Hello hello hello and welcome
I am Peppy Doggett Class of 1968
Before I speak I would like to say a few words. Please join me in a big shout out for the organizers of this event.
You heroes please raise your hands so we can come around and thank you personally.
A little background first. You probably already know that this reunion is not an ISB Network Alumni Association sponsored event . We do not wish to replace but to supplement the usual ISBN scheduled events. We want a special event focused our own unique decade of ISB experiences. We have organized this event with their encouragement and best wishes
We hope you are finding our choices of venue, accommodations and events to your liking.
Our main aim is to have a relaxed time reuning with great friends from years ago swapping stories about shared experiences and catching up on our life events since then.
There are a lot of cozy places around the hotel to gather in groups large and small. And many thanks to the Hotel Valencia Riverwalk and their amazing staff and events department for everything they have done to make this event so special for us.
We have a number of events planned for the next few days. Please consult the specially made website BarbosTheBand.org for the schedule of events, and for links to a support ing information regarding music, shows, photos videos and other fun stuff.
Later this evening I myself along with Mike Dinning will be strumming our guitars while listening to you all sing favorite songs from the sixties, lyrics for which you can link to from the website.
