The bocce tournament started with a ceremonial first roll by former State Senator Maurice Johannessen who is also former secretary of the California Department of Veterans Affairs. Sen. Johannessen was very instrumental in bringing the Redding Veterans Home to Redding.
Saturday morning started with lots of people, and then the rain began. The bocce tournament of 32 teams continued, but by midafternoon, as the rain continued, we had to close our food court early and held our raffle early. We had been concerned
I hope you are all staying cool and smoke free. Ken and I have missed many Reno Aces games because of the unhealthy air. We are hoping to get to the rest before the season is over.
