2016 SUMMER PICNIC PHOTOS - June 18, 2016
(See top link on left menu.)
About 45 or so gathered on the warm Saturday afternoon and enjoyed pulled pork/chicken sandwiches and potluck salads, desserts, hors d'oeuvres, chips & dip, and veggie trays.
We weren't much for playing games as all were very much enjoying just visiting.
Many thanks to Bonnie D., John G., and Susie M. for all their work in pulling off this delightful afternoon.
Several suggested we do this again in 2017. We'll keep you posted by email. If you'd like to help organize the 2017 Picnic shoot an email to Harv Cahoon.

WEBSITE LAUNCHED - August 16, 2013
Site launched with only a handful of registrations the first few days. Now, many more. See Finding Fellow Titans for an update. If I misspelled your name, correct it when you register.
Initially there are only a few yearbook pictures loaded up, but there will be more until all Titans have a picture, thanks to the Wilhelmsen brothers who are tackling the project.
