Georgia Tech BSU Alumni Group at Home of Aubrey and Carol Bush

January 19, 2019

Thanks to Aubrey and Carol Bush for hosting our January gathering of the Tech BSU Alumni group on January 19. Our last gathering had been at the Petty's where we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Norman and Barbara.

The Bush's had prepared a nice lunch for us in their beautiful house on three wooded acres in the Emory University area. Charles Griffin, Aubrey, Mildred Petty, Frank and Babs Gudger visit near the table.

We, who have known each other on the order of sixty years, jumped right into conversations as we always do. Clockwise from top left: Norman Petty and Bob Petty. Then Mildred Petty and Frank Gudger. Babs Gudger, Barbara Petty and Brenda Nave. Sam Shelton, Barbara and Norman Petty.

Aubrey sounds his gong to notify us that lunch is ready and Barbara and Babs approach the food table.

Aubrey didn't have to sound the gong twice to collect an enthusiastic group around the food table. We enjoyed the food together around the table and, as usual had conversations that were far-ranging. It was a blessing to gather together again and we look forward to the next time.

Our Georgia Tech BSU alumni group had gathered in 2018 in Toccoa, in Hiawassee in 2016, 2015, 2014 and before that for Warren's 90th birthday celebration in 2011.
