During the past few years, a group of golfing buddies from our class put together annual tournaments at different locations throughout California, Arizona and Oregon.

Because a few of the golfers are no longer with us and the remainder of the group are getting older and no longer play golf, the tournaments have been replaced by periodic luncheons.

Last Thursday Richard Montes hosted a luncheon at La Tolteca in Azusa. It was a good turnout and even included some surprise guests from our class. Dave Hartley drove from Oregon with his new bride, LaVonne, and Butch Lightfoot flew in from Washington state to attend the luncheon. Azusa neighbors and former classmates, Jose “Cookie” Lujan-Feliz and Rachel Pedroza-Flores also showed up for the luncheon. Everyone seemed to have a good time reminiscing and catching up on the latest classmate news.
