Don't know how upscale you want... but Kelsey's has always been able to accomodate functions for the Soccer Club.... nice menu and private area in the back that they did allow you to reserve if you know how many people will be there!

As for seedy bars!!! We have 4 of them.... End Zone....Rosie O'Grady's, Main Street and Mickey's. Mickeys used to be the best, but they redid the End Zone and think that is the best... and don't forget the Brickworks Brewery uptown!!  There's always the lounges and Wisecrackers at what we all remember as the Holiday Star Theater right there at I-65/30.

FRIDAY NIGHT:   It all sounds good.  I think the plan is to meet our golfing friends around 5 at the riverpoint golf course... then off to dinner at a restaurant (yet to be named) for those that want to go and then it's bar hopping the 4 local dives starting with the End Zone around 7:30/8:00ish.  Whatever you want to be a part of is great....  but this gives you times and places to find the group.  I can't wait!  Cheerio!

Linda Wineinger (Davis)

Have fun all you crazy people. I dont want to hear about you on the evening news !

I think I had more fun at the Reunion weekend than anyone else from the class of 80.

The golf outing was more fun than any outing I've ever played in. All the yelling and beer drinking just completley over the top fun.

The party at Cagnes was so much fun drinking and dancing with proably around 50 of my classmates. I think there are a few great pics of the party on facebook.

The beer we drank in Joe's basement after Cagnes Donna on the drums Joe and I singing. Very loud music. Joe broke two light bulbs...

The dinner before the reunion was fabulous "The Country Lounge" on Ridge road in Hobart. Best filet migon I've had in a long time. Dennis Osbourne and his girl fiend Jill were also alot of fun. Joe and Donna were the best host ever in letting me stay with them for Friday and Sat night.

The reunion was great also. Open bar from 6-midnight! The Hobart cop came in at midnight to kick us all out of there. Lots of huging and kissin, drinking and dancing! Fantastic group of people we have in this class of 1980. Thanks for putting all together Carol!

As we were getting tossed out of the Elks Club we intited about 20 people to come over to Joe Rileys House. 40 plus showed up. We killed a bunch of booze and another 3 or 4 cases of beer. I sang Some Kind Of Wonderful with Donna on the drums and the whole basement was rocking and everybody singing along. It was freeking wild! Again so many people to talk and so much to say and before I knew it I heald Kevin Lovell say "It's 4 O clock. I looked at my watch and it was! We kicked Starsky out last and I remember the defining time of the pary being over was 4:34. Wow!

Burned the candle at both ends of the wick for 12 daya so it's good to be back home in California were the days are short but the nights are long.

Keep in touch classmates!!!

To Hobart Class of 1980
Just wanted to let you all know our classmate - Cindy Locke recently passed away.
I didn't know if this information was already known , but I pray for her family and her brother Ken that during this time they find peace

Mike Tonnif posted this on FB. Thought you would want to know. 

Steve "Buckwheat" Eilers

Got the news that Dave Negrelli dies yesterday of heart issues. Thought anyone who knew him might want to know.  

Kathleen Lara (Meinschock)

Oh no :(. I think of him here and there and wonder where his life took him. Very sad news....

Steve "Buckwheat" Eilers

That brings the total to 31 of our classmates who have passed now. 

Vincent T Luna

thanks for "keeping up", and posting this info - very thoughtful of you.

hope all is well with you, and yours.  VTL

Steve "Buckwheat" Eilers

You bet Vin I'm not on Facebook so this is my ony way to comunicate with my class mates now. Unfortunaty allot of them forgot about me once I got off Face Book. Sad. 

Kathleen Lara (Meinschock)

No way - haven't forgotten about you!!!!  Just don't know how to keep in touch. Actually I've just taken a "break" from Facebook until after the holidays. I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna return or not. Anymore it just seems to be flooded with garbage that I don't need in my life.....

Steve "Buckwheat" Eilers

Kathleen, Face Book is just a big waist of time. Your real freinds and you know who they are, will aways go out of there way to make you a part of their life. 

Kathleen Lara (Meinschock)

Amen to that!!
