I am married and have two children . One 36 years old & the other 29 years old. I have four grandchildren 1 boy & three girls. All my family is in California.
*High School Picture*
After I graduated from high school , my dad & grandpa petitioned me. I arrived in the US, Septermber,1964. I live in SACRAMENTO, CA. My grandpa (rest his soul) sent me to school, graduated and landed a job at United Airlines for 6 years then got married and had two children. I am looking forward to hearing from all of my friends @ BCHS.

Welcome to the USA, Vickie and Roger ---Hope that Vickie will still have time and energy to keep the 2012 plans moving now that you are in America. Do try to trek up north to Toronto for a visit but not in the winter since you seem to be covered up despite Spring or Summer (?) California weather.Get everyone in the west of the USA involved with Class'62 plans - okay? Love, Ahmee August 25, 2009 10:35 PM

Okay, Tony ---So, What's happening to the mini reunions and your discussions??? Please update the Class'62 blog since so many seem to be plugged on to this site.

Comments - Uncover Anonymous Fund

Amelia said...
Dear kakabsat - The whole notion of fund-raising, whether it be for the 50th reunion or otherwise should be from everyone's heart. A guessing game, or the need to outdo another destroys the modest feeling of wanting to give - PLEASE just send in those reasonable funds to Marcial and we will all profit in the long run. Sacrifice a luxury and simply keep the account growing-Cheers! Ahmee August 21, 2009 10:00 PM

"Uncover the Anonymous Donor Fund"

From: lslpsych@telusplanet.net: Aug 11, 2009: BCHSClass62 Donation Fund
Marcial,
Thank you for taking on the unenviable task of counting the group's money and making sure it is in a safe place, hopefully making more money until reunion day.
I wonder if I can share an idea to help stimulate others to give, to invite and give to the fund. I call it the "Uncover the Anonymous Donor Fund". It works this way; it starts with an anonymous donor who gives an amount. If one is curious enough to know who is the anonymous donor then one or a group of persons will have to match the amount to "uncover the identity" of the anonymous donor who is then announced to all the members. In turn the identity of the one who matched the amount is kept secret and they then become the next anonymous donor. The identity of the next anonymous donor can only be reavealed if another person or group of persons can match the amount. The "game " continuous on and anonymous donors are revealed for as long as other persons keep mathcing the fund. The last anonymous donor can then be announced during the reunion with fun and revelry (Who is the last donor?, what if the whole group throws in 5 or 10 times the amount of the last donor if the name is to be revealed, etc other ideas to this effect). Some ideas to consider: the donor amount should be something reasonable and "small" so as not to deter others and to prevent the "game" to stall. if donations are larger than the amount to uncover the donor's identity they can be funneled to another donation category such as a "gift " category. I hope this idea can be shared with the others. We can talk about how to start it with seed money. Atong

Hi Atong. I like your idea of an "Uncover the Anonymous Donor Fund" and I hope someone would step up soon to be the first on the line (let's hope a long line) of anonymous donors. But how should that person or persons begin the game? Could this be by that person or persons relaying their donation to Marcial who will then announce the anonymous donation amount to all of us? Benjie
From: LSL Psychological Services lslpsych@telusplanet.net
Benjie, Good of you to endorse the idea. First one I've heard from. Yes, the most efficient way would be that the donation be given to Marcial and he be the "keeper of secrets" announcing a donor has started the ball rolling as well as "uncovering" the donor when the next anonymous person or group of persons match the contribution and so on. If the idea takes hold I think we should be able to raise a little bit more than the trickle that is coming in now. Amounts of Ph 5,000.00 would be reasonable for many to give and continously matching it as we get going. As I suggested if anyone wants to give more than this amount at any given time, it can be set aside as "extra donation" to another side fund. I suggest we keep the amount constant and reasonable so as not to exponentially raise it beyond the "easy" means of anyone. One can always break a "big" contribution to this suggested amount and be the anonymous donor to be uncovered as many times if one wants to. If you and others support the idea, I'm sure we can start sending Marcial the amount and he can get the "Uncover the Anoynmous donor fund" rolling. Atong

Remittance via CHEQUES Suggested

You're correct... Donations should not be made through Bank transfers. I only notice it when I received the electronic receipt from the bank and the charge is almost 25%, excluding bank charges from Export & Industry Bank. Total deductions could possibly run to 50%.
Romyl@eurotech.co.th email Thursday, August 6, 2009 2:55 AM

Due to high costs of sending funds by electronic transfer, I suggest that donations be made in the form of crossed-checks and sent via registered mail. It will take sometime but the need is not so urgent. We may have to open a US Dollar account once the tdollar checks come in.

Search for Herminigildo Limpin Ends

Herminigildo Limpin is no longer with us on earth. He died some years ago in Calgary, CN according to Hermi's brother and sister-in-law who both happen to be old acquaintances of mine here in Jersey City. About 8+ years ago, Leo, Hermi's brother, had mentioned to me about Hermi's untimely death in 1988, but it never occurred to my mind to pass on the bad news to all concerned.

Aurora Lambino , Today at 4:29pm
(link to TEDDY): WOW, that was a great hit... connection was right on. I have been looking for you for a few years now, based on a conversation I had with Freddie Veraque (now in Virginia Beach, VA)..he requested for me to find you as both of you seem to have attended provincial sports competitions together during hi school. Can you email me your mailing & email address?? or ask SEMONA to make the communications going? As soon as I know your email addy.. I will send you a list of classmates, their addresses/tels. Go ahead and make contact. If you are in Baguio, join the regular get togethers they have. Herminigildo Limpin was also last located in Lavalle (or Montreal), but I can not find any connection yet. Have you ever seen him?
