2021 Mini-Reunion in Florida

The 7th annual B.F.H.S. Class of 1961's Mini-Reunion was held at the Havana Country Club restaurant in The Villages, Florida, on Thursday, March 4th from 2:00 to 4 PM. Many classmates were there early and several of them stayed later, with some moving on to another restaurant/bar before calling it a day.  Tables were provided at the Havana Country Club in the covered outdoor patio and everyone ordered from the restaurant menu. It was a beautiful day and being outside helped ensure that it was a safe event.

Classmates and guests who attended were:  Dominic (Sonny) Borello with guest Gerri Moore,  Gary Campbell, Terry Dicianna,  Patti Dicianna,  Harold Evans,  Maureen Piccinini Golmont,  Russ Greata,  Joanne Greata, Terry Krivak,  Pam Krivak,  Mike MacDonald,  Carol Stewart Mitchell,  Moni and Jim Stewart (class of 1960, Jim is Carol's brother), Joline Mittica Mannion,  Ruth Partington,  Pam North (friend of Ruth),  Doralee Pauletich with John Less,  Gary Smith and Barb Willis Smith,  Alice Jean Luciania Stewart with Tony Cabral,  and Keener White.

Pam Krivak, with help from Patti Dicianna took the pictures. To view the mini-reunion pictures, click on the tab at the top of the page marked Pictures from the Mini Reunions.  

NOTE:  If you would like to share on our website any of your pictures from this year's mini-reunion, please email them to either Terry Krivak or Russ Greata.

It was quite an enjoyable event -- lots of laughter, without fear as we all had our shots.   We were pleased that so many of our congenial classmates were able to attend.
