HI, ANA! SURPRISE! AFTER SO LONG, WE GOT CONNECTED AGAIN.
DO YOU STILL
REMEMBER ME?
I NOW LIVE IN KENTUCKY WITH JOEL AND MY TWO KIDS ERIC,19, AND ELLYN,11. I AM A CLINIC NURSE AT THE LOUISVILLE VA MED CENTER AND JOEL IS A PSYCHIATRIST AT THE LOCAL STATE HOSPITAL. ERIC IS A SOPHOMORE AT THE WESTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY AND ELLYN IS A FIFTH GRADER AT THE LOCAL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL.
THROUGH THE YEARS, LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD TO US.
JOEL AND I WENT BACK TO RP LAST YEAR WHEN HIS DAD PASSED AWAY. IF I ONLY KNEW YOUR WHEREABOUTS THEN, WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER TO REMINISCE AND RENEW TIES. I WAS ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH BETH ARBOLARIO (DO YOU KNOW HER? UP CHEM '70) . WE WERE IN MANILA FOR TWO DAYS ONLY. CEBUANO SI JOEL KAYA MAS MATAGAL KAMI SA CEBU.
MATAGAL NA ITO. KUMUSTA KA NAMAN? WILL YOU SUMMARIZE THE LAST 35 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE JUST LIKE I DID?
I HEARD FROM DEL THAT THEY ARE PLANNING A REUNION HERE IN NEW YORK. WILL YOU BE ABLE TO COME? THAT WOULD BE EXCITING. YOU COME TO KENTUCKY WHEN YOU VISIT THE USA. HERE IS MY MAILING ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER: . . .
I WISH TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.
LOVE, EBONG

Patricia Pascual and Franklin Mangonon! How can I forget?
Congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary and on having such a smart
child! If she were 4 years younger, I could have hooked her up with my
son, Eric. Eric is only 19 years old and just a sophomore in college, majoring
in economics. He still needs to grow up and be able to stand on his own.
Did you read my mail to Ana B. about my family? I don't want to be redundant,
so just tell me if I need to tell you about the rest of my family.
About Saudi Arabia, I never went there although I have
thought of it, but I did have a year's stint as a misionary nurse in Hongkong.
Even met Delay and friends on their way to the US there.
I spent a couple of years at the UP CCHP in the early
70's and then emigrated to the US in '73. Went home to get married in '76.
Didn't know anybody's whereabouts at that time so I couldn't invite anybody.
I am looking forward to seeing you again in May. Please
do your best to make it. It would be a blast.
Saw some pictures on Mila's website and learned about
Miss Flora Cruz but I am not done browsing yet. Am just so glad that we
got connected again after so many years. It is amazing what the internet
can do.
It has sure made the world smaller.Please send
my regards to the rest of the group and let the news keep coming. Ana B.
has really done great in making me feel like I was there during Ericson's
birthday and on your silver anniversary.
Love,
Ebong (aka Evelina Ruiz)
