From Softball 2009 Coach James Santos

Gentlemen,

I would first like to apologize for not keeping up on the current postings and e-mails. While I am honored by the nomination of being your softball Coach for the 2010 season, I would like to pass on a thought, maybe a different mind set. I look at the softball tournament as a time to reflect on memories of the past and enjoy creating new memories, to talk about our accomplishments and our challenges. And, in the middle of all this explore what we have labeled as athletic ability. In between the pain, laughs and fellowship it is a time to reconnect to a time in our life that for good or bad chiseled a part of what makes us the men we are today. While I thank the Sports Committee for sponsoring this poll, I feel there will be no winner but merely a lost chance for involvement by a class member who is reaching out (as we all should). I propose that Byron, Myself and anyone else that would like to be involved to join in and make this a great event. Remember, while softball is the venue for our gathering it is merely a side bar to the fellowship that follows.

In closing Gentlemen without involvement the worst that can happen is that we lose touch with each other. We have several classmates who are trying very hard not to have that happen. Please give them your full support. Even small gestures (like answering an e-mail) give them the boost to continue their effort.

Malama Pono,
James Santos

SPECIAL REUNION MEETING REMINDER!

There will be a reunion meeting on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at the Alumni Clubhouse at 6:30 pm and all classmates are welcome to attend.

From Greg Frey: Let's Kokua Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona, A True St. Louis Gentleman!

The history of St. Louis is rich with story after story of the Men of Kalaepohaku always helping one another out. NO questions asked. If one man of the Red & Blue is in need, another is there. We Bleed Red & Blue, tried & true! It is against this backdrop that I humbly ask for your help.

Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona is planning a "Grass roots" fundraiser for his Campaign for Governor of our Great State to be held the end of this month at the SLAA CLUBHOUSE & CRUSADER LOUNGE. Details are forthcoming, but in the exact words of Lt. Gov. Aiona, in his e-mail to me, he says, "The event would be no frills beer, pupu and would be held at SL Club house."

NOW, to the "I need help" part. Lt. Gov. has asked me to sell at least 10 tickets to this event. Cost has not been announced yet, but I figure $25 or so. I want to sell as many tickets as possible to this event, ALL to members of our Great & Proud Class of 1979. I want to be able to proudly tell the Lt. Gov. that OUR Class bought "Choke Tickets". I asked him to take a look at our Blog page, and told him this request/article would be posted. So, let's not prove me wrong. HELP OUT. BUY A TICKET FROM ME. I will make sure that our Class, as a group, gets proper recognition. What a great way to "kick-off" our 30th Year Reunion festivities by "pitching-in" support for one of St. Louis' more prominent people.

PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE ONE OR MORE TICKETS TO THIS EVENT, and I will coordinate purchase in mass as a bold statement of our Class' support of Lt. Gov. Aiona as he begins what is expected to be a very competitive campaign for Governor of Our Island State. EMAIL YOUR TICKET REQUEST TO ME AT EITHER pgfrey@coatesandfrey.com (work) and/or pgfesq@hawaii.rr.com (home). MAHALO FOR YOUR SUPPORT, of both me and Lt. Gov. Aiona.

P. Gregory "Greg" Frey
Proud Member of the Great
Class of 1979
