Our fishermen held their annual mini-reunion in July.As reported, they fished the San juan River at the base of the Navajo Dam in northwestern New Mexico. Although the temperature was over 100 degrees, the water temperature was much cooler allowing the group to catch rainbow and brown trout ranging from 15 to 23 inches. Team members included Jim Adams, Dick Lewis, Dave McLaughlan, Shelly Woolf, Bob Levine, Bill Murane, Pete Ankeny, Dick Page, John Heston and Will Wilkins. Shelly Woolf won the prize for the largest fish. However, because of the intense heat, the group was "forced" to resort to ice cooled beverages each evening, which led to certain inaccuracies in relating the days catch. (Fish stories?)

Reminders: If you have not revealed your email address to Pete Barker, please do so before you get "barkered." Also take a few minutes and send your bio for the reunion yearbook to Bill White or Wayne Weil. Start making plans for the 50th reunion in June.
