Welcome

Patty, Susie and Dick invite our cousins, family and Halcyon friends to our FAMILY and HALCYON MEMORIES blog. I thought it may be fun for us to share our most favorite, precious memories of our life and times growing up in Halcyon - and remembering - and honoring - the many people that helped us along the way. Do you remember the spontaneous gathering when Uncle Bob Lentz "found" Bernard? Many of us came together in Halcyon to hear and tell stories (and enjoy Peppermint Schnapps). Remember Dr. Gerber being the most perfect emcee while I was recording the conversation using a little tape recorder? I still have the cassette tape from that evening. How many more stories are there to be told, that we can pass along to our children - and their children? I am hoping this blog gives us that opportunity. Two ways to join in the fun! First, please COMMENT on any post with your own memories, reflections. Second, BECOME A POST AUTHOR (contact me to set up permissions) and post your own memories or treasured photos.

About the baseball story

That weekend the Arroyo Grande High School Eagles beat Atascadero but lost to Lompoc.  Nevertheless, the coach named me "Eagle of the Week" because I played well in both games.  That's me on the left.  Notice the photo at right:  Mike Rubcic on the left and John Rubcic on the right.  Mike is the one who taught me how to be a good catcher.  I remember having Sunday barbeques at the Amos Dana Sr. home in Pismo Beach.  Mike and Minerva would come over.  After the big meal Mike would go outside into the street with me and give me pointers about being a catcher.  Wonderful times!  What I liked most about Amos Sr. cooking were the sweetbreads.
