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.
