The 2008 Reunion is in full swing in Louisville!
Louisville at night...        


Sunday

First to arrive seemed to be Mike and Helen Eggleston, Andy and Carol Elnicki, Dick Fiske, Sam and Merry Hornreich, John and Patti Lynn, Ann and Mac McConnell along with, Barb and John Mosticone. Now THAT will sure get the hospitality suite sorted out and outfitted.   With quite a few driving some distance to get there, should be some sound sleepers tonight.

Word came through that Nishan Derderian fell and broke his shoulder just before leaving for the reunion... his laughs and stories will be missed.

 You know it's all serious when the guys get together...
Mac, Dick (Sir Richard, the Lion Farted) and John.
 

With everyone gathered and hungry, I guess the sign is appropriate... time to put on the feed bag...
We ate at a place called "Mark's Feed Store" in Louisville.  GREAT FOOD...we ALL indulged...


Mike Eggleston, Dick Fiske, John and Barb Mosticone, Carol and Andy Elnicki,
John Huszai, Anne and Mac McConnell, John Lynn and Helen Eggleston. 
 

Mike Eggleston, Dick Fiske, John and Barb Mosticone, Carol and Andy Elnicki,
John Huszai, Anne and Mac McConnell, Patti and John Lynn and Helen Eggleston. 
 

Andy has been crowned.   Is that for the best bull...|
Nah... they celebrated his birthday... with song too.
 

John appreciates while Anne throws a big hug on her "Mac"...
Mac finally picked up the tab for the two?
Nah... he's pretty good to the sweet woman.
 

Monday

What a fine looking bunch... how the heck did THEY sneak in?
Daryl brought his kids for the day...
Daryl Beiter with Mary, Michael, and Elizabeth.
 

Darn... they almost look ... normal... what are they up to ???
And Murphy showed up !!
 

Mac must have way-laid another unsuspecting Bergall sailor...
or three possible young associates?
 

Dick and John taking a moment...
 

John Huszai... it took quite a bit to get free and be able to attend,
but by golly, he looks like he's having fun.
 

Now you  know THESE folks aren't up to trouble...
Helen, Barb, Patti, Mike, Carol and Anne...
Probably minutes before their "plan" is hatched.
 

Andy, Dick and Daryl.
 

Carol, Barb, Andy and Anne hold down a bench as the building loom in around them...
 

Now THIS looks like a fun spot to hit later on...
 

And the Valero crew showed up, here's Robert, Cheryl and Trudy. Warren's bound to be close by.
 

Along with Lynda and Marvin Anderson.
 

Time again for dinner and this time it's at a "ristorante" known as "Buca di Beppo".


Abe Kern is looking great!


Marv and Lynda catch a story from...


John and Mike catch the camera!


John and Barb seem to always have fun, Helen looks like she needs some!


A more motley crew would not be half as fun!
Mac and Anne McConnell, Merry Hornreich, Pat Murphy, Barb Mosticone, Helen Eggelston, Andy Elnicki and Abe Kern...
Dick Fiske, Carol Elnicki, John Huszai, Mike Eggleston, Marv and Lynda Anderson, Sam Hornreich, Patti and John Lynn.


Mac and John take a moment to ponder... (Gina?)




We were stuffed enough to be put on the spit and roasted.  The food was outstanding...and so was dessert...
just ask Ann, Barb & Merry... they had Tiramisu...a "large bowl" and it was a VERY large bowl, while
Patti was proud of "just" had a plain pint of Chocolate Gellato.

We were all fat and sassy and relaxing and Mike Eggleston said, "We all look like we are candidates for the geriatric ward at the VA." 
If they feed ya this good, hmmm
