UPDATE 2018: Roy Shults is a Grandfather!

From Roy Shults:

Meet Kallias Garrison Manolakas, our new grandson, born April 8 (the old wreck on the left is me). He’s only 1/8 Greek, but our youngest daughter identifies with her Greek heritage, just as my wife does. His first name is very rare, shared by only five others in the U.S. it means “Beaty” in Classical Greek, and was the name of a warrior who fought at Marathon and was later ambassador to the Persian Empire.

Mostly he is just an adorable, unfussy, enchanting baby. I babysit him 25-30 hours a week now. I utterly love him, and enjoy every minute with him, from playing to feeding to diaper changing, and it gives our daughter precious free time.

UPDATE 2017: Susan Chong Wong

I now have three grandchildren:  Henry 3 y.o. and sister Abigail, 8 mos. who live in Princeton, NJ.  They've been visiting now for a month and turned my life upside down in a good way.  

My oldest son and his wife also have a 3  month old, Kai and happily they live on Oahu.  

Thankful I'm healthy and able to keep up with the babies, but barely.  Going to be travelling a lot in the near future with my husband so he better stay healthy too!

Hi! All,


Traveling the orient (Japan, Korea, Thailand, Brunei, Borneo, and Australia) with family this summer.  Son Keoni is home from Dartmouth, daughter, Micaiah is a sophomore at Kamehamaha.  Enjoying retirement, but find I'm busier now than when I was working.  Sorry I missed our reunion, but I was in South America.  Summer is our bonding time with our children and we travel for 2 1/2 months every summer.  The reunion must've been great.  Aloha to all,

Frank Ocalvey

UPDATE 2017: Brian Spitzer

This is weird as I was just looking at the reunion pictures before (yes before) your email.  I think I hear the Twilight Zone theme song in the background.  I also noticed I was only in one photo that I could see (I am camera shy?).  

The reunion for me was great as my first "official" reunion since graduation. I was, however, disappointed that none of the "military brats" showed up.  I have for some time tried to contact Larry and DeeDee Stillson, Peggy McClain, Susie Gerwig and others without any success. After I left for the Academy, Larry and DeeDee's dad committed suicide in his quarters on base at Hickam.  I did see Larry once when he was stationed at the army base as a medical corpsman in San Antonio in about 1972 after I returned from my Vietnam tour. Have not been able to find him since. I thought I heard that DeeDee married Chris Soares?

Anyway, I am two years into retirement, trying to travel while health is OK, playing tennis again, and enjoying Florida.  I am a "Admissions Liaison Officer" for the AF Academy and AFROTC (not a recruiter, BTW) but only mentoring those high school juniors and seniors that are interested in going to the AF Academy or AFROTC to become officers.  It has been fun to reconnect with high schoolers again.  Were we ever that young?

Appreciate your time and efforts for our class.  Many thanks.  

A photo or two?  Need to comb my hair?

UPDATE 2017: Tom Silva

Doing ok for now, I've been traveling with Cindy, but I continue to work for Chevron (full time) in my 9th year of retirement. Also continue to ride my road bike on the weekends. Oh, we did stop by and see Brian and Olena Spitzer  at their beautiful home in Florida last year.  We are enjoying watching our granddaughter grow up...really not much more to report.

I hope you are well and enjoying life.  Regards to all.

Tom

UPDATE 2017!

Do you believe it's been a year since our reunion?  Hope you all are doing well!

I thought I would send out an email to our class to see what they've been up to since then, and got a couple of replies:  one from Tom Silva, and one from Brian Spitzer.  Read on to see what they've been doing!

Congratulations to Jubilarian Award Winner Pattie Wong Heatherly!

The annual Maryknoll Alumni Luncheon was held on Saturday, July 23rd, 2016, at the Hawaii Prince Hotel.  Because it was our 50th Reunion, our Class of '66 had the spotlight.  In attendance were Wendell Konn, Linda Wong Kealoha, Dale McIntyre Lipton, Charlene Leong Santee, Susan Chong Wong, Luviminda Agpalo, Marie Wong Wagner, and Pattie Wong Heatherly.

During preparations for our reunion, requests were sent out for two things:  A vote for the individual who has given the most to his/her classmates and Maryknoll during the past 50 years (the Jubilarian Award), and, of course, donations for our Class Gift.

Pattie Wong Heatherly was presented with the Jubilarian Award for her unflagging service to Maryknoll over the past 50 years.

Our class gift of $12,000 was presented by Susan Chong Wong, to be used for a scholarship.

Here are some pictures of the event.  Many thanks to Linda Wong Kealoha and Marie Wong Wagner!!
