#144) Photos of 2016 Librascope Reunion Published on YouTube

Last November 5th, nearly 100  Libravets and guests gathered for Librascope's tenth bi-annual employee reunion since the company announced its closing in the late 1990's. This was almost twice the number of attendees originally forecast!

The reunion was held at the Acapulco restaurant in Glendale, and included a south-western buffet. As always, it was an opportune time to renew old friendships, and reminisce for several hours.

Throughout the day, several photos were taken which are now available on YouTube for everyone to see. The six minute "video slideshow" of the get together may be viewed by CLICKING HERE. Note, please use YouTube's full screen option in the lower right corner for the best viewing.

    Carl.  Thank you for the pix.  I don' think many folks remember me - - -my fault for being a "loner". You folks do a great job with the ever diminishing group of ex Librascopers!

    PS: I was with Harry Ford, George Rebane, Mark Ferry, Bruce Luther, Georgine Archer, Carol Goldthwaite, Jerry Deitz; et al, from 1958 to 1968 (approx). Disney hired me away from GP/Librascope.   Never the same.

    Hi Carl.
    Sure is great to hear from the Librascope gang, (what is left of us). I can't believe I've been retired since 1985. Just turned 88!
    Thanks for keeping good old L. alive. Your work and all of your "gang" is very much appreciated.
    Take care,
    Chuck Brennaaun

    Hi Carl,
    I enjoyed looking at the pictures. I recognized some of the faces, but couldn't quite make out the names on their badges. I saw the pictures of 3 of my former co-workers though, as well as yourself.

    I really would like to make the reunion one of these days, so that I can say hi to my friends while they are still able to attend. It just happens to occur at a busy time where I'm working. I guess I'll have to play sick for the next reunion; that's the only way to get out of work ;-)
    Thanks for keeping the Librascope Memories active.

    Dear Carl; I was unable to attend the reunion this time again due to health issues. Do you have a copy of the roster of who attended the Reunion? I am pre 1964 alumni. Were there many prior to that year? May I request any other information here that you may have?
    Thank you,
    Vern Larson. 1959-1964

    1. Hi Vern,
      Sorry, but I don't have a list of the attendees I can send you. However, I have asked Georgine Archer if she can help you.
      Take care,
      Carl

  11. Received the following news from Newport, RI yesterday:

    Carl
    Thank you for all your effort in organizing the annual luncheons. It looks like the ranks are thinning, sad to say.

    I also have bad news to report from RI that one of the field reps. passed away last month - Bob Babcock.

    It's a long haul to attend your lunches, but maybe someday I can attend.
    Thank you

    CARL: Thanks for forwarding the great slide show of the Librascope reunion.. Great attendance it was indeed. I recognized Don Tubbs, but I did not see Arnold Peters (my old boss on RAN program)... was Peters there, or is that I just did not recognize him in the photos? I would have liked to attend one of these... but it is an awful long drive for lunch from Palm Springs. I am set to retire from the City in December this year.. I will certainly wish to attend the next Librascope reunion after I am retired and have the time to do things like this in life. Ironically, just after receiving your email, I received a Happy Valentine’s day email from Jill Amidon. She is retired and living on her “North Forty” in Washington State... and says hello to you.
    Regards,
    Jim Sherman
