Aloha, Mr. Foster

Dear Saint Louis Family,

I am sorry to report that our former teacher and Dean of Discipline, Lt. Col Thomas Foster, "Mr. Foster" to most of us, passed away on October 19 in Hawaii while surrounded by his family.

Many students remember him patrolling the halls of Kalaepohaku in the seventies; for some he was their "adversary" and others who were fortunate to have him as a teacher remember the stories he would tell of his tours of duty. He was a steadfast supporter of the development of many young boys who arrived at St. Louis into the fine young men that left the campus upon graduation.

For those who can attend, a committal service will be held at The National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, November 3rd at 11:30 a.m. Please pass this information on to any of the St. Louis family that he has touched and keep his wife, Ruth; two sons, Thomas, Jr. and Michael; and two daughters, Christine and Denise in your prayers. Thank you for allowing me to share this information with you.

Aloha,
John Ornelles SLHS '80
Hawaiian Memorial Park Mortuary

Final Reunion Recap

All those who participated,

For all of us who participated with most of the events thanks, I had a whole lot of fun, especially reconnecting with everyone, fabulous. Big time Mahalos to Tracy for his undaunted efforts put forward to make all a success. However, there was a $400 shortfall for our banquet night. The shortfall comes from purchasing grabbag/raffle prizes and short on the numbers in attendance. Please guys, don't hesitate, give a donation or contribution to recover some of his shortfall, out of all fairness please kokua. Your comments are appreciated call Karlton @ #286-8727 or email Tony at mrt96734@hotmail.com

Hey gang,

Monthly meetings for the Class of 1979 are held on the first Wednesday of the month. For November, it will be the 4th at 6:30 p.m., with the meeting to start at 7 p.m. I ask that all interested please show up. We all meet with one common bond, to see our class get together as one, We need fresh members, fresh ideas and above all, the desire to keep our class strong.

Currently we have had three officers for the longest time: they are President Mark Villanueva, Secretary Greg Perry and Treasurer Michael Meyer. So far we have just one committee and that's the Sports Committee, chaired by Austin Keanu and Co'd by Anthony Souza.

Meetings last for about an hour. again, please attend and voice your opinion. Thank You!

UH Away Game Get-Togethers

Crusader '79ers,

We didn't receive conformation from classmates except (Mel P.) for this weeks game in Idaho (11:00 a.m.) so we didn't reserve space at the St.Louis Clubhouse for any get-together. Even though it's kinda early for drinking, classmates are still welcomed to go to the clubhouse.

Oct 31,2009 is the UH next away game scheduled. Please contact Karlton B.if interested in getting together for that game.

Mahalo!
