Bavarian Inn Reunion 1989:
Hi again,

This is the Bavarian Inn group picture from 1989. I can give you most of the names if you want them. Maybe somebody out there knows the rest.

Turn the Bavarian Inn into a Boat Ramp????
What a sad story! Flooded by the rising water from Lake Ronkonkoma the owner of the Bavarian Inn; (that is where we had our Reunion) has handed his waterlogged Catering Hall over to Mother Nature. Suffolk County wants to turn it into a Boat Ramp! I'm sick!

Wow I could still visualize the Bavarian Inn in the Mid Fifties; it was a Pavilion then. The entire floor was filled with Picnic Tables. You could buy Bratwurst, and German Beer for lunch. City people came to the Bavarian Inn to swim in the pristine water, party, and drink Beer. The owner later got into Catering, which was done Family Style, just as it was done in Germany.
All this history, and the best thing Suffolk County could come up with is a Boat Ramp! I am totally Crushed! Ha! How about jacking up the building, and turning the Bavarian Inn, into a Recreation Center for the local Youth to enjoy. It would really be wonderful if someone provided the youth with a place to go, other than the streets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bummer, that's where I had my wedding reception. I was living in Texas at the time.

Still A Chance for an LRQ Reunion
As you may recall earlier this year, we almost had a Mini Reunion, which was depending on the Lloyd Roberts Quintet, playing at the Flaming Hearth in Farmingville, NY. At the last minute, technical problems with the owner of the catering hall resulted in the Concert and the Mini Reunion being cancelled.

I managed to talk to Lloyd Arrisate from the Lloyd Roberts Quintet while he was playing at the Pine Grove Inn (East Patchogue, NY) on New Years Eve 2007. I was encouraging Lloyd to again run a "Lloyd Roberts Quintet Reunion Concert!" As it turned out, Lloyd was already considering sponsoring just one more Reunion Concert. Lloyd has to overcome a major obstacle; two of the Band members live in Florida!

The location of the concert has not yet been determined!!!!!! Hummmm??????? Wouldn't it be great to have the concert on the Beach in Fort Lauderdale!!! Ha! Ha! Just kidding!

If this tentative event becomes a reality, we could again plan our Mini Reunion, here on Long Island.


From Joan Lalla Garsen:
Hi
On the beach in Fort Lauderdale sounds perfect. Another good place is the Holiday Inn at St. Pete's Beach where Pat Prince had our first Florida reunion. There are pictures of it somewhere on the blog. If it is on Long Island in the summer I will definitely try to make it!
