ALUMNI WEEK UPDATES

Aloha. It’s 817pm, we just PAU F.H.E. and I am sending this “dinner message” before going up for a bath!

Gretchen Ferreira DaFun, Class of 70 something, flew down just to hear Georgie Boy’s name read at the Sunday Memorial Service. She stopped and visited with us at the dorm.

Gretchen and her son Alika, age 23 a Kamehameha Alum also. Mahalo Gretchen!!

Just “hanging out” and talking story on the lanai at the dorm. That seemed to be one of the most fun and relaxing time for lots of us. Uncle Mike Chun stressed to “pace yourselves” and that was good advice. Watch the time. Saturday was Nancy’s birthday so when everything was all cleaned up, food put away, and under control, we sat down and talked story and played a few of her favorite tunes. That was very special. Her little grandson “Kamuakamakana”…..please let that be right…..it’s through memory only…..was able to visit with us along with Nancy’s ohana and close friends….it was special.

Warm up on Friday Night was the Electric Slide on the balcony portion. Within 10 minutes, the forces moves down to the floor. The band had a “huge” repertoire of music and they played for hours………

There was a song that was a hit. The lyrics stated “to the right, to the right, to the right….then to the left, to the left to the left, and kick, kick, kick…” It was so simple, even an attorney could do it.

Jocelyn “Laulani” Noa Donlin was ‘ripping’ up the carpet….those who danced had so much fun! Plenty work out and sweat!

While all this was going on, some people was eating, some talking story. The food was available all evening. The variety of food was so awesome. There was the salad section, dessert, and the main dish was a multitude of choices for everyone! What a job!! Where can you get all this for $20 a person? It was so “AURYTE!”

Oh what a night! Uilani, Pat, Randy, Pammy, Eda and Paul Apo! Just a few of the many who came.

Okay…gotta close for now but will try to get a message out tomorrow for breakfast.

Remember: If you can give us some feedback. Where should we think about going next summer?

What should we do as a class in 2011 when most of us turn 60 years old that year?

So far, we have about “11 people” that gave us some suggestions for a class get together in 2010 and 2011 Birthday. One suggestion came that we “REST” in 2010 and have our Birthday Party in 2011. There is no “wrong answer”……Just send it and we will review the list by the end of summer. Spoke to Nancy today and this is where we are headed for! Aloha to you all. Updates tomorrow morning on Alumni Week.

Note: Debs….can you send us some emails of those shy girls that finally attended our reunion? I did not get Leinaala Mau’s email? She asked to be hooked up but never got it. Okay folks, have a good night,

The Hui O Horners Remember, I make spelling and lots of errors but I don’t have time to re-check my work..it’s straight from the heart and hips….not brains
