Eagle Friends and Dinners Across America

Why do Eagles congregate for dinner and drinks? Because you gotta eat? Well seeing friends you haven't seen for many year may be a great reason, too! Networking is a fantastic fringe benefit. One of our most important resources is human capital, the ability to know and be visible to friends and relationships that can help you find opportunities.


Last night, my bride Kris and I, had fellowship and dinner at Farina's Pizzeria and Wine Cellar in downtown Albuquerque with Harry's 1978 classmates Ray Roberts and Daina (Bynum) Roberts, and Jaime and Susie (Maxwell) Moya. Had a wonderful time catching up with each other.

I believe Lorraine (Vigneault'78) Cimino had her birthday with Robert '78 and Mary Holt recently.

Stacey Bradley Adams’91 had her 8th annual Mardi Gras Bash at her home on Feb 21st…there were many eagles at that well attended event (my guess – over 150 partiers). Some of the best Cajun food I’ve had in a long time!


Let's see, from memory...Joe Mares'90 was in Las Vegas, NV and is still nursing his hangover - met up with some friends who flew to LV to be his designated driver. LOL! Joe’s a hard charging Marine, and was recognized last Andress Homecoming as Outstanding Ex…oh, and he has “bomb ass” kids, too!


Steve Bilbo'74 and Dianne Cantrelle'76 had a recent event, celebrated her birthday last Feb 20 in Austin, TX. Mark Matusof’76, from the DC area, has been flying in to visit the Austin, TX area, or is it to visit some cherished friends?

Melanie Thomas Thomas'74 also organized a well attended El Paso event at Jaxon's Microbrewery on Feb 18th. Jose Ramirez was in town from Denmark…interesting lengths of travel eagles will fly to make it to these events.


And, the DFW area group has probably had the most events since last year, averaging 1 event every 60 to 90 days...and those have been well attended, and many hilarious moments created...just ask Tyrone Pope'78 and Renata Brown'78.


Many of you may notice we have established a number of Andress High Alumni-. These were created for you to join. Join the ones where you may have a better chance of attending organized dinner/happy hour events.
