Open Letter: Class 61 and Class 86


Ang mahal nating mga ka-klase ng City High,


Napakabilis ng panahon! At tulad ng sabi ni Arthur B, nagiging kaunti ang darat nga nakakabil idiay hourglass tunggal maysa kanyatayo.


Sublien tayo kadi, ang mga araw ng mga pagpaplano at paghahanda sa mataas na paaralan ng City High, limampung taong singkad ang makakaraan sa Mayo 2011.


Ngem aguray pay: we plan to have a mini reunion on the 3rd of November 2009, at 3 pm, Golden Pine Hotel. Ang ating Valedictorian, na si Lt. Col. (ret.) Joe Andaya, will preside. We plan to have a two-part meet: one with our dear classmates, and later on with members of Class 1986, who will be celebrating their Silver Anniversary.


This notice serves as an open invitation for all Baguio City High School Class 1961 at the 3 pm Mini-reunion, and with Class 1986 at the 4:30 pm Class 1961-Class 1986 Planning Meeting at the same venue.


Ludy B-A and Evelyn D-B will co-host this event.


Sa ating mga kamag-aral na nasa Baguio, please make it a point to come and attend the mini-reunion in November 2009, and the Big One in May 2011. At sa mga Klasmeyts (another Arthur word) na nasa naibayong dagat, huwag sana ninyong kalilumutan na bumili ng air tickets to the Philippines, together with your loved ones, for the Golden Reunion. Guaranteed, na kayo ay sumaya sa pakipagkita sa mga kaibigan, na matagal na nawalay sa ating mga paninigin.


At ano naman ang ating paguusapan, o kaya agenda, sa Mini-Reunion? Paki-basa lang po ang mga noticias na nakasulat sa blog, lalo na yung mga nakasulat noong Mayo 2009. We have some pre-Reunion issues including membership campaign (calling all 61 classmates, please get in touch with your contact details at the email address provided below). In addition, there are a number of worthy and exciting projects which will require our time and resources. So a fund raising campaign needs to be discussed including those already proposed, particularly by Arthur B. And special social events for Class 61, joint reunion events with Class 86. We will need also to discuss, some preliminary thoughts on post-reunion issues.


At bukod sa mga puntos na nakasulat sa blog, we need to think of a CLASS 1961 REUNION SOUVENIR PROGRAM, possibly a pamphlet format which will contain some thoughts, history, excerpts, photographs, profiles. Along with some advertising to cover the costs, if this is at all possible.


Do drop a line, if you are able to attend, or if you have some thoughts about the reunion as well as special events exclusively for Class 1961, in May 2011. Umali tayo am-ammin, a. Salamat po!

Thank you much, Rudy ,
The updated class 61 directory shall be a useful tool when I get to San Francisco this October and for the piece of video which made me nostalgic and wanting to go home and retire maybe. I really appreciate your kindness and patience. E-mailed Evelyn the same day I received her message but no response from her yet. Ngamin, nag-adu ti inquiries ko caniana. I do not know how to spell in Ilocano. anyway, say hello to your family. Keep me posted, ok!

Hey Gloria,

I'm headed to DisneyWorld - Oct 3 to Oct 10; and I was planning to drive to Plantation, FL and visit you. I guess, I'll just stick around Orlando with 'Miki and Mini' since you're on your way to California.

On the another hand, I encourage you to plan going home to Baguio for a short vacation; and join class61 and class86 on a scheduled mini-reunion in November.

To my Klass-meets: Lou and Evelyn,

Did the two of you get connected?

Lourdes was trying to direct a call to Evelyn's Bangkok land line not realizing that Evelyn is in Seattle. Lourdes wanted to arrange a 'change of date' for the Baguio mini-reunion due to schedule conflicts of her RP travel plans.

I hope everyone is flexible on the new-agreed reunion date so you all can share & enjoy the camaraderie of former HS classmates.
