This year our Class of ’63 will be having our 52nd reunion in Las Vegas, coincide with the LACA weekend in September. We usually have our reunions every 5 years but this year will be a milestone for us because our classmates will all be turning 70 years old.  Our classmates are spread out everywhere in the country but the Honolulu group have been pretty active. Whenever one of us is visiting from out of state, we would try to get together in Oahu for lunch. This Honolulu group have been trying to stay active and having fun by getting together at Aiea Bowl to have lunch and bowl few games. So far they’ve done it the last three months.
The picture attached is one of my visits from California where we had lunch at Nico’s.

Aloha everyone. I wish to thank the Lanai High class of 1970 for helping out with LACA in Las Vegas event September last year. We also had a nice reunion with about a dozen of our classmates in attendance. Congratulations to Pinky Blanko and Wallito Tolentino for winning first place in the men’s and women’s division of the golf tournament. Maybe we should have entered the slot machine tournament as well. For those classmates who did not make it we hope to see you next time. As we reminisced the good old days we are always mindful of our classmates who have gone before us. They will always be missed and remembered with fond aloha.

Who would ever dream of watching Hawaii’s top entertainer, Melveen Leed perform at her best friends’ front lawn in December. WOW! Unreal but true.
The evening began with potluck dinner and munching on desserts throughout the night. As in the past, Bobby and Fely Del Rosario Buendia welcomed family, friends & neighbors, to their Christmas Kanakapila. We sat in our lawn chairs which stretched all over the yard, driveway, onto the street, and with neighbors watching from their porches. A humble evening for a moment I felt like I was on Lana’i, especially with my mom sitting to the right of me and my brother Patrick and his wife on my left.
The Christmas spirit was enhanced by their beautifully decorated home and yard with colorful lights by Bobby and the spectacular vocal renditions and hula dancing by super star, Melveen, accompanied by Roland Aton of the once upon a time The Royal Drifters & Larry Debebar.
Bobby and Melveen knew each other from their school days. Ever so humble, Melveen remains a Molokai country gal at heart and has annually given the Buendia’s a cherished Christmas gift, a free holiday concert under the stars. Christmas was truly in the air! Mahalo, Bobby, Fely, Melveen, Larry Debebar & Roland Aston for a remarkable memorable festive celebration.
