Greetings!

Dear Classmates,

First of all, I would like to express my total amazement at how Mike intricately employed his innate prowess in tracking me down this magnificent city of Toronto. Speaking with him over long distance phone was sheer excitement knowing a high school classmate has revived in me the spirit of brotherhood. Ah, the beauty of friendship is being able to pick up where we left!

The next call came from another classmate, Manny (Baluyot) Rivera, and then from Pilar who informed me that a website has been created for the JRI Class of 1963. That stirred my excitement and prompted me to surf web. And voila! JRIClass1963. I would like to congratulate our webmaster, Corazon (?) for the painstaking effort of putting this up. Indeed, this modern technology has provided us a speedy, effective, and useful tool to communicate with one another, especially in a span of 44 years when everyone has gone his/her own way seeking their own place under the sun. Hard to believe we are all scattered all over planet Earth.

That simple call from Mike sparked Yahoo chatting with Josie, Pilar, Lucila, Manny, Corazon, and who maybe next...?

I am looking forward to our reunion with much excitement and I hope we can be together again.

My warm regards to everybody!

God speed!

Ernie
