| This year's Christmas party was held at the
Officer's Club on Camp Pendelton. We had a fantastic time at great
venue. It was a departure from the style we've enjoyed in past years,
but i think all who attended would agree it was a fantastic party. We
had a large ballroom with a generous dance floor. The Goodall's son
Jeff jr. spun tunes for us, we had a fabulous dinner and instead of a gift
exchange, we donated gifts to the Toys for Tots campaign. The SDP
Members showed their benevolent side and contributed enough toys to overflow
2 large, washing-machine-sized-boxes! The Marines were very pleased
with the load. Here are a few snapshots from the party. See these and more in the online SDP Photo album.

"DJ Goods" did a fantastic job of keeping the party lively with a steady
stream of crowd pleasing favorites. Stumping the DJ proved to be
impossible with his vast collection of tunes.

Big thanks go out to Col. Rick Powell who was instrumental in getting our
motley crew onto the gaurded grounds of Camp Pendelton. And more big
thanks to Bret for managing the follow-though. Rick and his lovely
companion Susan survey the giant pile of gifts that was accumulated.

There was plenty of room in the spacious ballroom to walk around, dance,
socialize and spend time with all our great friends.

They say every woman is a sucker for a man in uniform...
But the uniform doesn't win it this time, as no man in any uniform can match the charm and charisma of Marshall and as expected Marshall comes out the winner in this showdown...

What a great couple Ralph and Kevin make. This would be a perfect
Christmas card. You guys look sharp!

The dance floor was a busy place all night and everybody got into the mix.

Marshall gets a first look at his tab, presented to him by out bartender
Holly. Fortunately, he didn't injure himself when he passed out.
It didn't take us long revive him (just kidding).

Even Santa got up on the dance floor.
|
| This will be tough to top next year, but somehow i think we'll manage! |
