Class of 1960 Update

For any reason, big or small, or for no reason at all, the Class of 1960 will find an excuse to get together to eat, laugh, talk story and laugh again. We just love seeing each other. Our latest reason was yesterday on February 6, 2012 as the regular lunch bunch went to the Royal Palace at the stadium mall. We have tried many different places, but seem to frequent here because it’s centrally located as well as the food is good and ono loa! We pigged out on the sesame-covered mochi balls with azuki beans! Some of the girls (not going tell you who) ate three or four balls!

At this gathering, we talked about some activities coming up this year, such as:

  • the Lanai Culture & Heritage fundraiser on March 25th at the Mamiya Theatre on O’ahu,
  • the Maui-LACA connection on Memorial Day weekend in May on Maui, and;
  • the upcoming Class of 1960 birthday celebration in Vegas the first weekend in November. Classmate

Angie Perez volunteered to spearhead the November event and has come up with the idea of taking a side trip to Laughlin on Friday. We did that as a class a long time ago and had so much fun on the bus eating, laughing, eating, laughing (repeat all the way)… the bus driver couldn’t believe how crazy we were but he enjoyed it nevertheless.

Anyway, back to yesterday’s lunch, Gloria Obado Reyes was a guest of ours and shared details on the upcoming Maui-LACA connection for this May 25-27. Her follow-up email said, “Thank you for inviting me to your class luncheon. Thanks Lloyd for the TREAT! and Rita for the tip. I felt like a freeloader today… ate till I couldn’t move (my first time to that restaurant), received gi’s galore – Kakimochi packages from Carolyn, Energy Bars from Myrtle, Chinese Fortune Cookies from Rita in celebration of Chinese New Year. I wonder if Kemoi’s cookie message really said ‘he’s
going to win a trip to Vegas soon!’ He sounds like the class clown… enjoyed listening to him, and his beautiful wife Debbie saying how young we all look! Must be the pineapples in us! Also Maggie gave us Wood Roses that she picked from her sister Apol’s yard. Brought back memories, last time I saw wood roses was on Lana’i in our younger days.”

Yep, by the way Gloria, Lloyd treats us often… he will even rearrange golf plans just to feed us! We love you, Lloyd! We knew electing you class president in high school would be a lifetime benefit. A hui hou till next time!
