Thursday Nite Las Olas Pub Crawl

Some people are traveling from long distances and staying several days. Many still live in SoFla. Bob Saxon, Ronnie Smith and I decided to extend the reunion by inviting anyone classes 63 - 67 to come on a Thurday evening Las Olas Pub Crawl on 6/24.

We will assemble in the Lobby of Pier 66 around 7 and go till we drop. Right now we plan to breakup into cabs so no one gets a DUI but if there is enough interest we will try to get the hotel courtesy van or a party bus,


Let's here your ideas
