HOMECOMING…. When Leigh Ann and Paul Albers, both Oklahoma City natives, moved back from Virginia Beach, Va., recently, Barbara and Jay Quillian were hosts for a “Welcome Home” Party.
Co-hosts were Mary and Jim Richard and Diana and Jeff Beeler.

Former high school and college friends were at the party as well as a few 5th grade Casady parents since the Albers’ son Donald will go to Casady School.

It was also a rock and roll reunion as Paul Albers, Jay Quillian, Jim Richard and Steve Shelby had the local band “The Chessmen” in the late 1960’s and this was the first time the group had been together for 37 years.

Guests included Marty and Hoffie Smith, Ellen and Tim Fleming, Mary and Tom Kelly, Jill and Tom King, Kim and Joe O’Conner, Susan and Eric Eckman and Annette and Kent Carnahan. Gift from the hosts was the book “Oklahoma III” by David Fitzgerald and everyone wrote personal messages in it.
