It’s hard to believe I just recently had my high school reunion…and that it was 25 years since I graduated! It was a fun-filled weekend, beginning with part one at Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery in La Jolla on Saturday August 17th. Part two was a family picnic held at Glorietta Bay Park in Coronado the following day. I was on the committee for our 10 year reunion, so I thought it would be fun to be a part of the 25th one (the 10 year reunion was larger and at the US Grant). We did have a smaller more intimate 20 year reunion back in 2008, but my husband and I were unable to attend because we were in London at that time. Our 25th year also marked the 50th year anniversary of our school, Samuel F.B. Morse High School, “Home of The Tigers”! It was fantastic to see old friends and classmates again. Someone mentioned that although we didn’t get together that much in person, we can remain somewhat up to date with each other’s lives because of social media, especially Facebook. I’m also glad to see that the reunion spirits didn’t stop that weekend, as many of my Tiger buddies are getting together and hanging out again. These are just a few of the many pictures taken that weekend, and if you are a class of 1988 Tiger reading this or know someone who is, we have a Facebook page where you can catch up with other fellow Tigers, and see additional pictures. Hope you had a great weekend!

Treasures from our time capsule. I’d like to take credit for adding the Depeche Mode cassette tapes, but that’s not my writing. But that is me in the yearbook picture above. I was the layout editor. I guess things haven’t changed that much!
Our class president, Nancy Cawley (formerly Rabelas), introducing the committee.
The reunion committee. Lots of hard work was put in by my fellow Tigers!
Lots-o-photos of the night!
Tigers who couldn’t make it due to distance or other obligations could join in the fun via our live stream (that’s Romeo Cruz, who chatted with some of our classmates). We had it aimed at the dance floor. Oh how I love technology!
Music for the evening was provided by 3-Style Attraction DJ’s. They played Depeche Mode and New Order, as requested. Thanks James and Ray!
If you watch professional football, you will know this fellow Morse 1988 alumni. If you don’t, this is Lincoln Kennedy, formerly of the Atlantic Falcons and more notably of the Oakland Raiders. He was on the Raiders team that played the Superbowl here in San Diego against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
This is Roger Bradley, my prom date back in 1988. We thought it would be fun to pose together again. We matched much better back in 1988!
My prom date for life. This picture was taken by Angie Benedicto.
Pictures from the picnic the following day. We brought my niece Mei-Lin to join in on the fun with Dominic.
The kids had lots of fun activities like a scavenger hunt, water guns, and tattoo art!
My hubby said, “I want to play golf over there…” And so he did!
