HAWAII
July 16-18, 2004

Twenty five years!  Wow!  Hard to believe that much time has gone by...but what better way to celebrate this quarter century mark than to head back to where it all began...

Eddie Agae, along with Karen Mitsunaga-Burdick, David Nusbaum, Neil Carmody, Carolyn Czar-Delima, Carol Maryott-Agbisit, Lisa Plank-LeClair, Mike Osborn, and Jocelyn Castillo-Arlos created a wonderful weekend full of perfect events and locations to take us down memory lane and help us reconnect to our roots and old friends!

140 in all over 3 days shared in our celebration!  It was wonderful seeing old friends and meeting their families.  The weekend like the others when we get together was filled with lots of laughter, old memories and new memories that we'll be talking about for years to come...

For those who were there, I hope the following pages will bring back some smiles for you; and for those who couldn't join us this year I hope the pictures will help you feel as though you were ~ and entice you to join us next summer in Florida!!

PRE-EVENT ACTIVITIES

Prior to actual planned events a number of people arrived in the islands and participated in a different individual or smaller group activities ~ here are some of the stories and pictures!
Thursday - July 15th
Golfing

     John Adkins, Gary Giametta, Sue Sullivan, Kevin Elterman, Neil Carmody, John Delima and David Nusbaum teed it up around 11:00 at the Navy/Marine Course.  They tell me they were short one player - you know who you are so we'll leave your name off to protect the guilty...
    John Delima took first with a score of 82 (way to go John!).  Kevin kept using his driver around the green instead of his pitching wedge because he "kept going a long, way to go Nancy!"  I hear John D will be laughing at this and the other golfers will understand the commentary...glad everyone had fun - and maybe next year in Tampa we can get more people out on the links - be sure to let us know if you are interested in us setting up something in Tampa!

Hey girls - Sue might be on to something here - a whole afternoon with all these cool guys...golf lessons anyone??
VARIOUS THURSDAY ACTIVITIES

Here are some more various pictures from other activities - if you move your mouse over the picture I'll try to caption them so you can tell who it was and what they were doing or where they were...

THURSDAY NIGHT
PARTY AT CAROLYN'S
BE THERE - ALOHA!

In true Carolyn style - she got the party started!  By inviting everyone those already in town to join her at her hotel for a pre-reunion kick off!

Sue, Kathleen and Karen enjoy those drinks with the tiny umbrellas! It wouldn't be a true Carolyn party without Colleen at her side! The Thursday Night Moana Club!
FRIDAY - JULY 16TH
QUEEN'S SURF PICNIC

The first of the great events...a picnic at Queen's Surf in Waikiki...fun, food, activities and a few surprises for some of our guests that hadn't been to "Queen's Beach" before and didn't know there was more to the name of the beach than just Queen Kapi'olani!
