In 2003, I drove through Bordeaux and took a few pictures. The recent posts have inspired me to put a couple of these on the blog. Although much has changed in Talence, the chateau d'eau (the view out my dorm window) was still there. I also took a picture of Tammy Brown's and Cindy Thornburg's apt at 14 Rue de la Boetie - it had been spruced up and was looking much better than when we were there - and thought I'd share with everyone.

La Jolla mini Reunion

I am thrilled to report that our reunion in La Jolla was a great success! Eight of us convened at Humphreys in La Jolla for lunch and it couldn't have been more delightful. We brought photo albums, ID cards, and an endless stream of memories with which to regale one another throughout lunch. In attendance were Skip Condé, Phil Jackson, Amy Iwata Jackson, Seonaid "Shona" McArthur, Alex Ruiz, Martha Salinas, and yours truly, Robin Creighton Genat. There was a genuine feeling of warmth, openness, and enthusiasm for one another and an appreciation for the great opportunity we had been given by virtue of this experience so many years ago. Phil brought a bottle of the most divine Bordeaux red to share. Here are a few photos.

Re: a mini-reunion in Seattle on December 5-6. I realize that I didn't put down any contact information. If you are interested in joining us you can contact me, Judy, at judy.farrar@gmail.com and we will make further arrangements from there. Holly and I hope that others will be able to join us.

Hi Everyone,

It's been fun to see all the comments from people in the blog and the emails. Holly Harrison (now Holly Cree) and I have been in contact over the years and would both love to join in a reunion with other EAPers. I live in Mount Vernon in northwest Washington. Holly, who lives in Pocatello Idaho, is planning to come to Seattle on Thursday, December 5 and Friday, December 6. If there are any other EAPers who live nearby, we would like to extend an invitation to meet with us in Seattle for lunch or dinner on Thursday or lunch on Friday. We thought a mini-reunion could be fun and we also both hope to make it to any bigger reunion that might take place in California (or France). Holly is suggesting a French restaurant in Seattle, Chloe Bistrot, which has good ratings.

Let us know if you would like to join us.

San Diego Mini-Reunion Nov. 14, 2013

We did it! In just a few days, we managed to set a date and find a location. There are five of us in San Diego County: Robin Creighton Genat, Seonaid "Shona" McArthur, Alexandra "Alex" Ruiz, Martha Salinas, and Rhoda Basil White. I addition, we will be joined by Skip Condé. We are meeting for lunch at Humphreys Grill in La Jolla on Thursday, November 14, 2013 at noon. We are all really excited about it and wondering if we will even recognize each other! Old student ID cards will be in order.www.humphreyslajolla.com
