Aloha ZHS Alum Family,

Took Ernie Higgins lead, and made a slideshow of pics my wife and I took, and posted on my private you tube account at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7El_9JAhGS0&feature=youtu.be

The SF reunion was wonderful, kudos to George M's leadership, Roberta S., and the generation group leaders for bringing this all together! I realize at times it must been like herding cats with everyone so giddy with joy.

Personally, this reunion allowed me to reconnect with some classmates I haven't seen in 40 years, and others for many years. When I met some fo the children of our friends, their growth from babies to young teens and adults was a chronometer that spoke of how many years we've been apart. Also allowed my wife to meet some of the folks I've spoken of so often. Our local ZHS alumni group in Hawaii was the nexus to put us back in touch w/everyone, so many thanks to George M, Phyllis G, and Linda M's efforts of herding cats locally.

Due to file size, I had to dumb down some of the resolution to be able to make it work, so some of the photos aren't as crisp as I would like, but you can recognize everyone. The photos were taken and embedded in chronological order of events for us, and it's my "love letter" to all of the Zama kids I have had the privilege of knowing and growing up with, while we might be a little grayer, we're all still kids at heart!

Hope you also enjoy the jazz track from Earl Klugh, one of my fave guitarists, embedded with the slides, thought they synced rather well.

With Much Love,

ZHS'72Pres/AA

This is the message I get:

Bill, thanks for the heads up, being in the security biz, I did overdo the security, so it's now set to open when you hit the link on my original send.

Fellow ZHS Alumni just need to hit the link on my original announcement, and it'll open on the first try *use for only those with link via our ZHS secure website is a good enough layer of secuirty.

Sorry for the hassle old comrade, you rock too Braddah!

Al

*Assuming others can see this msg string in the event they also had issues trying to access,,, Also recommend seeing in large view format, should warm the hearts.

Great video.  Thanks.  Finally saw the picture of Joe asleep with his guitar.

Allen-san,

Thank you for that!  It was beautiful!  I'm so happy that you and Chris were there at the reunion and that big smile on your face was proof that you were elated to see so many Zama friends after all these years.  (Watashi mo sore wo mite, ironna imi de kandou shimashita!)

Arigato gozaimasu for the music you played during our "jam sessions", too... can't wait to do it again! 

Al,

Thanks for posting the video.  It was nicely done and I do love the music set to it.  It was such a memorable reunion that I will hold dear to my heart for a long time.  Too bad Leslie couldn't make it.  I was so happy to see you and Wally.  You will never realize how much you 2 meant to me, and am so grateful that we were able to reconnect.  Until the next time we reunite soon.  

Always,

Sue (Class of '76)
