Marilyn & Dale,

I am one of the Upland Boys from back in 1961 and 1962 along with Art Smart, Rod Becker and Pete Allen. We were the party house in Victoria Cove. This reunion was a great idea however business commitments have gotten in the way. Not sure how my priorities got turned around. Please say hi to all the group and particularly Dean Westgaard. Dean, as mentioned by others, was the person responsible for bringing the Laguna Guard job opportunity to our attention. For many he was also our mentor with his many stories and adventures as well as commitment to life guarding and fitness.

For many of us the Laguna Lifeguard experience was our entry to adulthood. It provides us the sense of commitment, responsibility, concern for others, physical fitness and some great times and friendships. It has certainly played a very important and memorable role in my life. Again Hi to all and tip a cool one for me!!!

Cheers,

Doug Bartlett
