Gotta Go Group!

 

Memoirs from Birthday Boy and Chairman Bill Hunt

 

On Thursday February 12th, 2004 the “Gotta Go Group” met at Rev. Pat Farris’s Methodist garage and at 9:00 a.m. sharp boarded a Big Blue Bus.  Soon we were in the town of Ventura at the Channel Island Ranger Station.  We visited the ships, ate lunch and jumped on our bus heading for the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. 

We were met by the Director Duke Blackwood and were soon on a behind the scenes tour of President and Nancy Reagan’s private office and dinning room.  We then attended the regular tour. We also saw President Reagan’s “Air Force One” being readied for display.  Unfortunately the day went quickly, and we needed more time to see the entire very special place. 

Along for the laughing and scratching were Vivian Spurgin and her guest Donna Betts, Margaret Pallock, Mary Ishizuka, Phyllis Morrison, June Doy, Anne and Dave Rimer, Dolores and Bill Fritzsche, Virginia and  Jim Reidy, Ruth and Dick Rice, Bob Moore, Jane Whiting and daughter Kathy, Mary Ellen and Joe Gonzales and their guest Jessica and Mike Kraft, Spyros Dellaportas, and Bill Hunt. 

See you in April for the Arboretum and Santa Anita.
