The Picnic at the Wilson Campus
|
|
| BRUCE WRIDE BY THE WELCOME SIGN |
How lucky we are to have one of our
own classmates, Steve Wille, on the faculty of Wilson. He helped us so much with our 40th reunion in 2003, and
came through again in 2008.
Not only was he instrumental
in helping to establish the Legacy Award, but he was a point of contact for those who worked on the picnic--helping to
arrange early entrance to the campus, assisting in planning for tables, chairs, easels, etc.
Steve worked closely with the awesome Wilson
Activities Director, Erin Fekjar, to arrange for the pepsters' performance, the tour of the school, and on and on and
on.
A big Bruin
Thanks to both Steve and Erin!
Early
on in the year leading up to the reunion, Barbara Duski Fernandez accepted the responsibility for coordinating the
picnic with both the school and her fellow volunteers. Their hard work paid off--they made it look easy. Barbara says: "Many thanks to Lee Faries Ostendorf for supplying the needed tables and chairs,
and for all who pitched in and helped - Donna Combs Dominguez, Gary Reid, Robin and David Sprang, Nick
Sherbin and, of course, Steve Wille.
The picnic offered the opportunity to see some classmates
we had not seen for 45 years. The tour brought back so many memories. We had lockers ... now a thing of the past.
Looking back, we see how fortunate we were to have lived our school years during the best of times." Barbara

"The weather was really nice. Our crew of volunteers had a lot of setting up to do, but we pitched
in and everything turned out well. I was particularly glad to see such a good turnout of people ... for some, it was the only
event they attended. For others, it was a great warmup for Saturday night.
We sure appreciated those who stuck
around for the cleanup - as we all were pretty tired and wanting to save our energy for the evening
to come! " --Donna Combs Dominguez
