Deadlines Approaching for 30th Reunion!

Aloha Fellow Classmates,

Well it seems that time sure flies by fast and our 30th Reunion is now just around the corner.

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

Those of you who have made arrangements with Panda travel know that deadline to pay for your packages is coming up soon. For those of you who didn't sign up with Panda but still want to attend the UH vs UNLV football game, you need to let me know ASAP so I can see if I can get you tickets for the game through Panda.

For those classmates who have NOT returned their questionnaire/deposit make your decisions SOON because the "FINAL DEADLINE" is JULY 20, 2009. You can either email me at tm_@hotmail.com, mail me 2165-B 10th Ave., Hon. HI 96816, or call me 227-6900.

Mahalo,
Tracy Mizota/Reunion Committee

Father's Day with James Yocom at Ahi Fever


This fish photo (and story) comes to us from James Yocom '79:

I spent Fathers Day on the ocean in the Ahi Fever Tournament (off Waiʻanae). We landed this marlin that weighed in at 507#. It took largest marlin. We were on a charter boat sponsered by Tesoro. Hope everybody enjoyed their Fathers Day.

Our Facebook Group: Thirteen Members and Counting


Our page on Facebook is well underway, with 13 Gentlemen of the Class of 1979 joining up so far. Whether or not you got the e-mail invitation last week, please join up! If you have any questions about it, shoot us an e-mail!

Gang ' 79,

The sports committee is taking nominees for the coaching (coordinating) position for the 2010 Softball Tourney this month. Then voting will follow, here on the web site, in July. The new coach's duties duties start on the 1st of August and last until till the end of the tourney in February 2010.

So far, we have two nominations: Mark V. has nominated Byron D., who expressed interest in helping with the coaching duties. And Aaron M. has nominated James S. for another year.

Again, nominations/volunteering will be taken until the end of this month. So send in your selections for the coach ASAP.

Good Luck to all,

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:

  • (1)Summer Bird
  • (2)Dunkirk
  • (3) Mine that Bird.

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.

Sports Committee.
