ALUMNI WEEK -Jun 19 AM -Aloha Friday

After we came back from the Royal Mausoleum, we watched a slide show with music of photos taken from prep school to our senior year. Mahalo to Pat and Pammy for all the time and efforts in putting that together.

Following that slide show, we watched a “Remembering our Classmates” DVD with back ground music to the tune “If He Carried The World” by the Mana’o Company. There were photos of each classmate who passed on.

Jack, Richard, Jeanine, Kammy, Back: Rita, little of Alexis, Mugs Akiona, Nalei and Lenson.



Carol and Trudy watching the photos of the past.

After this portion was over, we went upstairs and the spread of food available was just outstanding. Salad Bar, Main Dish options, even a whole roasted pig was laying on the table. The options were so plentiful.

Live music was non stop……..oldies and modern day tunes.

Mahalo again…to all those who had a part in making that evening so special…….




Randy and Blossom.













Happy Aloha Friday to our Imua69 Ohana……….

• As we get older, it gets more special.
• We are products of Bernice Pauahi’s love.
• If you are used to coming as a couple, it must be tough to come alone.
• You don’t have to sit down and speak to everyone…just seeing everyone brings joy.
• Our Core Group Leaders have done much to keep our class connected and together the best that they can.
• There are so many “givers” in our class.
• We are now at a period in our lives to “think” about our LEGACY. What can we do to provide opportunities for young Hawaiian Children who may not be able to afford to go to Kamehameha.
• We should think about a 60th Birthday Event and our 2014 – 45th Reunion! Let’s contact as many classmates as possible…….reality is…some of us may not make it to the big 50th….in 2019.
  

Being at the Kinau Hale again brought back some fond memories…… The night we were singing on the steps….. Doo Wopping………. ·

PAU 4 NAU… Have plenty thoughts but minimal amount of time this morning. HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY.

LUAU PHOTOS - ALMOST PAU - 6-18 AM

Coming in from Lanai, Donna Kaopuiki Schaumberg and her husband John.

Donna’s sister Debbie was present also with their mom and her mother-in-law….. Trying to check the photo files …. Cannot find so far.







DJ holding up her a’ama crab… the king of the rock, king of the concrete slab…. In 1999, DJ purchased her first ukulele….today, she is an accomplished ukulele virtuoso….. Greg and DJ came in on Tuesday and enjoyed the activities and all the great times at the dorm.

Again, being at the dorms….sitting on the lanai, talking story….playing music….those moments…. Priceless.






Bridget “Pua” Ruane and Wadseley…..excuse if the spelling is off. What a very special and nice man……..

Pua was one of the hard working people at the dorms…. Mahalo Pua for your time and efforts.

Of course, if there was an Electric Slide, or a to the right, to the right, to the left, or any dance going on with music, Pua was there on the floor. Soooooooo much energy!!!

If anyone get email addresses for Penny, Mala, Richard, Barbara, etc, etc… Please ask them if we can keep in touch with them also. We missed the opportunity to ask them.



Kahu Cordell Kekoa was one of the “lunas” for the people serving the food trays. His class will celebrate their 30 year reunion next year.


Aloha and have a great day everyone.

ALUMNI LUAU - 6-17 Dinner Update

This photo get plenty “action” inside. Charley and Layne Soon standing and speaking to Curtis Wilmington and Robert Young…Robert’s head to us.

To the right, you can see Barbara Sawyer, the class “shyest person” …next to Barbara, you can see the slight partial of Trudy Wong Jackson….. Next to Trudy’s head to the right is Clyde Tamanaha.

Now go to Charley’s right arm, just left is the back of B.R. (Brudder Roy)…that is Faithy’s head next to me and walking by the pipe is Pammy Nakoa.

How is that for a photo with plenty action… Wow, my shoulders is broad eh? Good thing you cannot see my okole, which is “broader.”


Tuddie and Kammy Purdy…… It takes a lot of effort to get Tuddie down from that tree and off the island. Tuddie loves the gatherings of our class. Behind Tuddie and Kammy, you can see the back of Alan Kumalae…..Just to Alan’s left side is Scott Rogers and his wife Deena…….. To the left edge, Bill Berman’s wife. Tuddie and I saved our “1969” sign for souveniers.

Those table cloths that covered the tables were for sale for $15.00. The Monkey Pod Bowls with the Alumni Logo were for sale also……. The Kulolo, Haupia and fresh pineapples were so ono too.


And here is a closeup of Barbara and Trudy….Charley talking with someone back there………

Some of you have written that this is motivating you to come to the next reunion. Actually, the motivation will just fade away for most of you. You need to internalize the thoughts and ardently see yourself making it because it will make you happy.

It took Faithy and I 30 years to first hook up with the class and now, we are rock solid in our commitment to serve. When someone gets ill…we will be there with our prayers. When someone needs help…we'll do our best.

Actually, a few years ago, one of our classmates needed some help with a funeral…We got in and put our shoulders to the wheel. We planned the entire funeral with ushering, program planning and participation, refreshments and more. The feeling of aloha and service is so great.

And finally tonight…..Robert Young, his wife, Mrs. Young and Sheri Akiona Adams…..

We should have our classmates come in and perform on stage in 2014 or 2019…..wow…..10 years ago is some work for some of us with borderline bad health or “heart” already. We get Keola B, Jerry S., Jon O. George K., Dwight H., Peter M., Charlene B., Haunani, get more. We have hula dancers…kumu hula…. Hoku P., Sheri, Susan, U’i, Kauanoe, Nalei, Rita, Bobby Lu***, (*** depending on wine supply)

Okay PAU4NAU. KAPALAMA KUP is this Friday folks. We hope our class will be well represented….
Aloha from us…THE HUI O HORNERS R & F
