Aloha! Welcome to the official St. Louis Class of '70 website! The website was designed to communicate our various class reunion activities. With the many photos, it provides a nostalgic look into the past and the present. Our activities continue forging the bond that is unique to the Class of '70. Be sure to check the website periodically as it will be updated from time to time.

We celebrated our 35th Class Reunion with a slate of activities. Chicken Madness co-chaired by Calvin Say and George Lindsey on April 2nd continued the class effort to raise $50,000 for the St. Louis Education Foundation. The thought was, why wait until our 50th Reunion to make this traditional gift? Let's do it now, a little at a time! Back in 2000, we donated $7000. to the Foundation. This year, we presented a check for $5000. to Father Allen DeLong, Headmaster of St. Louis on behalf of the Foundation. Eighty-five classmates participated by either purchasing tickets, and/or coming out to lend a helping hand. More than raising funds, the event was a great fellowship gathering. Everyone had fun! Check out the photos!

We celebrated Stag Night at Natsunoya Tea House on May 21st. Twenty-eight classmates dined on a bountiful Japanese buffet. It was a BYOB evening! Greg Ah Yat and George Lindsey played guitar and serenaded the evening! Oh what fun we had!

The first Annual SLH Class of '70 Golf Championship chaired by Manny Dayao was held at Leilehua on July 29th. The Perpetual Speaker's Trophy (in honor of Speaker Calvin Say) for "low gross" went to Dr. Don Harada. The Perpetual President's Trophy (in honor of yours truly) for "low net" went to Kimo Fuller. Needless to say, this was such a successful event that Pat Lee and Don Harada will make it more than an annual event. Plans are under way for monthly golf outings.

The Class of '70 Class Reunion Gala Banquet chaired by Russ Takata was held at the Renaissance Ilikai Hotel on July 30th. Eighty-six individuals participated in an evening of fun, food, and entertainment. Mahalo to our classmates who made the extra effort to attend - - Randy Awo (Maui), Milton Guerrero (Bothell, WA), Greg Ho (New York, NY), Melvin "Java" Javonillo (Castro Valley, CA), Aaron Kakinami (Kauai), John O'Connor (Marietta, GA), Garret Wong (Anchorage, AL), Thomas Yano (Kauai) and even Harvey Nobriga (Haleiwa, HI). Chicken-skin event of the evening had to be Calvin Say and others leading everyone in an acapella rendition of our Alma Mater.

All of these events didn't just happen. It took the countless efforts of your Planning Committee meeting monthly at the Alumni Clubhouse (over beer & pupus of course). In addition, many classmates came forward with generous monetary donations, door prize items, and more importantly their sincere participation with the various events. Mahalo to everyone!

We don't have a corner on ideas, so share your ideas and join us at the next planning committee meeting, which will be posted on this website, as we prepare for the 40th Class Reunion in 2010!

Ke Akua pu a hui hou kakou
(May God be with us all until we meet again).
Nana e kia 'i a kokua
(May He watch over us and help us).
A ho'omalu ia kokou la
(And protect us).
Ke Akua pu a hui hou kakou
(May God be with us all until we meet again).
E ho'omaika'i ke Akua! Amene.
