"THE PICNIC"

Turtle Rock Ranch, atop Mount Diablo, was the location of the company picnic this year. Everyone had a delightful time and believe it or not, the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Virginia Paoli as CheTf, Mr. Schimbor, made sure that everyone had plenty to eat and drink. The,cliildren won prizes for various games and foot races. I might add, they also invented a new game called, "Taking the Dry Ice from the Ice Cream". Fortunately, this game was halted before too much ice cream had melted. For the adults there were such attractions as swimming, volleyball, bingo, ping pong and horseshoes. Bernice Teeter and Joe Ursini had a competitive contest seeing who could win the most cans of beans playing bingo. All in all the whole event was a huge success. We would like to personnally thank all those who helped including, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Clark, Helen Prefore, Fraz &an=, -Sullivan and Richardmgomerv.
