Band Upheaval
We learned ove rthe weekend that Doug Miner, the band directory for both Mills High School and the West Bay Community Band, was in a serious motorcycle accident on Saturday the 19th. He will recover, but it will be a slow process as his injuries are relatively serious. The school is finding a substitute to cover the last few days of school and the performance at graduation. The WBCB is looking for another conductor for a while. One of the musicians led the group at Sunday’s performance at San Carlos Hometown Days, which I missed.
Best wishes to Doug – get well!!
NWLC
I spent the weekend in San Jose at the Northwest Leather Celebration. It was great to hang out with friends and attend some classes, receptions, and parties.
Val leaves for a visit
Val left on Friday the 18th to go to Italy to visit Erika and Charles. She was also excited because Tracey, Jason, and Laurie were coming to Italy also! She’ll be back on Sunday the 27th.
Haley and Kathie go to Disneyland
Haley was part of the Taylor Band who performed at Disneyland and the Heritage Festival in Fullerton over the weekend. Kathie went as a chaperone. They left in the early afternoon on Thursday, May 17th, and returned on Sunday, May 20th at about 11pm. It was really hard getting Haley up for school the next day!
Haley’s Field Trip: Home of Peace Cemetery
Haley’s religious school class went on a field trip to the Home of Peace Cemetery in Colma. I accompanied. Rabbi Feder went over some of the rituals we have around death, reinforcing what had been taught as part of the “lifecycle” studies. We took a trip through history, looking at graves in different sections from different points in time. We ended up at the Peninsula Temple Sholom section, where Haley and I both placed stones on Rabbi Raiskin’s headstone.
Katelyn’s field trip: Church of Scientology
Katelyn’s religious school class had their last field trip of the year, to a Church of Scientology.
Mothers’ Day
We went to visit Mom for Mothers’ Day. Just a few hours and a trip to Sizzler, but it was nice to do it.
