Description

The "Picnic in the Park" was no picnic in the park. It looked like rain, and it was sprinkling on my windshield leaving West Boxford. When I got to Beverly it was a lot brighter and not raining at all, but starting to cloud up. By the time some people were accumulating, it started to sprinkle. We were standing around the parking lot with umbrellas, resembling a Mary Poppins convention for a time. Someone pointed out that it was dry under some trees, off in the distance, where there were picnic tables. There was no sign of lightening, so we went over and were able to sit around and talk for at least an hour or so, before a little squall came in with some serious rain.

There were seven (7) people from the Class of 1958, nine (10) from our class, and a few from the Classes of '59 and '61, and that was it. I don't know if anyone from the Class of '62 was there. Too bad about the weather, because I thought there would be many more than that. It could be the attendance was up last year because the Classes of 1960 and 1961 were going to have a reunion then. I wish I knew it was the weather for sure. The people that were there really enjoyed themselves. To venture forth in threatening weather meant they really wanted to be there.

I appologize for the blurriness in some of these images. The Sony FD88 won't handle any movement in dim light. (Bill Nisbet)
