REUNION A GREAT SUCCESS

While the game score left something to be desired,the Teke Reunion of

the Classes of 1949 - 59 after the Cal-UCLA game on October 21st was an out�
standing success. Among the Tekes (of all classes) attending with their families
and frier:lds were: Clark Gross,Robin Harris,PeteWinkler, Wayne McCombs,Rich
Millikan,Dan Costello, Harry Smith,George Dove,Tom Morgan,Herm Fisher,Bill
Lewerenz,Al Nelson,Austin Walther, Bob Gassin, Carl Anderson, Dave Francis,
George Loftus, Richard Schimmel,Ed Dermott,and Bob Heath. (There were others
there but either theydidn1t sign the guest book or their signatures couldn1t
be deciphered--sorry. )
Bob Heath won the Greatest Distance Award, coming from Stamford,
Connecticut but Clark Gross fLA) , Herm Fisher ( Fresno) ,and Robin Harris (Tahoe
City) were runner";ups for the honor. Soph Goth sent his best wishes to all
and promised to be at-the Big Game Activities on November 18th. We hope to
see all of the Reunion Tekes and a lot more at this next occasion at the Teke
House!
