| First, we all met Friday night and went to Scotti's Italian restaurant. Sorry, but I didn't bring my camera so I don't have any photos. | ||

Saturday morning, some of us helped kick off the 10 a.m. opening of Zinzinnati 2004. At 11 a.m., the full group met at the Spatenbrau tent. |

| But then we got down to some serious eating and drinking. Hey, it was a tough job but someone had to do it! | ||

That's us in the shadow under the Spatenbrau tent. Of course, everyone would expect an experienced JYM'er like Brad to exemplify the true Oktoberfest spirit, but we were all thrilled to see newcomers like Annalee Riley also rally to the cause. |

So here's the group so far, left to right: Jerry, Nelson, Barb, Brian, Marcia, Rod, Beate, Don, Brad, Marylynn, George and Carolyn. Significant time was dedicated to matching names to 30+ year old photos and trying to come up with a plan to locate more alumni and build towards the next reunion. Then we walked across the river to the Hofbrauhaus in Newport, KY. Can you guess what we did there???? |

| But the highlight of the afternoon was when Tom Prince arrived. Unfortunately, Charlene couldn't make it, since Tom was en route from California to Mass. for meetings next week. | ||
|
So, by the evening, when we all went to a German restaurant in Covington, KY, this was the full group. JYM'ers to the left and JYM'ers with their better halves to the right. |
