Horner Jr. and Kathie Reis to get together and reminisce over lunch. Kathie was in Chicago attending a Workers Compensation Conference and Ed graciously invited her to a tour of the Art Institute of Chicago where he is the executive vice-president of development and public affairs. Ed lives in the Chicago suburb Lakeside with his wife and two daughters. Unfortunately, Michael K. Sing, who also lives and works in Chicago, was called away on a business trip and was unable to join them. The class is delighted to offer congratulations to Peter K. Hanohano, who returned home to accept a position as Director of the Native Hawaiian Educational Council. Congratulations are also extended to University of Hawai‘i Professor Haunani Kay Trask for her second book of poetry entitled, “Born in Fire” published by Africa World Press. An enthusiastic “well done” to Anthony T. H. Ho, who was recently promoted to Deputy Director of Kamehameha Schools Information Technology Department. Alika Desha retired from the Honolulu Police Department and moved to Kona to
enjoy the good life, or so he thought. He’s been busy completing video work for Baywatch Hawai‘i, Planet of the Apes 2 and helping classmate Charles R. Kiaha with a film production. Anita L. K. Range Camarillo and husband Jay visited Gerry K. Vinta Johansen ’60 in the Alumni Relations Office in November on their way to a family wedding. Anita and Jay live in Aloha, Ore., and have three grown daughters. In July, more than 70 classmates enjoyed Puakö 2000 on the island of Hawai‘i. They will be doing Maui island July 27-30, 2001, so mark your calendars and make your airline reservations. Melani G. Paresa Abihai and her team are planning “Maui 2001” for classmates. Check your mailboxes in April for more information. KS ’67 is supporting Alumni Week 2001, June 3-10. They are hosting Alumni Talent Night and need judges, bartenders, ticket takers, decorators, menu planners and more. If you are interested in lending a hand please call (808) 842-8712. It is not too soon to think about the 35th reunion and Alumni Week coming up in 2002. They are very interested in your ideas and you can e-mail them at kareis@ksbe.edu. Don’t forget to visit the alumni website at http://ww.ksbe.alumni.org. (Class representative is Kathie Reis). Who said life starts sliding downhill after age 50? The KS
