A "can you remember" question :-) Does anyone remember the name of that great restaurant that was in Yolo? I think the building is still there, but it is now a Mexican restaurant. I'm taklking about the place that was there before

thanks

Elvis Kelley (1962)

Greg, the restaurant in Yolo was Gormans for many years. They had fine food. I went through Yolo a couple of days ago and it looks like the place is shut down completely. It had a cyclone fence and it. Time marches on.

JoAnn Kergel (Wirth) (1965)

Greg & Elvis are correct.  Gorman's was excellent and just living three miles from there my family ate there often.  In 2010 I enjoyed lunch there with Carol Gorman Davis.  (No relation)  I believe the place had been closed and opened several times under various owners and was then a Mexican resturant.

Will not be attending the reunion in Sept. as we have had plans for many months to travel to Europe.  Will be visiting Norway, Iceland and Scotland as well as Amsterdam.  Trying to squeek in as much travel as possible while we can.  Enjoy.  Jo Ann

John Davis (1965)

Joann,

Jim Gorman, the resturantaur, was Carol's uncle, her fatherBernie's brother. Hope all is good with you and Dan.  Carol has a new yearling you have to ask her about.  JD

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Thanks JoAnn and Elvis. Trying to remember, I came up with "G" :-) Just could not remember GORMAN"S! Yep, one of those great ol' places with many good memories! Anytime one of my Aunts and Uncles would visit Mom and Dad, they would tell me to meet in Yolo at "Gorman's" for a dinner. Fun times and fun memories!!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Oh yes, Gorman's Restaurant nice to remember.  Our family ate there a few times while living in Yolo in the 50s.  JoAnn I will miss not seeing you at the Reunion.  My plans are not set as yet.  Carol Gorman has a new horse, or is it a Mule.  John extend my best to Carol.  Post a picture of the yearling.   Happy Mother's Day to all.    

Richard S. Klenhard (1967)

Hello from Georgia.  I hope y'all have a safe and wonderful Mother's Day.

JoAnn Kergel (Wirth) (1965)

Gormans.  I stand corrected on the Gorman question.  John Davis, who is married to Carol Gorman, informs me that Carol's uncle owned the restaurant.  Didn't know that.

Thanx to all of you for your private messages and wishing me a speedy recovery from my 2 surgeries last week. It's tough getting old and having the body fall apart. Again, thanx to all.

Memorial Day is Monday, May 29th.  It is a day to remember and honor the fallen.

If you live in or around Woodland, you may remember seeing the road sign on CR 102 between Woodland and Davis, honoring Petty Officer Neil Roberts, a US Navy SEAL.,  The sign is a teaser for  'the rest of the story'. 

The fog of combat is sobering.  All gave some...some gave all.  Actually, many gave all. God bless'em all.

Elvis Kelley (1962)

Thank you Gary.  I wish more people would remember the real meaning of Memorial Day. So many people think it's just a time to BBQ and get drunk. 

I THANK ALL WHO SERVED AND ALL THAT GAVE ALL !

As Gary said, God bless all. 

Theresa Eve (1964)

Memorial Day is a day to thank all our service people, service dogs and horses.  Freedom is not free, lives are lost.  Bless those who have given for our Country.    Many Thanks.  

Joan Richter (Lucchesi) (1960)

There is a beautiful ceremony put on by Yolo Post 77 American Legion at the Woodland Cemetery on Monday at 11:00 PM.  We see many of the same people every year honoring their families and classmates lost to us defending our country.

Here is a Photo of the 128th Tomahawk Memorial Rock in front of the Operations Office in Phu Loi, Vietnam  Long before there was a Vietnam Memorial Walll.  We had the Names of fallen Aviators of the 128th AHC on this Rock of Remembering.  The Year is 1970.

Bill Means (1961)

For memorial day please remember my three great friends:

!st Lt. Bob Edmunds who was shot down in his F-105 Thunderchief on his thrd flight into North Vietnam in October 1968. Bob visited Woodland with me and met cousin Brann Thomas WHS '69 in March 1967.

Capt Paul Barwick who died in hs F-100 on a simulated nucear weapons bomb release off the Isle of Mann in the Irish sea in March 1970.

Capt Walt Buck in his F-100 who hit the top of a mountain in Northern Spain on a low level mission in June 1970.

All were excellent fighter pilots and will be remembered forever by their fellow pilots. They answered the call to defend our country with courage dedication and selflesness.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Bill Means:  Thank you for the real story of good men lost for freedom.  I know this personal lose touches you daily. Remembering their names in honor.

Don Murdoch (1962)

That happened to me a year ago. They emptied my address book and sent a request for $500 so I could buy a wedding gift for my niece.  About 15 folks from my address book called to make sure the request was legitimate. A couple of people said they knew it was a scam  because they knew I was an only  child, thus no nieces. Never was able to refill my address book. Had about 50 names in it.

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

This is another memory question - I was was reminishing about High School days with someone and the topic of "Girls being refered to as The 600's" (I think that was the number) came up. Does anyone remember what that meant? Was is like a sorority or?. Was it something that we said about someone else, or did they refer to themselves that way? Was it just our class (1962) or did other classes have a similar group? Being that our class kinda fits in the middle of this group, I am curious what our class remembes and what the other classes may have to say. And, trying to remember back 60 years ago, I don't think it was used in anything but a fun way??

Don Murdoch (1962)

Greg,  I'm sure everyone has their own interpretation of the term "600".  In our day, it referred to girls who were snobby. They thought they were better than everyone else. Usually wore nicer clothes and jewelry though family wealth did not play a big part.  I noticed that at our 60th reunion, a couple of 600s had not changed since high school.

Joel Childers (1966)

As I recall, in 1962-1966, we still used the expression "she's a 600." I think it faded out by the time we graduated in '66.
