Sorry to lose another Classmate. He paid for the party but became ill before the Reunion and was a no show. That is all I know.

This would be great for camping on Catalina Island!

🎒 Dignity packed, shelter unfolded, hope carried!

A German startup has blended empathy and ingenuity to create a game-changing invention: a backpack that transforms into a fully insulated bed, complete with solar panels, designed for people without homes.

By day, it’s a lightweight, ergonomic backpack, easy to carry through city streets. By night, it unfolds into a warm, weather-resistant sleeping space, shielding against cold, rain, and wind. The built-in solar panel powers small devices like phones or lights, offering a spark of autonomy and connection in tough times.

Crafted from recycled materials and built to withstand harsh conditions, this wearable shelter was designed with input from those who’ve lived on the streets, ensuring it meets real needs. More than just gear, it’s a symbol of dignity, survival, and hope.

This innovation proves that the best solutions don’t always need high-tech—just high compassion. A small shift in design can be a massive step for humanity. Here’s to inventions that lift us all up!

The Reunion was last night, sorry if you missed it. You could feel so much love in that room. For me I felt it in both directions, sending and receiving.
It isn’t over if you want to join us tonight starting around 5pm at our Bob’s Big Boy on Riverside Drive. Some of our Classmates will have their beautiful classic cars there. Look for the Burroughs banner to find them. Also, we are invited to the Burbank Museum on Clark Street next to the Betsy Lueke Art Gallery. You can park in their parking lot to go to the museum. The time for the museum is Saturday at 1:00pm. I’m told they have a lot of new items, however ~ if you haven’t been there it will all be new!! It is a very sentimental place to see.
