John & Brenda’s Annual Gatherings

Since 2015, John and Brenda Forti have been coming up to The Cape to spend time with family and to relax, but before they head back to Alabama; they usually have a meet with some of their old friends. These friends are mostly from their days at Hyde School but there are also some “Tag-a-longs” from some other Elementary Schools (Like myself and a few others) also. The groups size is usually about 10 to 13 people (+/-), but there’s been some fluctuation the last few years as we transition into “Senior Citizenship” and the changes associated with that journey!🤣

So this gathering and at least one other meet; have become “Quasi-Annual Mini Reunions.” Beyond that, here are some of my photos from some of the annual John & Brenda Gatherings.

Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures at this gathering, and actually…. I don’t believe that I took any of these pictures but I thought that I should include them for reference.
