Happy Birthday Robbie. Sure would love to visit Idaho this year but the closest I'll get is Whitefish, Montana in August. Take care old fella!

It was quite a sight - an estimated 50,000 people gathered at Magic Island at Ala Moana Beach in Honolulu yesterday for the 20th anniversary of the Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawaii.The Lantern Floating ceremony, held every Memorial Day, honors loved ones who have been lost.

Happy Birthday Robbie from this 'ole island dog. All the very best on your big day! I'm disappointed that I wouldn't be able to make our 50th reunion next week.

Guess I should update my page. We built a home from the ground up in Milolii Beach.Just half mile away from the water, with a 90 degree water view. Had to hire an electrician and plumber. We did all the framing, drywall, painting etc. I see you still have your california phone number and email. I got rid of the Black Berry and I phone as soon as i retired 4 years ago. Good luck to you. Time to go on Hawaiian time, ya know. Take care. I am not planning to go the the reunion. I will be giving my daughter away June 1 in Saint Louis. That will be enough time off island.
Best to you and your family

Mahalo for the warm greeting Ed. We've been coming to the islands for the last 12 years and finally bought here in Kahului. You still in Pahoa? We've never been to that part of the Big Island - looks beautiful. If you and Marjorie are ever on Maui, be sure to let us know and we'll get together for dinner. Keep in touch - cell is (714) 305-3801, email is rfhome@sbcglobal.net.

Welcome to the Islands. Marjorie and I have been living on Hawaii Island for 5 years now. We know you will love living in Paradise as we do. Aloha to you and Robyn.

Ed and Marjorie

Robyn and I downsized and moved to Maui last summer and plan to retire (again) this spring (2018). I think 68 is old enough to stop working and to start enjoying more of what Hawaii has to offer.

View from our back yard of the West Maui Mountains.

You''ll be remembered fondly by all of your friends. Rest in peace buddy.

Sorry to hear about Dave.  I saw a lot of Dave during the summer of '68 when he was hanging at the Carstens home.  I just attended Herman Carstens' 65th birthday party last night in Riverside and it was good to so him doing well.  Amazing how many of our classmatess have passed.

Saddened to hear that our old friend Chris McCluer pasted away this month-way too young. He is pictured here (bottom left) in the Carstens' driveway during the summer of '68 along with Gary Rodriguez (top left), Herman Carstens (bottom center), his sister Alma (bottom right) with me behind her.  Recognize anyone else in the picture?

Nancy was in my typing class during senior year and a good friend. The last time I saw her was at our 20th Reunion. What a pleasure it was to see her again,

The Whittier gang during the summer of 1968. We all use to hang out at the Carsten house that summer listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Herman is center, Alma is lower right and I'm upper right. Herman is laughing because I had set the camera timer with barely enough time to make it into the picture. There is also the remote chance he was high at the time.

Congratulations on a life well lived Robbie. I love that Three Rivers area and Sequoia. Hope to see you at the next reunion. All the best in your retirement, Ralph Filippo
