From Dave Dennick
Hi Dennis,
Wanted to take a moment to thank you for the “Buzz Book”, great to be able to contact many old classmates. Also want to Thank You, Fred, Len and Bill for putting the reunion together I think you did a great job and received a very positive response from everyone I talked to on Sunday at BHS.
In response to your question, no I did not make it sailing around the world however I did spend years sailing and racing on big boats here in the Bay, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Caribbean and some on the North Sea off Germany. Left the racing when they started to race bank accounts and rulebooks instead of boats.
Did not join the regular Coast Guard but spent many years in the Coast Guard Auxiliary teaching, patrolling and doing safety inspections here in the Delta and up and down the coast of California.
Have lived in Brentwood, Contra Costa County for over twenty years – love the near by Delta. Still sail often, ski often as I can [water and snow], carry a camera most days, and spend time in the mountains hiking, camping and getting away.
Very sorry I missed Friday and Saturday evening Reunion events was looking forward to seeing old friends and classmates. Sunday was great but too short I plan to “Buzz” some names and reach out a bit before the 50th.
Thanks Again. Dave Dennick ‘64
