PLHSFAA and Vanguard Band Golf Tournament - the best ever!

The PLHSFAA and PLHS Vaguard Band joined forces this year to organize the annual golf tournament.  Alumni, parents, and community members enjoyed special access to the Admiral Baker course and the entertainment provided by the PLHS Jazz Band at lunch.  It was a great day and a big success (even the novice players had fun!)

Overall winners of the day were:

Scott Danshaw, Justin Miller and Chris Jones

The Corporate Team winner was Southwest Airlines.

The Class Challenge winners:  '50s Foursome-   Robert Velazquez '53, Donna Freer Gookin '54, Linda Jessop Fox '55, and Don Hammond '50. 

Congrats to our new reigning Pointer Class golf champs!  (Get your classmates together for next year to challenge this group!)

Special thanks to our Corporate Sponsors and to co-chairs Sally Sackett and Kathy Tappero. 

Proceeds to support PLHSFAA programs and the PLHS Vanguard Band.
