Ed and Linda Ah Sam enjoying the evening.

Was wondering….Was Ed the Homecoming King our senior year?

He was sitting on that Convertible if my memory is correct. (Our senior annual)

Part of Nancy’s birthday present was to have her family, including her one and only “mo’opunua” join her at the dorm on Saturday evening…..

Cute little grandson and I forget his name. It was……I better not try it.

Victoria Souza came all the way from Arizona too. I just watched the 30^th Reunion Video before sending it off today and noticed a few people missing on our 40^th…… Some people could not make it because of Graduation. Those who came for one night, two hours, two nights, four hours……just your presence….mahalo to you! Some of you were away…I mean away from the island. What’s next? Significant Possible Future Events or Activities: Our 60^th Birthday in 2011, our 45^th Reunion in 2014^th. Setting some long range goals for 2019….or the 50^th reunion. Hmmm….time for one more photo.

This was the best part. Sitting down, talking story at the dorm. Just listening to the voices, the laughters….that was great. Kauanoe, Lady in blue, Nalei, Uilani, Pat, Pammy and Rita by the table with the green.

Three of you wrote it to me asking what my reflections were. Ouwee! I was sending emails all last week about my reflections. Actually, you wanted my David Letterman Top 10 List? Faithy and I discussed some of our highlights early one morning. Maybe in a day or two.

Yes, we have a list of things…the greatest we feel is this “unconditional love” coming from all of you. It’s a feeling that when we come home, we get the “blues” because we miss everyone. It’s the efforts made by those to help us have a wonderful experience by creating a great environment, great food, and a feeling of service to others. By those like Charlie Soon whom we have prayed for especially going through that kidney transplant……he making that extra effort to come and be with us. U’ilani, with her painfully sore hip, surgery coming up very soon…….walking with her cane from the dorm down to Konia field and back up after. It was watching how sensitive Simeon was in helping her down the steps and making sure she had each foot planted firmly on the ground with each step.

Get plenty to say……don’t have enough time right now. Mahalo. PAU4NAU.
