The Reunions....

In 1984, Suzan and Jay (Bird) Sweet celebrated their marriage, in Dallas, Texas. It was a wonderful reuniting of many of the Santa Clara friends. During the time in Texas, and then at the Sweet’s reception, in Marin County, California, it was suggested we re-create our reunion in Lake Tahoe, late summer 1984.

Tom Fair's parents had a place there, and Chinquapin and Lake Tahoe were an idyllic place for gatherings. We had previously had smaller reunions there since graduation. So, an expanded, and more inclusive reunion, was planned…and has continued, since the 70’s.

We have joined together, celebrated, defined and refined our Santa Clara friendships, almost every year with family, friends and acquaintances. Here are some of the photographs of times we have shared, there.

Families who have shared the SCU Summer of Love experience, in Tahoe, include but are not limited, to: Mike and Christy Styer Bassi; Barney Alfs; Mike and Betsy Bazdarich; Tim Beresky; Randy and Karen Blaesi; Kerry (Celaine) and Patrizia Burns; Dominic and Anni Cacciatore; Mike and Wendy Carey; Phil and Ginny DeMaria; Tom and Ingrid Dunlap; Tom Fair and Monique Bricca; Robert and Jane Fair; Ken Fair; Christy and Mike McGilvery; Paul Hogan; Jim and Allegra Hansen; Phil and Vicki Johnson; Rick and Debi Justice; John and Angelika Malley; Mike McGreevy; Anne Middleton; Alan Murakami; Mike and Elisabetta Nelsen; Matt and Ann Noonan; Barry and Jenny Porteous; Dave Richert; Jay and Suzan Sweet; Jackson and Christine Sweet; Marco and Julia Nelsen-Valgonio…and many assorted kids, not currently married.

From that time on, we have celebrated and refined our Santa Clara friendships, almost every year- with family, friends and acquaintances. Here are some of the photographs of times we have shared, there.
