The Campo Class of 90 Reunion Committee got together again yesterday and we're one step closer to announcing some big details about our reunion weekend. Until we have those details, I thought I'd share a little of the conversations from yesterday gathering at Jessica (Nevin) O'Dea's house.
EARTHQUAKES
The topic of recent earthquakes around California and the Bay Area (I didn't feel a single one), had us reliving stories about where we were when the big one of 89' hit. It's probably one of the first events in life where you remember exactly where you were. Our parents remember where they were when they learned Kennedy was shot and for us Generation X'ers it's all about the 89' Earthquake and 9/11.
So do you remember where you were? And with whom?
MY STORY
J Epps and I were at my parents house, ironically looking through one of my sister's yearbooks and determining that nothing REALLY exciting had happened during our high school years. When all of the sudden the shaking started and then the rolling, and finally the realization....we better get out of here!
From there ensued a very dramatic homecoming week that included power outages, school closures, and phone lines down. We were glued to the whopping 12 channels on TV providing updates on rescues in the Marina and people trapped in the Bay Bridge destruction.
So where were you and what do you remember about that week? Anyone at the A's /Giants World Series? Share your story in the comments section!
And then, click over the official Reunion Site. at www.campo90.myevent.com. Find your Profile under the Classmates section and Upload a new pic today. My picture is looking sad out there by itself people. Then you can also go to Photo Albums and upload pics from you and your friends from high school days to share.
The countdown is on, get involved! Forward the link to a friend that may not know we started this mission.
Until next time, cheers!
