============================================================================

Before we know it, Fall will be here and with it comes the great weather in the Florida Panhandle - in particular, the Destin area.  We are hoping to have another Roundup there this year, so please mark your calendars for Thursday-Saturday, 10-12 October 2019.  Those who were able to make it to Destin last fall made many lasting memories, as well as new friends and discovered new places to  dineand to visit, thanks to Pat Pierce's vast knowledge of the area as our HHS resident "native" and to  Bill Coffeen as one whose family has left a lasting legacy in the area - Lake Coffeen!. It’s still early, but we are looking into a place for a meet and greet for those planning to arrive Thursday evening and for restaurants for dinner on Friday/Saturday night.  We have someone working on local lodging recommendations and in particular, the Hampton Inn, Destin for a group rate there. We are also looking into other hotels in the area to recommend as well as events taking place that weekend.  We will provide that information once we have it, which we expect to be within the next week or so. 

If you are interested in joining us, have any questions or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact one of us.  We would also appreciate your letting us know as early possible so we may determine the group size for both the hotel and restaurants. 

Thanks, we look forward to hearing back from you and seeing you in Destin!

Dorian presented a nail bitting experience for Florida residents. In Lake Mary (North of Orlando), we experienced random heavy rain and moderate wind; very fortunate.

After dinner on Saturday night at the "790 on the Gulf Restaurant" in Destin. The first two in front were two very nice "young" ladies from Louisiana who happened to photo-bomb themselves into our photo - we never did catch their names! Behind them are Brad Edwards, Maria Alicia Siller Edwards and Sergio Siller.  Behind Sergio is Pat Pierce and behind Pat (in the same shirt ???) is Ray Valdez who graciously took all the many great photographs during the Roundup.  To Ray's left are Gary Licko, HHS Class of '64 and his wife Carol; behind Ray is JoAnn McAlhaney Walker's husband Jonnie Walker (where in the world is JoAnn?). Just behind Johnnie is Jerrilyn Snyder Cobbs, MSHS Class of '67 with her husband Ray, Coral Gables High Class of '63. And last but not least, on the top row, is Mary Baker, Kathe Snyder Richards HHS Class of '63 and Mary's husband Gene Baker, friends of Kathe.

Ray, great photos. Could you put the names of the folks either on each photo or at the bottom of the posting as well as the class they were in (I believe you had both '63 and '64 at this Roundup). Trying to figure out who that guy is in the group photo with the baseball hat and the great beard? Thanks!

Alice Lacedonia (Pace)

Thank you Ray, enjoyed seeing the photos.  Wish we could have attended. Too many things going on this year. Hope to be able to attend next year.  Also, looking forward the Roundup in March.  Hope we will be available to attend!!
