SHTP '08 gathered last night at ALCHERA tree in another wonderful reunion. Among those present were ALCHERA, ANKLE BITER, BLACK FEATHERS, CARROL E, DREAM CHASER, ERGO, FEOLENA, FERAL, KALI-O, LATITUDE 38, NA NA, NEREIDA, RAGTME, SEABIRD, SPARKY, STARBUCK, WILDFLOWER, TIGER BEETLE. and TRAVIESO

Honored guests included RC '08 (Syn and Sylvia), RC '06 (Lucie and Ben), and AOTEA (Peter and Shama.). A surprise for WILDFLOWER was brother Scott who had flown in from Annapolis for the occasion.

BLACK FEATHERS, with RC permission, re-bequeathed his Perseverance Trophy to rightful recipient: SPARKY. Syn presented WILDFLOWER and COOKIE JAR (George McKay) with replacement belt buckles. COOKIE JAR's home had been lost in the recent Santa Cruz fire.

A wonderful catered dinner under full moon rising over Mt.Diablo was followed by Christine and Jonathan showing their video of SHTP '08.

SHTP '08 is one of those magical happenings that we all wish could continue forever. Next installment is SPARKY's wedding. Thankyou Carla and Mark!
