Aloha nā hoa papa — E KŌKUA MAI KE ‘OLU’OLU - As part of our 50th reunion celebration in 2024, we are planning huaka’i to the neighbor islands. As the pōki’i say, “It’s going to be epic!”
However, as I’m sure you know, this does not happen without a LOT of work. The following classmates have agreed to be “luna” and have already started planning, but we need your help!
Please contact them offline if you are willing/able to help.
- Kaua’i - Debra (Bargamento) Henton
- Rachelle (Makanani) Nam
- Hawai’i - Keikilani Curnan
- Maui - Kalani (Henry) Wong
- O’ahu - If you wish to help, please contact Roxane “Sweetie” Kimura.

SAVE THE DATE
We will be having a zoom meeting on SUNDAY, JULY 16 for any/all classmates who want to virtually attend. Please save that day. Time and zoom link will be sent later.
NEXT STEPS
We are planning to create a database of classmate contact info for KS ‘74-related info, as opposed to the database provided by the school - which is only to be used for info sent out on behalf of KS.
You may not recall, but when you provided your email to KS, it was with the understanding that it was to receive KS-related news. This separate database will be for classmates to connect with other classmates.
So, if you wish to be listed in this new KS74 database, please send me whatever info you want me to include such as email, phone, work info (although I hope that most of us have been able to retire by now), families, interests, etc.
Please let other classmates, who are not currently receiving mail outs, to send me their email if they wish to be added to this new database.
Also, we’re considering starting an electronic class newsletter. Again, this will be different from the info that I send out regarding KS/PF hālāwai. We’re looking for classmates who are interested in working on this. Please contact me.
Class of ‘73 did newsletters specifically for their 50th reunion, but we foresee this extending beyond 2024.
Until then, I will continue to send reunion updates via Mailchimp.
