30th
birthday of the Los Angeles Center
3/27/1966
This occasion was the 30th
birthday of the Los Angeles Center. It
also commemorated the passing of a milestone in traffic count,
so that the facility was being upgraded. All of this was quite a
party as you can imagine!

Central California/Tahoe
Reunion
The weather was mild, the hills were green, and the champagne
was chilled. That was the setting for a brunch held at Santa
Rosa's Oakmont Village. Overlooking the golf course, one had a
view that matched the excellence of the cuisine on that 6th day
of May 2004.
Organized by Phyllis Rebuschatis, this one of a kind event
was dual purposed. One was to honor her husband Robert, who had
not survived long enough to attend. He was one of Flight
Standards topflight check pilots and all around planner. Second,
the idea was to bring together as many as possible of the ones
that had for so many many years enjoyed the ambience of the
Tahoe Reunion. Ralph and Harriette Anglea cannot be thanked
enough for sharing their beautiful home year after year.
To top off the brunch, Phyllis's son Robert Jr. gave a very
interesting and educational presentation on wine production as
it relates to Sonoma County's weather. He is so qualified he
made a complex endeavor sound simple.
Last, if anyone could provide leadership for the next "Tahoe
Reunion" please check with Jim Holtsclaw, SOAP Executive
Director or Ralph Anglea.

Every now and then Bob Bartley, Don Crist, Bob Hess, and I
get together on a Saturday morning at Denny's Restaurant in
Orangevale and rehash the years in McClellan Rapcon. We all live
in the same general area. I will be leaving the pack in
September as the wife and I are moving to Federal Way, WA to be
near our younger son. After living in the same house for 45
years it is tough to leave but we are getting older everyday and
need to be near one of the family. We are getting tired of doing
yardwork and house maintenance and will lease a townhome and let
someone else do the work. The house sale is in escrow and was
sold in ten days so escrow should be done 9/3/04.Bob
Bartley is still working for Folsom Lake Ford in the fleet
department. Bob Hess, Don Crist, and I are retired. I worked 24
years delivering cars and trucks for a lot of companies in the
Sacramento area after retiring from the FAA. The last 5 years I
worked with Bob at Folsom Lake Ford. We have known each other
since 1956 when I entered the LAX Center when it was at the
airport and I was one of his trainees. Both of us came to the
Mather Rapcon in 1959 and Bob has lived in the same home two
streets from our home. Bob Hess transfered from SAC tower the
same time and Don Crist arrived a little later in the year. Bob
lives in Orangevale and has a half acre with fruit and nut trees
that occupies much of his time. Don Crist does a lot of
traveling in his motorhome enjoying the good life. All of us are
healthy and have our wives so can't complain.
