Beetle, Hummingbird, and Annual Reunion

 Click Beetle....

never seen one and 

had NO CLUE what

it was but my friends

on FB came to the aid 

of enlightening me. 

I was told if  you touch

it, it will click. 

Check out the hidden

lizard, under the 

leave!!

Hanging in the backyard

the other day with the camera..

Got some pretty good

shots of my hummingbirds.

So beautiful and

fast..

Saturday night I attended

the DuPont Alumni

annual reunion.

The DuPont (my high school)

Alumni Association was

started in 1978 (the 

yr I graduated). Cards are sent

out for a 15 buck fee to 

alumni. This fee along with

money raised during an annual

golf day and other stuff 

goes to scholarships.

Award winning scholarships

go to children, grand children 

and great grand children

of past alumni. 

I must rephrase that last

statement, basically goes

to grand children and 

great grands, since

 the alumni don't have

young kids anymore. 

You see, the senior high

closed its doors in June

1986. 

The annual reunion is

to honor the students

with the scholarships.

My brother and sis in law,

Kim. My brother normally does

not go to these things, he did

not even go to his reunion that

I went to cause I shot it.

Matter of fact I have shot

this event several times.

Anyway, this is my brother in 

the peach talking with his

wood working teacher,

Mr. English.

Mark (brother) is an amazing

wood craftsman so I personally

love this shot of the two of 

them together.

Tables were set up according 

to classes that were

attending.

There were several tables 

of 50s. There was one woman

from 47 but she set at the 50s table.

The 60's.

Of course, the 70's!

and the 80s.

During the annual 

reunion, there are special 

alumni that are 

also inducted into 

the DuPont

Hall of Fame.

James McAlister 

donated his trophy 

to the alumni room at 

the old school.

Past alumni was

also honored.

Great night. Great food.

Great event and 

great visiting with 

friends.

With all that said,

it was discussed among

some of us from

1978 that with the passing

of so many class members

we might just need 

a reunion for 45

yrs.  We have a yr 

to plan. 

Speaking on loss....

since the last reunion 

in July of 2018

we have lost 

eight class members,

and two others that 

same yr before the 

reunion.
