...and then there was Tom Parente

We had a surprise sighting at our October DEAR lunch- Tom Parente strolled in...just by chance!
We were delighted to see him! :-)

BCREA Fall Lunch

Hope you all are well. I am newly back from Hot Springs, AR and Nashville, TN (where my camera met an untimely ending, smashing to the floor behind the Grand Ole Opry stage :-(

Best wishes to Rosemary and Bruce and Jean Lombardi who will be leaving for Italy instead of joining us for lunch next THURSDAY, the 20th. Bon voyage and ciao!

Meanwhile, for those of you who were there, here are my photos from the BCREA lunch/meeting today: https://1drv.ms/a/s!ArBC0EoAZrJOkRzO6IQIurIyxb7e   (or for those of you who weren't, but want to see them anyway...!

While I was out of town:
Bob Cristella passed away. You may have known him as a beloved coach for swimming and lacrosse in South Jersey/Delran. He was in my class in fifth grade. I am so sad.
