Farewell Fred Ganders

Fred passed on May 14th, 2025.  His wife, Helen, let us know and shared several photos of Fred over the years.  Dr. Ganders held a Ph.D. in Botany from University of California, Berkley.  He was a professor of Botany at the University of British Columbia, BC.  See the In Memory page comments for a writeup on his life, and see his profile for pictures from Helen.

Year 61 at the 2121

August 22, 2024

Once again, the Class of 63 was out in force. We met at the 2121 Pub for a few hours of talking, and sharing.  There were nearly 35 of us old-timers and and another dozen guests. There were some first-timers, and a bunch of old-faithfuls. Thanks to all who came for talking, eating, talking, laughing, talking, eating, reminiscing, and maybe tossing back a drink or two. It's a great way to keep in touch between our big gatherings. Other photos under the Class Reunions tab, under 2121 Gatherings. *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *

55 YEARS??  -- IT'S HAPPENED

SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2018

On Saturday, September 8th, 86 of us gathered to celebrate our 55th year since graduation.  There were 54 classmates and 32 guests.  During the night several people referred to us as survivors.  We met at the Emerald Queen Casino Ballroom and Conference Center in Fife. The buffet and dessert table were plentiful and delicious.  If there was supposed to be light background 50s and 60s music playing, it would never have been heard over the talking and laughter. 

See pictures from the event.  Click on the "Class Reunion Photos" tab on the left column, and select the "55th-Year Reunion".

Thanks to all who came and made this a fun event.  Think about 2023 for the 60th (yikes).

Keep your address and other contact info up-to-date, so we can keep in touch.  See ya in August 2019 at the 2121.
