St. Emydius 2018

St. Emydius Class of 1958 Annual luncheon at Boudin's at the Wharf in San Francisco

On a brilliant Saturday we gathered to celebrate 60 years since our graduation from St. Emydius. The restaurant opens to the public at 11:30, but the bar was open to us at 11am and we enjoyed champagne, cocktails, and beer as a warmup for lunch. The food, wine, and service at Boudin's was great.

Tierney takes the floor

As promised, Marty Tierney reprised his role in our 8th grade blockbuster, "Vacation Daze," with a recitation of  "A Little Bit of Heaven." Given that his voice has matured, he chose to recite the lyrics rather than sing them.

John Mulhall is a devoted to these get togethers. He flew from his home in Washington state for the day just to join us. Our second place devotee award goes to Stella DuBose Stone, who motored from Yuba City for this event. 

Most of us are retired or semi-retired. We extend warm wishes to Bernadette Dunne who will join the retirement ranks at the end of the year. 

Bernadette Dunne

Hope to see you all next year for #61.
