(07/12/2010) Here is a list of registered attendees for our 60th Birthday Reunion. There's still some time left to register without a late fee, so how about making that list bigger?

The deadline to register with no late fee has been extended to July 16th! Here is the link to the application.

(03/09/10) Hi classmates! I've been terribly delinquent about posting the 2008 reunion pictures. I have uploaded them but have not had the time to label the pictures with names yet.  In the interest of showing them quickly please bear with me with just the photos. Susan Miyaji was kind enough to send them to me a looong time ago. There are two groups, one that Susan took and another that Kathy (Oswalt) Beasom took.

(12/07/2009) I have some sad news to report; our classmate Judy (Higaki) Hoshino passed away last Friday.  I remember meeting her at Kalanianaole school in Papaikou. She used to dazzle us with her beautiful hula dances as well as her cheerleading in high school.

(08/01/2009) Hi classmates! I apologize for not updating this site for a while. I've had some intense family issues to deal with in the last year. BUT, look for many updates soon. Susan Miyaji has kindly provided me with LOTS of  info to post and I will do so soon. Reunion pictures from last year will be shown soon.

My deepest most sincere apologies to Abraham Barcena. It seems he was mistakenly placed in the "Memories" page. I have removed his name and fortunately, it was a very bad mistake on my part. He is very much alive and with us today.

Here is a link to some info for the 2010 reunion in Honolulu. Your hard working (and fun loving) Oahu classmates have been planning this. FYI, there is NO reunion this year.

(02/16/2009) Check out this cool link: We're proud of Miles!
