pose beside the Class of '67 Memorial Marker at BHS recently (April 19th, '08). According a school
official, the tree in front of the gym, next to the Class of '67 Memorial Market
had been cut down due to disease. Only the mulched area (shown) remains. Plans
are being discussed about submitting a landscaping plan (marker, tree, park
bench, flowers) to BHS administrators for approval. Upon further inspection of
markers on the BHS campus, this heretofore unknown marker was discovered -

Sonador
means "dreamer" in Spanish. For Classmate Sue Smeltz Gallagher,
Sonador wine is the culmination of a
passion for wine when two couples decided to pursue their dream of winemaking.
In 2001 Sergio a Maria Gonzalez-Arias, Doug and Sue Gallagher formed a company
called Two Crazy Couples, and selected Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to
produce the first vintage of Sonador. Their dream was to produce an outstanding
wine of classic balance for enjoyment by wine lovers everywhere and to use
Sonador to help fulfill dreams of worthwhile charitable causes around the world.
