The Cast of Characters

Celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of Gene and Chuck Renda, proprietors of the 5-star Renda Resort located in scenic Sacramento, California .... they and their family (and a couple of hangers-on) spent a few days on Catalina Island.

Here is the cast of characters:

Gene and Chuck Renda
Happily married for 50 years!

Elder son, Greg, and the very fine travel agent for this expedition...

Katherine, his wife

Elder giant (I mean son of Greg and Katherine), Nick

Younger (but not much smaller) son of Greg and Katherine, Alex

Gene and Chuck's younger (weird) son, Jeff, and his (not weird at all :-) wife, Julia

And now for the hangers-on portion of the program:

Tom, who bonded closely with his BlackBerry on this trip

and Tristan, the official photographer (and this may be the only picture you see of her on this blog :-)
