"Chef Schimbor"

COMPANY PICNIC: 9:45 A.M., Saturday, September 4th and every- one was anxiously waiting at the dock to take the boat ride to the picturesque Angel Is- land, where the company picnic was held this year. Excitement was in the air! After loading all the supplies on board we left for Angel Island on the Harbor King (from the Red & White Fleet). From both decks of the boat we had an excellent view of the Bay Area. Upon arriving at the island we were shown our picnic area and Mr. Schimbor, the chief cook, assisted by his wife, started prepar- ations for the lunch. Volleyball, horseshoe and childrens games were played. Mr. Schim- bar's team excelled over Mr. Hallikainen's Gin vollevball. Forrest Watson was the champion hors&hoe player and Mr. Stairs and Mr. Ludlum received the consolation prizes. Dick McGee and Monty Montgomery were in charge of the childrens games. F rom all appearances it looked like all the chil- dren had won a prize or two. Mr. Bramson entertained with his ukulele and Flo Fields sang her special song. Several people en- joyed the elephant ride that took them on a scenic tour of the island. After much food and beverages everyone boarded the boat and returned to Richmond, having had a very enjoyable day. Our special thanks to Flo Fields, the Chairman, for planning and working so hard to make the 1965 picnic a success and to Mr. Hallikainen for taking the pictures seen in this issue of the paper.
