    About this ebook

    Odes to Sam Luis is a poetry tribute to all of my classmates from San Luis Obispo County, particularly from 19671973, and to the former editor of the Telegram Tribune, George Brand, who, as Sam Luis, gave views of the county that reflected the current events that were taking place on the Central Coast, both good and bad.
    Thank you, Sam. You were an entertaining breath of fresh air.

      George Brand

      (1924-2004)

      A Slo Reunion

      We said our good-byes at graduation

      We were finally out on our own

      College was just one destination

      Some would leave and some would stay home

      It really didn’t seem that important

      Leaving friends and the sixties behind

      No one was thinking reunion

      We had our lives to define . . .

      The first five years sure felt like forever

      As we all went our own separate ways

      Some were moving out of the country

      Some throughout the whole USA

      After ten years we stepped into the eighties

      Where did the seventies go?

      Some were busy raising their families

      Others watched careers start to grow . . .
