The Pearson and Regan families met up at the SAS San Francisco party: former Business Director Bill, Amy (01) and former Director of Communications Anita Pearson; and Ben (01), Bill, Marlene, Ross (05) and Will (99) Regan. Right: Nathalie Vo-Ta Antus (90) and Hal Marz (90).
Tonga Room, San Francisco Day eight saw us flying across the country to San Francisco, where we had our final alumni event. Based on the fantastic suggestion of Hal Marz (90) and Nathalie Vo-Ta Antus (90), we enjoyed the half-hourly rainstorms and fruity cocktails of the Tonga Room, a tiki bar in the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill. Thirty-five guests attended, including many former faculty, such as Carol and Don Cassety and Steve and Robin Brown, who taught at Ulu Pandan in the 90s. Former superintendents Don Bergman and Bob Gross posed for an historic photo with current Superintendent Brent Mutsch, as we joked that this was a bit like having three former presidents in the room at the same time: almost 20 years of SAS leadership between them! The Pearson family – Bill, Anita and Amy (00) – and the Regan family – Bill, Marlene, Will (99), Ben (01) and Ross (05) – had a mini-reunion and continued the fun with dinner after the party. 45
