 “SURPRISE” 50^th at SUMMER WIND

SUMMER WIND aka MERRY MARRIEDS,aka BLACK HOLE’s Jen & Neal, Cindy & Steve, taking advantage of the absence of their children, had a classy 50^th BD for friend Paul, who is friends with Neal & bro Bruce, Stan, Norman & Chef Barry from ‘62 in the mountains, and their wives, Hope, Cindy, Meryl, Helene, joined F.I. friends for 25 years: Debbie & Eddie, and ‘Kismet perks” Dawn & Gary, Chris & Barry. Neighbor XANADUs added to the merriment. Chef Barry created original drinks from their top shelf bar every 15 minutes in addition to the OUT catered buffet. Bravi! (Jen finally got an email address and all her messages were from Lord & Taylor)

WHITE BEACH PARTY ON A WHITE BEACH

 

A PAC PRODUCTION – PETER, ARTHUR, CHARLIE

It was rained out for two weeks so we just went with it

“White Beach - it’s a 30 year old health drink – if you’re on Lipitor take two, if you’re a diabetic the game’s over!”

 

Los quatros amigos

Then I used my new racket….

 

Ah! How sweet – almost upstaged him with her hair

 

 

Fast Freddie still looking good

 

Why, its Mommy Darryl with 3 month old Hunter!

His White Beach comes in a bottle

Someone should tell the photog to get out of the way

Oh! That’s better

 

Jolly Good, nice safari!

He always dresses like that

 

 

Svelt Phylis on “Maintenance diet” no food, just drinks

SOUL TRAIN AT THE OUT

 

"The Out really OUT-did itself with their Saturday night Soul Train Party.  The place was transformed back 30 years to look like the TV show "Soul Train."  Many people were shuffling to the Soul Train beat with their fro's, platform shoes, bell bottoms, Polyester outfits, and hair picks.  The Out staff decorated the place and wore attire appropriate to the theme made a great party to be had by all."
