California, here we come! Main purpose of trip was to attend my 50th high school reunion which was rescheduled from 2020. We called it the 50+ 1 reunion. We went to the main event on Saturday, September 25, Paul's birthday at Balboa Yatch Club in Newport Beach. It was a fun event and the organized committee did a very nice job. There were about 60+ classmates and 30+ of their spouses and significant others. Good to see old friends gathering at the 50+1 reunion.

After LCHS reunion, we were excited to drive North from Los Angeles to meet up with Bill, Candy and Mickey in Bishop. It's a "long overdue" reunion for the three JKL childhood friends: Mickey, Bill and Paul. Bill and Candy were gracious hosts in their beautiful, cozy home in Bishop. They were great tour guides for us to visit the Sierra highlights . It's wonderful to see Bill, Candy and Mickey again. We all had a great time!
