The New England Reunion, September 20, 2005

On September 20th, 2005, a group of New England Euryale crew members gathered at the Manor Restaurant in West Boylston, Mass. for a mini reunion. Present were the Gondolas, the Ostapecks, the Del Montes, the Thells, the Charettes, Walter Ward and Wallace Kelsey. Guests included Sue Hall, (Kelsey's Daughter) and his friend, Mary Peterson. Due to a dental emergency, the Lefkowitzs missed lunch but came afterward. Those from out of state were the Culps, the Buglios and the Ruys from Tennessee. Al and Betty served as host and hostess and everyone was invited back to their condo for food, drink and sparkling conversation. In the "You must have been a beautiful baby" contest, Mike Buglio was judged the winner determined by the ladies votes of photos submitted. This earned Mike a drink at the bar as promised by Oz. Now, unless challenged by some other Euryale crew member, we declare Mike Buglio to be the official National Beautiful Baby/Child winner.

We would like those who attended the mini reunion on September 20 to know that we are very grateful for the tremendous help Oz was while we were planning the affair. Without him there would not have been a reunion!!! So, thanks Oz. You're wonderful to work with and we sincerely appreciate everything you did for and with us.

P.S. To everyone we've met throughout the years at the Euryale reunions, we wish all of you Happy Holidays and a blessed New Year.
