Found!
Lloyd gets some help from Adam Bardisa, whose parents were part
of the
team that buried the time capsule 13 years ago, watched by Beth
Jackson Smiley,
Maria Mena, David Huntsman, Fr. Doug and Laura Smith.

The
successful excavation team: Lloyd Bethel and Kim Brown (kneeling)
and (l-r) Beth Jackson Smiley, Chris Carver, Fr. Doug Zimmerman,
David Huntsman, Laura Smith, Maria Mena, Stephanie and Debbie
Silla.
|
Debbie,
Laura and Chris watch in anticipation as Doug (with some
help from several other sets of pounding and prying hands)
tries to open the well-sealed box.
|
It
was worth the effort. The contents of the time capsule--photos,
posters, video and audio tapes, messages from the excavators'
past selves--were well-preserved and ready for the new millennium. |

Fr.
Doug and Alex Bardisa ponder a poster with photos, ads and
headlines from 1987.

Debbie,
Luis Rodriguez, Chris and Laura enjoy the photo album from their
past.

The
group decided there should be more reunions, and perhaps a chance
to share what they've learned in the past 13 years with members
of today's youth groups.
