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
