Doug Dreggors is back from M.D. Anderson and looking good. Jim and Connie Wallner also joined us.

That must have been a really good joke that Allegra heard - or maybe told!

I don't know what this gang has been up to, but I never saw so many guilty looks in one picture in my life!

The whole gang's here!

And from the other end, ...

In May, Angie and I grabbed the opportunity to go on a month's cruise with some old friends we hadn't seen in a while. Jim and Connie Wallner were kind enough to send out the reminder for the luncheon and to take some pictures also. It looks like I missed seeing Stacy Alford and Jose Canales who haven't been by for a long time!

Hold Still, this won't hurt a bit!

Casey uses Jim Wallner for a desk as he writes out the check.

I guess my camera must have been feeling the after errects of being sick like myself! Things are a little fuzzy, but we had a good time in spite of it. It was surely good to see everybody again after missing last month's luncheon.

And on the other side of the table, ....

L-R: Harold Shiroma, Jim Rushing, Connie and Jim Wallner.

Happy looking bunch!

Carol George took time out from her ziplining to join us, Keith Wagner put in his first appearance in a long, long time, and Dennis brought Joyce back. The Wallners were just back from a trip to Southeast Texas and it looks like it agreed with them!

L-R: Keith Wagner, Carol George, Dennis and Joyce Kaplan, Connie and Jim Wallner.

Carol is showing off her Tai Chi shirt, Keith Wagner was here for the first time in ages, and Dennis brought Joyce for a change.

We've got to treat John really nice as he's about the only one here still working at Alcatel, and paying INTO Social Security!

L-R: Connie Wallner, Carol George and her niece whose name I missed, Larry Pavlicek, and George Huling.

Carol apologized for not wearing her Tai Chi Teeshirt again, but brought her niece along to make up for it.

Lots of folks and lots of fun! Pretty much the whole gang less Jim Wallner and myself.

A bit of a chilly day for early November, but we had a fairly good turnout, almost a dozen! It was nice to see Emelio Martinez back after a long absence.

L-R: Marvin Howard, Emelio Martinez, and Carol George

Now this bunch looks really happy to be in out of the cold!

L-R: Harold Shiroma, Jim Rushing, Connie and Jim Wallner.

The usual suspects! Despite the weather, everybody seemed to be in a good mood.

L-R: George Huling, Dennis Kaplan, Connie and Jim Wallner, and Marvin Howard

Hmm, these folks look like they've been good and are expecting good things from Santa!
