IMUA69 OHANA....LUNCH BREAK UPDATES

It’s 12:24pm and it’s our lunch break!! Nothing better then to say ALOHA AGAIN!! I am having the hardest time focusing on work today thinking about this Magical Weekend that Faithy and I experienced. So excited, never asked the new attendees for their email addresses. I met “Toy” Leinaala Mau, Susan Akau, Paul Apo, Barbara Sawyer, Trudy Wong, Robert Kalaluhi, Victoria Souza, and a few more which escapes my mind right now.

Man, I just want to keep this Imua69 Ohana going…..moving forward. Which comes to my mind. Is there anything or anywhere that you would like to go next summer? I mean a Wed-Sun or Thur to Sunday event somewhere here in the islands? Can you share with us?

What about our 60^th Birthday in the year 2011? I started asking folks at the reunion about what we are going to do for our 60^th birthday. Believe it or not, some people want to come back to Moloka’i. Some people want to go to the Mauian on Maui and make sure that Jaime Lawrence can come and sing to us? One person said, “what about Las Vegas”…… One person liked Lanai. Do you have any ideas? No obligations, No guarantees. Just curious what you all want to do and then we can pass this on to Nancy and our class leaders.

On Friday, at 5pm, a small group of us were able to go to the Royal Mausoleum (Mauna’ala) hope that is right. We were taught some history by Wayne and Lurline, and we sang had pule and offered a ho’okupu to Bernice Pauahi Bishop.

It was a special time. We went back to the dorms and the music was playing already. We had a class meeting at the dorm and watched two DVD’S. One with photos and music of our class from the 7^th grade to the 12^th grade. The other special DVD was a “Remember Our Classmates” who have left this frail existence. It has been updated. There was a total of 23 men and 6 women on the list that we remembered at the Memorial Service on Sunday.

The music at the dorm was NON-STOP…From the oldies, to R&B, to Reggae, to slow romantic music. What a great job. We talked story and played music till about 230am……

Mahalo again. Will send one more on our dinner break. In the mean time. If you have ideas for 2010 and 2011 (60^th Birthday) please pass it on to us. I spoke to Nancy this morning….she is recovering. Spoke to Jan, she has recovered and Dan went to work. Spoke to Bobby Lu….she is going back on Wed…..her Neil missed her so much. Charley Soon!! One of our class inspirations! Hano Davidson….he came! They were there with us! Gotta run!

I had the opinions of XXXXX XXXX That’s nine of you. I started asking at the Alumni Week Reunion and this morning on the phone.

Kimo’s one liners was great. He walked about to someone and said, “Man you look 20 years younger…………..the a centurion…”

He was the one who said, He was so busy. He was thinking of calling in sick but he learned he was at work already.

There is so much more…he caused many of us to just laugh the night away!! Kimo “Tonto Kowalski” Spencer!

Aloha to you all.
