Possible schedules are below, but all should attend the Saturday night birthday banquet!! Friday night and Saturday during the day will be free time/playtime.

At the party, Frederick Hodges, popular pianist with Don Neely's Royal Society Orchestra will provide an evening of syncopated melodies penned in the 'teens and 'twenties by the likes of George Gershwin, Noel Coward, Nacio Herb Brown and other tunesmiths of that glorious era. And your requests.

Bring your dancing shoes.

Casual cocktail attire. Neck ties and period attire are fine, but not necessary. Jerry plans to wear a sport coat over an Aloha shirt. Patricia will be wearing a short Versace and pearls.


Let us know whether you want chicken or steak Saturday night. We just learned that Harrah's cannot do rare steak at a banquet. They shoot for Medium Rare to Medium. If you want it well done, they said you can send it back for some more heat, but with 75 people, the initial service has to be pretty uniform. Sorry. Award winning wines will be served courtesy of Patricia from her relative's winery (Landmark Vineyards, see http://www.landmarkwine.com/story.html) including their limited production Damaris Reserved Chardonnay. Landmark wines will also be poured on the railroad cars.	Saturday Night Banquet

Out-of-towners need to fly into Oakland or SFO on Thursday, Nov. 13, as the train boards at 9:00 AM Friday. Flying out on Sunday evening is problematic as the Southbound train is often late. Its scheduled arrival in Emeryville is 4:50 PM and it will take 30 minutes to get to the Oakland airport and 45 minutes to SFO.
