I heard from Marian Weller Boandl recently, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with her husband, Joe. They have missed the last couple reunions but both are very busy. Marian, if you don't remember, started painting at the age of 50, from scratch. Seems she started with water colors but has gone more and more to painting with oils and photography in the last 30 years.
Probably you will remember that Marian had several of her paintings at our 50th reunion, which amazed all of us. We had no idea how talented she was and is in art. Now she has become a artist, who is known, and selling her work. I seem to remember that at one time Marian was selected as the official photographer at the Albuquerque Zoological Society. What a wonderful honor for her!
Marian has roots down deep at San Dieguito High School with her uncle, Earl Weller, who graduated in the first graduating class of San Dieguito. Her aunt, Sylvia Weller Bennett, recently lost her husband, but she lives in Grants Pass, OR. Now blind, she still loves to hear about Solana Beach and Encinitas grads.
Hope that Marian will be joining us in August for our 62nd reunion. It would be wonderful to see more of her work and just visit with her and Joe. Email her and coax them to be with us.
'50 MUSTANGS ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This is about our San Dieguito High School 1950 class in Encinitas, California (North San Diego county). This high-lights our various reunions, of which there have been many! 1950 is a LONG time ago.
