Richard Gregory's induction to FUHS Wall of Fame

Last Friday night was the induction of Richard Gregory to the FUHS Wall of Fame. It was a very special evening. It was the 100th year for FUHS football, (see website below), the 100th year for the Fullerton Fire Department, (the fire trucks brought in the cheerleaders) and to top it all off, the Fullerton Indians won the football game.

There was a good turnout to see Richard and his family with members of several grade levels in attendance. See the attached photo of Richard and his family. In order from left to right: Matt Gregory (son), Linda Gregory Meyer (sister), Richard and his wife Ann, Barbara Gregory (brother Carl's wife) and Chris (son).

The Culinary Arts Students made the food and did a great job in preparing and serving it. They all had ties on and were very formal in their presentation--very serious about their responsibility. We were outdoors, in about the area the old administration building stood. (The next evening the Homecoming Dance was going to be held in the same spot, under the stars). After the awards were given, the band marched out and played two songs (they all looked so young) and then they marched off to the Homecoming Game. It was very nostalgic and special. The school just finished second level walkways to unite the English building, Business building and Humanities building together, so you can get to all three buildings from the second level.

Quite a few of the attendees went on to the Homecoming Game where Richard was acknowledged at half time. Then the group went on to a Tappas restaurant for dinner. It was a fun evening of reminiscences.
