Alumni Week 2002
’62
Class of ’62 by Rowena Peroff Blaisdell and Carl Judd ’62 Reunion Week for the Class of ’62 started off Friday for swingers – as in golf – followed by a reception at William “Billy” Ornellas’ place. Classmates who attended the festivities during the week at least once were: from the island of Hawaiÿi - Gayle Desha Aiona, Eluwene Visser Cook, Ruth Luana Klein and Jim McDonough, Jerry Carmack, Mary Lani Brooks Best, Juliana Hepa (who attended with husband Apitai’s Class of 1957) Akau and Francis Stillman who brought some ‘ono poke and ‘opihi to our Grad Night. From Maui: Maile Jean Richards and Glenn Au ’66. From Kauaÿi: Liberta Hussey Albao, Hartwell Blake and Winifred Chow Tam. From California: Charles Beyer, Cecil and Teresa Boyd, Thomas Foglesong, Joseph and Wendy Kahapea, Charlotte Lum, Pamela Ornellas Markham, Sergeant and Pam Napuunoa, and Herbert Pililaau.
From Washington: Mearl Lopes Cooper, Kimo Douglas and Teanini Rosha Roth. Anne Huddy Crawford and Alan DuPont came in from Texas, Ray Fernandes from Missouri, Dwayne Kalani from Arizona and all the way from Africa came Jennie Yamada Kellogg. New Jersey brought us John Lavilla and from Oregon, Deanna Ebinger and Julian McFadden. The greatest number of classmates attending activities during Alumni Week 2002 came from Oÿahu and for the most part, everyone seemed to have a great time. The class presented as its hoÿokupu a Kauaÿi maile lei, courtesy of Lehua Awai Enos, at the opening chapel services on Sunday. The services set the pace and mood for the rest of the week. We received an Honorable Mention for A Taste of Kamehameha (thank you, Honey Potter Pe‘elua for the ‘ono Molokaÿi bread pudding) and while we didn’t win any major prize for Talent Night, we were winners in the “looking sharp” category. Our Class Night dinner at the Koÿolau Ballroom was a huge success with lots of laughs. Mahalo to Pearl Momi McGregor Hall and Barbara Jellings Arnold for putting Class Night together. To all who had a part in making the week a most memorable one, we salute you. Mahalo, Kamehameha, for keeping alive the spirit of friendship, fellowship and family through Alumni Week 2002.

‘67
Class of ’67 by Kathie Reis ’67 Alumni Week began on Sunday at the school chapel. Leighton Tseu was elegant in his Royal Order of Kamehameha cape. The chapel fell silent as Leighton’s rich voice honored Pauahi with an oli. At the Boarder Reception Curtis Kekoa, a pilot for United Airlines, landed his plane at the airport, jumped into his rent-a-car and joined classmates for dinner. Earlier that afternoon, Bruce and Charmain Alu Wong, Samantha White and Sheila Brown Bertram represented the class at the Alumni Tennis Tournament. At the Golf Tournament and 19th Hole Reception, the class was represented on the course by Curtis Kekoa, Rick Meinel, James Winchester, Clayton Leong and Bruce Wong. Waiting for them at the 19th Hole Reception was Edward “Hano” Kalai, James Kincaid, Keith Watson and Augie Ho Giddens. We won the grand prize at the Taste of Kamehameha. “Iron Chef” Vivien Goodwin Tamashiro served smoked meat with fresh asparagus tips. Emerald Waineÿe Winchester decorated the food booth with the assistance of Momi Lutz Fitchett and other classmates providing helpful culinary expertise. At Talent Night Clayton Leong (piano), Charles Kiaha (guitar), Connie Dupio and Brenda Lum Blake (hula) coordinated and choreographed our Senior Bench presentation.
