Subject: LA Reunion - I wish we have one like Chicoy (from Bernie)

Bong, please forward to complete TOM directory

Brods and sisses,

IT WAS FUN, IT WAS MEMORABLE, IT WAS VERY EXCITING!!!! IT WAS A FOURTH OF A CENTURY AGO WHEN WE LAST GATHERED THE SAME WAY, WE TALKED ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPENED 25 YEARS AGO.!!!!!

  1. I wish we had one in LA who is like Chicoy, with a photographic memory who can document minute by minute account of the reunion. Brod Chicoy, we never were able to get the answer to question number 7. Dindo vehemently denied, or should I say, he could not remember any association to a brod who did it inside a car. James would like you to just be forthright and tell us who the brod is.

  2. At this instance I would like to thank Dindo Fernandez, June Buccat, Rey Esteves, Benny with Shiela and Fil Benito III, James and Lee (is this the right spelling or), Rey Reyes and Regie, for coming over and making the LA reunion a success. For those who flew in, I know it was an effort. I hope you all enjoyed our get together.

  3. We appreciated Bong's phone call when the reunion was unfolding. Each of us indeed enjoyed talking to Bong, albeit at his expense, I hope you had the ATT 10 cents a minute. A cordial talk with Benny Malinao which I instigated was probably the top of it all.

  4. For Rey Reyes and Regie, thank you for your hospitality. I really enjoyed the dinner you hosted at the Thai restaurant in Seattle, and of course the follow-up drinking session in one of the "elite" bars in the city. When I asked Rey why we were in that "elite" bar, he said, "brod. kasama kita eh"!!!!

  5. Mga brods wala na talaga akong masabi, please contribute a line so we can complete this documentation of the reunion.

Bernie Fortes, Jumbo 75
