PAUL UNGER RETURNS TO THE EAST COAST




Some sort of weather condition, not known in Tarzana, possibly related to winter.

A note from Br. Paul Unger on his return to the east coast having been in Southern California for Paul Queyrel's Super Bowl party.
"It was wonderful seeing everybody on Sunday and reconnecting. I arrived back in DC safe and sound on Monday and attached is what I woke up to this morning. I wanna come back. Health and good fortune to all.
A special thanks to Paul Queyrel for the wonderful party and hospitality."

LUNCH AT BARONE'S - FEBRUARY 18

Photo by Bill Borders Feb. 2010

To honor our jungle adventure on the Island of Dominica, Brother Jerry Olson brought this get-up to Jerry Fecht from Jamaca. Fecht claims that the boatman "Cobra" and a Carib Indian bar attendant converted him with run, and the sap of hybiscus (sp) leaves to the true light. Fecht signs correspondence to those who send him political messages with his authentic name, Rasta.

Don't forget Lunch With Our Founders Thursday the 18 of Feb. at Barone's Pizza - 1 pm

THOUGHTS ABOUT Br. ART AROCHA

Photo from an image sent by Al B. Conahan - Archive of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley 2010 (modified - click on image to enlarge)

"I am grieved by the passing of Art. I remember when he lived at the Frat house and shared a room with Joe Sutter and Howard Heitman. They were all big guys and that was where the "heavys" hung. One night Howard, a body builder, and Art were in a sort of disagreement over something. Art was one of the few that would stand up against Howard, who was a forceful personality. Howard was not a dumb guy and backed off when Art stood his ground.
Art took me for a ride somewhere in his new VW Bug one day and I remember how he used the brakes to stop instead of down shifting when we came off the Ventura Freeway off ramp at Whiteoak Blvd. He said it was a lot cheaper to replace brakes then it was to fix a transmission.
We have not seen each other in many years, but it seems like only the other day at Jerry Burns House. He came into town to attend a party. He loved to get together with the "Raiders of the Night" and relive years gone by when we were going to live forever. Art will live forever in our hearts." AL B. Conahan
