We started having reunions in 1987. The first one was at Steamboat Rock State Park in Eastern Washington (camping). The 1988 reunion was at my house in Roy, WA (camping). Following that, we had yearly reunions at different locations around Washington State including Mt. Rainier, Ocean Shores, Natapoc Lodging, and once at Mom & Dad's place in Richland, WA.
