How's everything? I wish you, Your family and our Classmates in the best of HEALTH. My family is OK except that for the past 2 weeks, we experience sad happenings like loss of relatives, one who is young -30 yrs. who is my niece from my cousin and also a niece of our classmate (Chita) - Concepcion Manalo died due to complication-reaction from medicine for treatment of her sickness called LUPOS? And another who is my cousin, 70 yrs.more or less died of cancer of the lungs.

So much about it - now back to work and in continuation for the happy events, I am so happy to have been shared with lots of info. about our classmates, your mini-REUNION but not a small one for just counting your attendance was a great success. I envy you all being together, be able
to exchange news, reminiscing the past, tell about your families, etc.

Med is in Good Old RP!

Med is in town, and we will see her on Sunday the 3rd of December! "We" most probably will be the foursome of Terri, Gerry, Conding and moi. Venue is still not settled but I am quite sure that we will meet.

Med had said that we get the whole crowd that came to Bonfal to their place but that will not be possible on short notice. No, I do not mean that they'd even come with ample time allowed, either!

The two following pictures were taken on November 4, during Terri's Mini Reunion. I tried labeling the attendees but failed. Anybody want to help?

It was a pleasure talking to Virgilio "Gil" Guillermo and Evangeline "Vangie" de los Angeles over the phone this week. Gil is in Florida and Vangie in California. And Natalie, daughter of Elnora Gurat-Guyod, too.

Remedios "Med" Ordonez-Guy's Father Has Passed Away!

Trusty Tita has sent an SMS message that she has received word that Mr. Ordonez' passed away on Sunday the 12th of November 2006 - RP time - and that Med is unable to travel. We hope to give you more news as they come in.

SMC Class ’59 Reunion of 4 November 2006
Terri’s Coconut Grove, Km 267 Bonfal, Nueva Vizcaya

Terri called it a mini reunion but in so far as bonding with long unseen classmates was concerned, it was a MEGA event! It started at 11 when the guests started to arrive and quickly went on to lunch. Right after lunch, the discussions began. It was resolved that SMC will hold its own 50th anniversary reunion - not jointly with NVHS - in the summer of 2009. The exact date was left for the secretariat to decide. In attendance were:

Teresita "Terri" Lacson
Perlas Bangad-Olid
Gerardo "Gerry" T. Cabreros
Purificacion "Puring" Cansino-Liquigan
Carmen Covita-Cortez
Isabelo "Belong" Y. de la Cruz
Felicisimo "Dolfo" M. Juan, Jr.
Benedicto "Tito" Ligot
Leticia Logan-Infante
Eufrocino N. Mania, Jr.
Herminigilda Marcelino-Baliton
Leona Mateo-Robles
Emeteria Paragas-Benabice
Herminigilda Ringor-Corpuz
Ana Araceli "Cely" Salimpade-Talay
Conrado "Condring" Salvador
Rosario "Chato" Tito-Macababbad

From the US, Med Ordonez-Guy called Terri's GSM and talked to a few of us, me included. Thanks for the call, Med - it sure livened up the gathering.

We are still waiting for the pictures to post in our group page on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SMCHigh59/ . Data on the attendees will also be posted on the group page shortly.
