Tim Irvin 1983

Twelve years ago, I answered an appeal to help a friend at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation; they had taken over the operations of a seven-day bike fundraiser and needed some volunteers to help out during the week. I thought it sounded like fun and got hooked. Here we are now at the 12th Annual AIDS/LifeCycle, and I'm in charge of 100 route-based rest stop volunteers and 12 volunteer managers.
Class of 1985

5.14.13

Eight of us from the Class of 1985 met in the Bahamas for a weekend, the result of a wish to gather more frequently than every 5 years at School Reunions. Robert and Victor showed us the islands; Exumas, Allen's Cay where we saw the iguanas, Eleuthera and reef sharks and fishing, where we caught Wahoo and Mahi. Most of the time was spent reliving memories of our high school days and creating a few new memories.
