White House Luncheon at the Reagan Library
Feb. 15, 2008

Alumni and friends from Southern Califoirnia gathered Feb. 15 at the Reagan Library for a White House Luncheon and tour of the library. We had a great turnout, with alumni representing classes from 1945 to 2005. Brad Lindahl, Class of 1983, was kind enough to provide the fine photos below.
