Hi Jackie: How are you? I hope this finds you well. Just wanted to let you know that I am coordinating a mini-reunion in San Diego (Sept. 19-21 @ Pacific Islander Festival) for our Mainland FDMS 72/AOLG 74 brothers and sisters. We would like to invite any AOLG 72 classmates in the Mainland to come join us. I made arrangements with Hampton Inn for a rate of $99 per night, PLUS a free hospitality room that holds 50 peeps for Friday night potluck and reserving a gathering area for Saturday night after dinner, PLUS free shuttle to/from the festival and airport. So far, I count 18 total people. I conferred with Janice Waller and she will be extending the event to the seven AOLG 74 classmates planning to attend. She received permission for us to set up the canopy at the beach area as a gathering place for all FDMS / AOLG alumni on Saturday at the festival. Please let me know what you plan to bring to the Friday potluck. I think the dishes we had last year was great, including the ready-to-it Filipino food and Berts balut. For Saturday night, Janice is going to contact Tio Chino (Chamorro restaurant) to reserve the patio area for our group and request a special menu for us, if desired. After dinner, we can retreat back to the hospitality area at the hotel. She will bring her instruments again for our jam sessions on Friday night and Saturday night. AOLG 1974 is also planning a reunion at the Festival. Ill contact them to see if they want to coordinate something. Well have basically the same schedule as last year: Friday night - Potluck dinner Saturday - Festival and Chamorro dinner (Restaurant TBD) Sunday - Brunch / depart Ernie
