Biggy Picnic

It's not too early to talk about MHS Class of '67 Biggy Picnic.  This is the 59th Anniversary of our graduation.  We're having a 60th Reunion next year, so we won't be having a picnic next year, ... that makes this year's picnic BIG ... really, really, BIG.  We need a HUGE showing for this years picnic.

Saturday, August 15th, Snohomish, WA

We need you to make BIG plans.   Maybe you need to figure out how you're going to get up here from Nevada, or California, or Oregon, ... start planning.  Maybe you're just in Oak Harbor or Bellingham, ... we're only 3 months away from the picnic, so make sure your car is up to snuff for the trip.  

Yes, you are going to be treated like Royalty.   In fact, we have our own Queen of the Homecoming, Stephanie Smith to greet you.   Imagine that, being registered by your Queen, ... and, listen to this, her husband who will also be there, is named Charles, (cue the Twilight Zone music).  Not only that, but Mary Ferchen will be in the driveway, doing impromptu greetings as only Mary can, before you get to the official greeting by Queen Steph.  Mary was a princess for the Sons of Norway Lodge in the Norway Independence Day Parade in Ballard, you know.  Mary's husband, Wayne, is not anything, ... he's Italian.  Betty Dupree though, our Head of Security, was a Sergeant at Arms for the Black Butte Resort Committee meetings on Tennis Court etiquette.  Then, of course, we have Steve Favorite, who is the President of our Committee.  I would call him a figure head, but he's not good with figures.  There you have it, ... your Royal greeting 

Now, ... we're going to ask you to fill out another survey, ... yes, ... we're sorry, but we need your input.  We've been in talks with Gary DeBardi, and he's given us some formulas to be able to estimate attendance.  I don't think you realize how complicated this is.   Gary has us using arithmetical calculations, algebra, buoyancy tests, calculus, and other types of mathematical operations he and Bob Haar cooked up in their laboratory, ... but nothing beats someone like Pat McCune just saying "I'm coming" ... that's the gold standard.  So, can you do that for us, ... just say, "I'm coming", ... which she is, ... by the way, ... Pat. Pat is coming, and she lives in Sequim ( is that how I spell it, Karyl? ).

Ok, here's the big announcement, ... the survey is live, ... it's up to you.   The game is afoot. 

Oh, I forgot to tell you, ... all cards on the table, ... we're gonna pester the crap out of you to come to this picnic.   Sorry, for the language, Kevin told me to put that in there for emphasis.  I don't usually talk this way, ... Kevin does, ... in fact Kevin wanted me to use another word, .... nevermind.
