Jeanette and Jim Doerfler hosted a picnic for former classmates at their home in Streetsboro. The event was to welcome former Ravennan Donna Bocanelli Snyder for a visit from her home in Reno, Nevada. Donna flew in with her daughter, Carol, to visit with sister-in-law Lena Bocanelli for a week.
We guests had a catered lunch under their great pavilion enjoying the beautiful day and the conversations. Those attending were Larry Giovinazzo, Dora and Fred Pittman, Betty Wolff and daughter Chris, Sister Cecilia Mendiola, Marilyn Porter, Hank Trivelli and Velma Serafin, Virginia Baker and Don Reed, and myself, as well as Donna, Carol and Lena.
When I talked to Donna when she returned home to Nevada, she again stated what a good time we all had together. I fully agree!
