Rich
and Deb LaPrairie hosted the Sig Ep party at their home in Reno.
Plenty of the brothers showed up, but many others could not
attend so Rich had a plan to "include" them via a Skype conference
call.
The photos below are what we saw.
The BBQ
got some major use during the party. Rich and his son
Jules did the majority of the cooking.
Ramsey talks with
Eric and Steve.
My
feeble, if not pathetic, attempt at a selfie.
Bill and
Gary review the photo roll on his phone.
Sitting
around the pool was very pleasant.
Eric,
Paul and Jim watch a Skype session with a brother that could not
attend.

and Ruppert look at photos.
Paul brought his
drone and flew it over the party house.
The
drone is a DJI Phantom with a gimbaled camera mount.
One of
our brothers, Dale, could not attend, so we used Skype to
connect with him.
Bill and
Jim talk about old times.
The crew

some formal announcements, we passed the gavel and all got a
chance to speak.

makes a point.

Ruppert recalls some old days.
