Our first meeting will be held at 7:00pm SLAA. Introduction of new officers and committee chairs. Goals, guidelines and upcoming events. The need for a more efficient way of notifying members. Any other items that may be necessary at that time will be brought up. Open discussion mostly, wanting to see more fellow classmates, please we need your help. Past is the past and let by goners be by goners and goodbyes. Again our common goal should and shall be the class, the class and only the class.

The SLAA Christmas Party !!!
The SLAA's Annual Christmas Party was a first for me. Along with fellow classmates Kreston AOKI and his wife Carolyn, Greg FREY, Justin HONDA and myself, I'de say we all had a great time. In total, there were about 200 fellow alumnist and their guests in attendance. Our menu consisted of various types of fresh vegetable salads, a pasta salad, a melody of cooked vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, rosemary chicken, seared ono fillet w/capers and prime rib, yep as much as you want !!
There were numerous raffle gift's won by all. Great entertainment and an overall feeling of total friendship no matter the differrence in ages. Lot's of time and effort went into setting up. This only impressed upon me, that the SLAA has a worthy cause to support and that cause would be us. On behalf of my fellow classmates from the Class of 1979 who could not make it, please let's try next year. For the gang that showed up on Saturday, December 12, 2009, my warmest Aloha and Joyous Wishes to "All and to All a Good Night" .....................Karlton.

University of Hawaii's last away game VICTORIOUS !!
All you faithful viewers,
That's right, you! UH has pulled one out of the hat, so to speak.
A good sized crowd had settled down into the Crusader Lounge that Saturday afternoon, yep, to cheer on the local boys to victory.
As for our class, attendance was rather surprising. Twelve made the arduous journey through the Mccully-Moiliili area to join our cohorts in food and refreshments. Sir's Souza, Keanu, Centeio, Tito, and Melendy charged up along the left flank of the table. Sir's Puchalski, Mizota, Borges and Pilien cleared the right flank of the table to make way for King Greg and Queen Mia and the court's Jester Nakanishi . I hope you all enjoyed this little knight humor!!!!! Mahalo...........Karlton

Finally, here are some of the photos from Las Vegas, courtesy of Greg Frey.
Greg explains the photos of the hat (above and below): "Mia had made it for me at Las Vegas Lids. She did all the colors. On the back, it says 'LAS VEGAS.' So I had every '79 guy there sign the under brim, but Bino Kanoa had to sign the back tag."

Alumni Traditions.......
Hey gang,
This is a brief summary of what the Saint Louis Alumni Association expects of us.
Saint Louis School Graduation Ceremony.
It's been a tradition of Saint Louis School to honor the St. Louis Alumni Class that graduated 50, 60 and 70 years ago at their annual Graduation Ceremony, along with that year's graduating class. Each member of the Alumni class being honored is called to receive a diploma, the traditional red and blue silk lei, commemorative medallions, etc. from the Officials of Saint Louis School. The ceremony and honor bestowed on the alumni classes precede the current graduating class and is testimony of the history of Saint Louis School.
St. Louis Class Gift.
Another tradition, which began many years ago, is the "Class Gift" which is a donation of $50,000 or more to the Saint Louis School by the class celebrating its 50th anniversary. This gift of appreciation for the education, guidance and direction that we received at Saint Louis can be a serious burden on the class if not carefully planned and organized well in advance of that milestone. Many classes start their "Class Gift Fund" as early as ten years prior to their 50th Anniversary. In fact the Class of 1992 has already started fund-raising for their "Class Gift Fund". Although this is not the norm, most classes begin as early as ten years and as late as two years prior to their 50th Anniversary. The earlier you start your "Class Gift Fund" - the easier it makes for attaining and exceeding your goal.
Sincerely Submitted by Karlton Borges for SLAA Executive Director Bob Takei.
Update: As of this writing, Russell Valente has drawn out the necessary
forms to start our "Class Gift Account". Keep an eye open for more information as we get it, it will be posted, please be sure to check with your area represenatives. Mahalo.........Karlton

Constitution and By-Laws Saint Louis High School Alumni Class of 1979
Fellow 79er's,
This is something that I wrote up to give us a structured guideline to follow as the years go by. This is nothing permanent, like other documents set up for structured usage, it's subject to changes once a year. This sets up and decsribes the duties of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. This also explains terms of office, appointments and elections. It also warrants the need for Commitees. At this present time there's only a Sports Committee, who's only activity is the Annual Softball Tournament held during the President's Day weekend. The committee assists the SLAA and other classes with play, fun and fellowship.
Other committees are the Membership and Welfare, whose primary concern is the overall welfare of classmates and their immediate families and continual updates of the class roster or as directed by the President. Another committee, the Internet Committee, has dual tasks. Updating of our class blogsite and photographs of all events that our class participates in. Another committee will be the Programs and Events. The responsibilties are to create get togethers for class and families at least every quarter or as the class desires. Examples are family picnics, dinners, multi-family garage sales, fundraisers and the Reunions. The final and most important one is the Finance Committee. The sole responsibility is to set up and implement a plan to set up the Class Gift that is due upon our 50th Reunion. The Treasurer will be in charge of this committee.
We also cover Regular and Associate Membership. Both have an annual fee of $12.00, payable to the SLAA. The Membership Committee will handle that portion of reminding and collection. Associate Membership is for those who had gone to school with us, but did not graduate with us and family members wanting to join our group. It is covered in the SLAA Guidelines......there is more to follow so please keep an eye in the sky and an ear to the pavement. Look left, look right and keep a watch out for our missing classmates.

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,

Vegas Reunion Update from Tracy
Aloha Fellow Classmates,
Vegas, Babe!!! A total of about 17 classmates, spouses, and SO were in attendance for our 30th Reunion in Las Vegas. All I can say is WOW, what a reunion weekend! I would like to thank our classmates Matt & Kate Jordan, Conrad & Terri Manayan, and Anthony Kijowski, who live on the mainland and joined the rest of us who came from Hawaii. From the time we all arrived in Vegas and attended the get together party at the Triple 7 restaurant, to the UH vs. UNLV football game, the craps table, the golf outing, and finally the Sunday dinner at the Bellagio, there was non-stop fun. It was great seeing everyone there and we all had a memorable time spent with each other.
Pictures from the Vegas reunion will be online soon and you will see how much fun it was! For those classmates who couldn't attend this year's Vegas Reunion, you should plan to attend future class events. See you soon!
Much Mahalos,
Tracy

Join SLAA Now To Support One of Our Own!
All Men of the mighty Class of 1979 have celebrated for years that RUSSELL VALENTE has been a very, very influential member of the St. Louis School Community, as the Admissions Director and later, Principal of our great Ala Mater. Well, now, another one of our own has done well, and brings recognition to our mighty Class. GREG FREY, a long-time member of the SLAA Board of Directors, was elected PRESIDENT of the SLAA at the SLAA ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING on September 2, 2009. Classmates CODY CORREA & SCOTT MELENDY were both in attendance to help Greg celebrate.
This is a HUGE feather in the cap of both GREG & more importantly, the Class of 1979. We can't let this opportunity slip by, however. ALL 1979ers simply must join SLAA, now! What better way to support one of our own then to join SLAA in Masse. Otherwise, we will have one of our Classmates "at the top" without the rest of us there to "back him up". So, call Bob Takei at SLAA to arrange a Membership application. Hey, it's only $12.00 per year.

Class Members Enjoy SLAA Luau At Clubhouse & Crusader Lounge
Our Class Sports Committee, led by Tony Souza and his hardworking crew, stepped up to the plate AGAIN to purchase 4 tickets to the recent SLAA Annual Luau, and Class member, GREG FREY, purchased 3 more!. Consequently, the mighty Class of 1979 had a strong presence @ the event.
"First come, First served" allowed a few of our hardworking Classmates to enjoy the Sports Committee's generosity. Classmates Albert Nakanishi & Mel Pilien joined Greg Frey and his wife, Mia, and their eldest daughter, Samantha (SHA 2006), @ the table. Joining this fun group was SLAA President, David Ordenstein '77 and his wife, Vivian. The food was very Ono and the entertainment very good, especially when both Albert & Greg were called up on stage by the comedian (a Kamehameha Schools Grad, no less!) and both made A to the delight of the crowd.
It was good fun, and hopefully in the future, more Classmates can & will join the fun in masse @ SLAA functions.

Mahalo From Tracy Mizota
Aloha Fellow Classmates,
I would like thank all of the Classmates who attended the Hawaii events for our 30th Reunion. It was especially nice to see Jeff Mathews, who came all the way from Waco, Texas. It was great seeing classmates and their wives at the get-together at the Alumni Clubhouse and at the Buffet Dinner. Reminiscing, catching up, and just having a blast was had by all. For those of you who would like to attend the Las Vegas portion of our 30th Reunion (Sept 18-20) you still have a little time left to make arrangements and to contact me.
We are hoping that many more classmates will forward to us their current contact information either through the class website, face book, other classmates, or by any other means so that we can get future class event info to you. Hope to see you in Vegas!
Mahalo,

I would like thank all of the Classmates who attended the Hawaii events for our 30th Reunion. It was especially nice to see Jeff Mathews, who came all the way from Waco, Texas.

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.
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
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.

Class of ʻ79 on Facebook!
Aloha classmates!
By now, you may have received an invitation to join the new Facebook group "St. Louis High School Class of ʻ79." The group, along with this blog, is intended to keep all of us in touch with one another. Facebook also is a great tool to be more interactive with one another in sharing news and putting together events, like softball tournaments and reunions (hint, hint!)
The Facebook group is not intended to replace this blog. This page will still have the general news, although I'll make sure any news here will also be posted on FB. The FB group page also will make it easier to spread any news, from each of us, and from the class as a whole.
Right now, we don't have a dedicated URL (i.e. facebook.com/ben.gutierrez) for the group page. We should be able to create one at the end of the month, and when we have one, we'll let you know. For now, go to Facebook , sign up (if you aren't a member already) and then search for "St. Louis High School Class of '79." It's currently an "open group," which means anyone can join. (There is the possibility that we may change that in the future to ensure that actual classmates are signing up. However, I'm still going to monitor activity there closely.)
(Also, the class of '78 has a Facebook page, believe it or not!)
Don't hesitate to ask any questions. And, yes, that URL example is actually mine.
Aloha,
Ben. '79

Class of '79 at the Belmont!
Classmates took part in last Saturday's 141st running of the Belmont Stakes! Well, in a contest via e-mail, anyway. Classmates were invited to pick the winning horse, and the winner would get a $50 gift certificate to Outback Steakhouse.
So, what happened?
The final results for the Belmont are as follows:
Nobody picked the winner for the Grand Prize, but second and third place were each awarded $10 gift certificates to Outback Steakhouse. Greg Frey had Dunkirk for second, barely beating out James Yocom's pick of Mine that Bird.
Thanks to all that participated,hope to do this again.

Who You Gonna Call? Reservations for SLHS '79 30th Reunion in Las Vegas, Made Easy Online!
www.pandaonline.com. Yep! That's the ticket. Well, now that I have resurrected as many iconic phrases as I can remember from our era upon the Slopes of Kalaepohaku, let me clue everyone in.
Our Class of '79 30th year reunion committee has endorsed PANDA TRAVEL as the travel agency to help all of us who are travelling to the "Ninth Hawaiian Island" of Las Vegas in September for our SLHS 30th Year Reunion, to include the UH Warriors-UNLV Football Game @ Sam Boyd Stadium on Sept. 19.
As our Reunion Committee works hard to plan for our Class Reunion Cocktail party, golf games and reunion dinner in LV, to go along with the football game, I URGE ALL SLHS '79 CLASSMATES TO BOOK WITH PANDA TRAVEL ASAP. It's so Easy Kine Online (even a caveman can do it!).
My lovely wife, Mia, & I are going to move our eldest daughter, Samantha, back to college for her senior year up in Northern California at about the same time as our Las Vegas reunion, so we are flyin' in & out of California & will drive to meet everyone in LV (no, you guys can't borrow the car, but as the non-drinker, I am certainly destined to be the "Official" SLHS '79 30th Reunion Designated Driver, & glad to do it. LOL).
I cruised the Panda Travel web page, and it was so easy to navigate! All the different UH-UNLV travel packages are clearly laid out and even more clearly described. There are 3, 4, 5 & 6 day packages at 3-4 different Las Vegas hotels, some with meals and some without, BUT all with game tickets, tailgate party tickets and more! Just a few clicks later, and a mere $100 per person deposit, you will be confirmed. It's that easy guys. PLUS, as an added incentive, if enough of us book with Panda, we will all get an additional discount above and beyond the published package prices. So, get clickin' guys! It's that easy. (And I want the discount for gamblin' monies!)
Mia & I selected the 4 Day LAND ONLY package, and will drive in for our fun kine stay at the Downtown Golden Nugget beginning Thursday Sept. 18 (so we will be there in time for the Reunion "Kick-off" Cocktail Party that Friday night). Simple to do, and all it took was a few minutes. Now it's your turn! Sign-up NOW!
All of you by now have the "Sign-up" Sheet for our Reunion Events, both here in our island home and in LV. As Tony S., Tracy M. and others have told us many times, we all MUST plunk down our deposit money by the May 15 deadline! DON'T FORGET! Our Reunion Committee really needs an accurate "head count". So, help them out! Fill out the form. Send in the monies!
As my wife & I excitedly wait for reunion events to unfold, as the Vice President of the Saint Louis Alumni Association who works closely with SLAA & SLS (as obviously does "super SLS guru" Russell V., & Richard J.), I'll work hard to get raffle gifts from SLS & SLAA for our events. BUT, our whole Class needs to join SLAA to show our association and school (and maybe even yours truly) big time support!

Our Class of '79 30th year reunion committee has endorsed PANDA TRAVEL as the travel agency to help all of us who are travelling to the "Ninth Hawaiian Island" of Las Vegas in September for our SLHS 30th Year Reunion, to include the UH Warriors-UNLV Football Game @ Sam Boyd Stadium on Sept. 19.
As our Reunion Committee works hard to plan for our Class Reunion Cocktail party, golf games and reunion dinner in LV, to go along with the football game, I URGE ALL SLHS '79 CLASSMATES TO BOOK WITH PANDA TRAVEL ASAP. It's so Easy Kine Online (even a caveman can do it!).
My lovely wife, Mia, & I are going to move our eldest daughter, Samantha, back to college for her senior year up in Northern California at about the same time as our Las Vegas reunion, so we are flyin' in & out of California & will drive to meet everyone in LV (no, you guys can't borrow the car, but as the non-drinker, I am certainly destined to be the "Official" SLHS '79 30th Reunion Designated Driver, & glad to do it. LOL).

Looking For More Classmates: Are You Up To Date?
Gang,
The Committee has sent out 30th year reunion flyers via information acquired by either the Alumni Class list, the 2004 St. Louis Directory, web-site, previous events, or classmate information. We will be trying to upgrade this directory on a regular basis so information on as many classmates will be current for events for the next 20 years or so.
We have all come along way the past 30 years and hope that in the next 20, maybe more of the Class of '79 will be involved.So please make sure your information is current and your friends information is current.We will be posting a MIA list of those who we need information on.
We also maybe requesting a current picture of either yourself or one with your family for our directory album. Also feel free to leave comments and input here on the class Web site, as we are here to serve the Class of 1979.
May God Bless and the force be with you.

Calling All Classmates! May Class Meeting: May 20th To Discuss Reunion
Aloha Fellow 79'ers,
I am proposing that the Class meeting for the month of May be held on the third Wednesday (5/20/09) of the month, instead of the first Thursday as per the usual schedule. It will be at the usual place, the SLAA Clubhouse. I hope that by then I will have some idea as to who will want to go to the reunion.
I spoke with Tony and it would be great if everyone who may have any classmate information semi-current (25th reunion) or current could attend the May meeting so that we can compile all the information into one sort of current class information list. See you there!
Mahalo,
Tracy
