One couple who made a short appearance drove from Tucson. They taught in Java for one year in the early 1950s, but had stayed in touch with Steve's family all these years. Another couple, like our friends, Bill & Donna, taught in Java 4 years in the early 70s. They arranged their AZ visit to coincide with the Java AZ reunion so they could see some of their former students.
Twenty-four JHS graduates were in attendance. The oldest, Lorraine, is a very young 87 years old, spending winters in AZ and summers in Java. There were 4 of us from the class of '68.
These 3 are graduates of a neighboring community, Hosmer. The two end guys married Java girls.

It was a fun evening visiting with people we don't see very often and eating good food. Plans were being made for the 2018 reunion when we left that night.
