I’ve recently been going through the dusty, musky archives that have been retrieved from the non-weatherproof PAARA trailer. I have discovered when PAARA and the Menlo Park CD Radio Club were joined at the hip (March, 1970), and when the first PAARA picnic was (1979 in Huddart Park).
More details, and perhaps some pictures, will emerge as I continue this historical research.

Services to be held on Monday, January 24, 2005 at 17:00 (5pm), with a viewing at 16:00 (4pm) at The Holy Family Sisters Chapel, 159 Washington, 510-657-2468. Driving directions.
According to K6WX, 880 may be congested at that time of day so one might want to take Mowry or Stevenson to Mission Blvd and then head south to Bryant. A Mapquest map is also available.
