Hi, Terri, great news about the reunion! Now I have a cue as to who arniet@sinclair.net is! I am pleased to hear some names that I haven't heard of in a loooong, long time. Like Fe Corazon Tengco, how are you, Fe? And you too, Arnie! Fely? Minda -except that we did cross each other's path in Bayombong Sentro some five years ago, didn't we? Vangie? And Josephine Ludan Dizon, how do you do?
Well, Terri did break the news but we will be pleased to give some space to those who will give their account of the Reunion!
C'mon guys, don't be shy!
Eufrocino Jun Mania

Just got back from the reunion from Tacoma. It was really good to see classmates from 59. Among the boys, I mean Gentlemen, Gene Rivera surprised us by arriving, Primo Costes and his family and then Arnie Tumaliuan(Aniano). Among the Ladies: Judy TiamKegg, Perlita Paluero Elviss, Alicia Medrano Sagasay, Fely Tugab Escara, Erlinda Falguera Quitevis, Evangeline delos Angeles, Fe Corazon Tengco Labayen, and I guess yours truly , also Josephine Ludan Dizon. Some have changed in looks and some has remained the same and makes it easier to recognize them. It's kinda embarrassing when they introduce you to some of our classmates and you draw a blank. We were acting like girls attending prom. We also have the pleasure of meeting fellow Vizcainos. David Yalung came to me to say hi and right away I recognized him. Oh by the way, the guest speaker was Olivia Bayabos Valle, straight from the Philippines. She gave us a good update above our Ama Mater and that's with pictures showing SMU. The reunion was a success and the Tiams and Tumaliuans worked hard to ensure the success of the reunion. Before I forget to mention 2 Pilipino priest celebrated mass last Sunday during the picnic and last day of the reunion. Fr. Vic Tiam and Fr. Orlando Guzman also straight from the P.I. I wish I could tell you everything but it will be too long. The next reunion will be 2008 in Las Vegas and guess whose going to help Marians from Las Vegas? Class of 59 so I hope you could join us. O sige, till next mail. I don't want to take too much of your time, lol. Take care and regards.

W/ Terri's instructions over the phone on 7/9, I sent a "noty" message but apparently it got censored so it wasn't posted.Correction pls, Jun, during our hi-shcool days, I was a mere 4'9" (trying to get taller), and a mere 65 lbs (still trying to gain wt.). Now, at least I have meat in my bones now and about 111 lbs and still expanding. That's quite an accomplishment from the Olive Oyl times.
I got married on 6/12/64 to the same man and my OAO bf since college (1 yr after graduation & am a CPA) and we've moved here to Chicago since 1972. We have 2 boys & 2 girls. Our eldest daughter, Christine is in Arizona & is in real estate. Anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate, pls let me know & I'll hook u up. Next, is my son Troy,( he sings and produces & write songs, in the 90's he wrote & sang some hip hop music & was popular then, but married life stop him from being a singer). He is co-owner of our Mortgage company here in Glen Ellyn, Illinois (West suburb in Chicago). My 2nd son, Michael will be moving to Arizona next month of which "he produced my OAO(one & only) grandson, Jordan Mykal, now 7yrs old. My youngest is Medeny who inherited my nickname & my husband's nickname combined is in the Air Force. Rey (my hubby's nickname here) & I also own a dance studio where we've been teaching ballroom dancing on weekends just for fun since July, 1993. We travel back & forth to our other house in Arizona and Rey wants to move there permanently.
I'm stubborn 'coz I love the 4 seasons so I've not made up my mind yet. I'm not ready to retire yet & I've always been a workoholic. It keeps me young. Altho' I've just had knee surgery on 6/30 but I'm recuperating steadily. Too bad I can't make it to the reunion in Tacoma but my spirit is w/ them.
Anyone that's in Chicago or will be in the vicinity, pls give me a call - res #630-653-8615 or my cell#630-973-9824. I will make sure I'm not around - kidding aside, pls let me know. It's nice to reminice the good old days.
Terri & I talk often on the phone as if there is no tomorrow. To all our class '59 members, join the fun of being one happy big family. Share us some tidbits of "do you know", "what we know" balita from home or abroad, and get us updated where u r, ur family, yourself, others? Maybe u can also share of others who may need our support, increase our comaraderie etc. We are now in that state of being "medium done" (as compared to steak, I will not say well done yet,) be more on the sharing state, more giving, forgiving and think more on the positive aspects going to the retirements stage of our lives.
Until then, as my hubby & I always say, keep on dancing and be happy!

Hi Jun! ! ! !
It is nice for your to have made up a way of getting most of our colleagues if not allto be able to read something about ourselves and recall the past. There are times that I am reminiscing how we were with childish acts, the High School strike, and many more.
Well, briefly about me - I worked with the Bureau Of Public Highways in Manila from1966 to 1973 and then left for U.S. I settled in New Jersey where i stayed ever since.I went back to the Philippines in June of 1974 to get married and back to N. J. after a month, the last was January of yr. 2001.
I got married to Salve, from Mindanao who I met during my stay there for my Highwayproject. We have 3 children - Michelle, Mike & Melissa. Only Michelle is now married where I have 2 grandchildren - Julia 5 yr. & Justin 2 yr.
When I first came to U.S., work in a Civil Engineering Co. where I started to work withjust enough pay to survive and struggled for advancement. I have proved to be same or equaled the knowledge of other engineers and kept on to aspire for progress. I movedto other companies then to The Port Authority Of New York & New Jersey. It was sometime when the World Trade Center was bomb during the first time and i was not in the building where i went out for lunch. I left my job in 1999 to join AMERCOM CORPORATION, Consulting Engineers because i felt it is for better.
In the end of the year 2000, The owner of the company offered me to buy the company but i can not afford it so I have asked other employees to put our money together aspartners and turned the ownership to us. I plan to retire 2 years from now so that i willturn over my ownership to my son who has been working in this company before I joined Amercom Corp.
I invite you to view my Company website: http://www.amercomcorp.comWe are busy on all types of Civil Engineering Project (HEADACHES too). Taking a vacation only means overload of work when back to work.
Tell me about yourself too and keep me in the loop for whatever developments come up.Regards to your family and everybody i know who you may meet.

Hi Jun,
Good to hear from class 59 graduates after over 40 years. Thank the Lord for our health and may a few classmates rest in peace.
I tried to sign in for the blog but somehow I got error messages. It is an incorrect address.
My husband and I are in Arizona right now helping take care of grandchildren, 2 toddlers (boys) and a new born baby girl. Besides, my daughter and family (2 boys and a year old girl) are spending a week with us. Imagine all these very active toddlers to baby sit!!!!
I will be able to have more time to check and reply to my emails as soon as I get back home in California on July 23 after the SMU Grand Reunion to be held in Tacoma, Washington. Classmates attending the reunion are : Tita (Terri) Dela Cruz (? state)
Fely Tugab-Escara (California
Erlinda Falguera-Quitevis (CA)
Perlita Paluero-Elviss (Canada)
Judith Tiam-Kegg (Washington)
Evangeline Delos Angeles CA)
myself: Alice Medrano-Sagasay(CA)
Remedios Ordonez-Guy (Chicago), Mercedes Guntalilib-?(California). Eulogio Santos(Chicago), Jose Lopez(Canada), Primo Costes(California), Gil Guillermo(Florida), Apolinario Barba(California) and Isagani Covita(California) are not able to attend at this time.
Till then,
Alice

My, my! From this far I can almost feel your ire. I truly am sorry.
I've been busy trying to get the blog to work, then I would call/email you and everybody else. Terri, however, I email randomly. And if you point your browser to http://SMCClass59.blogspot.com , I've managed to post her last email to me.
In the last (I think!) email I got, you mentioned having joined the blog and this is great news! And I see Tita's name there, and Gene Rivera, too! But I am still looking for your entry, a glitch must have played some mischief? Don't you think?
I am still trying to solve "the mystery of the missing entry" but it does take time and the world is moving on and people are mad that I have ignored them! So let us start over and get things straightened out, ok?
At this point I've decided to cc: the email addresses that you have sent so as to let them know what has transpired. So to everybody: WELCOME to the SMC Class of 59 on the internet. So what do we have? To those familiar with blogs, we have http://SMCClass59.blogspot.com . So you email me at junmania@gmail.com and I'll share it with the gang or, if you are up to it, you may post your thoughts directly to our blog instead!
You have pictures to share, did you say? Again, attach them to me in an email and I will dessiminate them to the group. We do have a group page with yahoo where we can conveniently upload photos, and files, for example, I'll send the address to you all just as soon as I recall it.
