It was good to see Robert Welborn and his pretty wife, Donna, on Saturday night.

More happy faces...Tim Trujillo gets a laugh (on the right) while Richard Sell and Nancy Ward Weldon chat.

Richard Sell and Nancy Ward Weldon turn on their dazzling smiles for the camera.

And there they are...Joe's pictures of Saturday night. What a fun time we had! Wherever you looked, people were conversing, hugging, and laughing. We have a very special connection to our former classmates and it's great knowing that regardless of the amount of years or the number of miles that separate us, we all feel like we're coming home again when we all meet.

Until next time when you will catch a glimpse of the Sunday get-together at our alma mater, take good care - - and GO WILDCATS!
