RHS Class of 1967 – 40-Year Reunion Weekend July 6, 7 & 8, 2007The Friday Night Hospitality Mixer On Friday evening, July 6, 2007, an informal "Welcome" Party for RHS ’67 Classmates & guests/spouses, hosted by RHS '67 Classmates Jeri (Georgia Quinones) Alvera, Shirley (Murillo) Delgado, and Shirley's husband, Michael Delgado, was held in Shirley & Michael's spacious corner suite. The reception featured an open bar & a wide selection of blended beverages, a variety of hors d'oeuvres & light refreshments, and a wrap-around balcony that overlooked the resort’s Doral Championship Golf Course. The suite included plenty of seating for classmates to chat and visit. Later in the evening, the reception adjourned poolside, where several classmates enjoyed a refreshing, late-night dip in the pool. Many thanks to Jeri, Shirley, and Michael for their outstanding generosity and warm hospitality!

Before all of the military veterans in attendance were recognized, Gary Schram shared information about the Marinelli Stadium Project and the Dedication Ceremony that took place on Panther Field on June 19, 2007. As a part of his remarks, Schram contacted Rod Marinelli via telecon and, on Rod’s behalf, made a special presentation to Gary Alba. Following the invocation, the D.J. began to play 60s dinner music, the buffet and dessert tables were opened, and “reunioning” resumed in full force. Periodically, the D.J. drew classmates’ names for the door prizes. Gary Johnson asked questions about the events of 1967 and gave 60s music CDs for the right answers.
