More on the 10 year reunion and trip to TX
12 Sep 2004 • 05:29 AM • JournalJust got back from TX and am back at work. I am glad that I went to the reunion thing. I did have a good time talking with old classmates. I was struck by how little everyone had changed. Photos I took of everyone are in my History album here.
I was advertising this site to everyone, so if you are one of those visitors, click on the yellow “here” before this sentence. Note that there are multiple pages of photos. I’m still working on the photo captions, but you can see all the photos. Also, I can’t remember who was married, engaged, or just dating. So click the “Contact Me” link on the very left if you want to correct me. I’m just assuming it’s dating unless I know otherwise. Also, if enough people email me, I’ll start up an email list, if y’all are interested. (An email list is basically an email address like [email protected], or something like that, that all the members will receive the messages. So you can email that address and reach everyone, then others can reply, and start up a conversation with everyone.) Vanessa! If you are reading this, email me with the “Contact Me’ link on the left. I need to get some pictures from you.
Other than the reunion, I was down in Brownsville for about 2 weeks. Humby (Humberto Castro, to those new to the site) was strategically stuck in Houston the whole time I was in Brownsville, then got back the day I left! Pinche Humby! I hung out with Mario, Victor, and Cookie the whole time. It was good seeing Cookie. I haven’t seen him since he moved to Madrid in ’02.
On the way back, weather caused me to stay a night in Houston. I stayed with my sister in her new house. I’m so jealous!! I could really use a house in TX somewhere. I didn’t get a chance to take pictures, but will try and get her to do it one day.
ALSO, you can click on “comments” just below this line and to the right to leave comments. Just leave a note with your name. I’d like to see who is visiting.
Hey Shawn….You have a cool website. Thanks for putting the reunion pics. Some classmates have changed and others have not! Sorry I missed the reunion, hopefully I can make it to the next one. It seems like it was a lot of fun! If anyone is ever in the Memphis area please look me up and I can be the official tour guide! “Hi” to all the other classmates that visit this site! Take Care–Marty Pena Killian
Hey Shawn, just wanted to thank you for allowing those that couldn’t make it experience and see how much people had changed. I unfortunately was unable to attend because I was busy at work all weekend. I would have enjoyed being there especially seeing St. Joe and all the people that were there. Sorry I missed seeing all the alumni there… Hey did you all dig up the treasure chest from when we buried all our old memories… I need my baseball glove back… take care and keep in touch. if anyone reads this, my email address is [email protected]. Hope to see you at the next reunion or if i ever go down to visit Brownsville. —Robert S. Rosas
I overheard Beenie talking with the Alumni person. I believe something happened where they just plain couldn’t find the thing anymore. I don’t even remember anything like that, so who knows. -Shawn
FYI for anyone else that wants to comment, click the “Post Comment” at the top, instead of “Reply to this”, just so it looks nicer.
How about enabling registration on your website for starters instead of having everyone post as “anonymous”? ;)
At any rate, I wasn’t in your year, but I remember a lot of these people from the only 2 years I was at SJA. Amazing what a few years and a couple of pounds can do to a person… ahhh… nah, not trying to be rude (as you would expect) I’m afraid of looking in the mirror and believing I’m as old as counting up my birthdays tell me I am.
So… cool to hear you had a good time reminiscing the past and mingling with friends and such. I won’t be able to make my 10-year reunion at ANY school I have been to. I will have to relive it through people’s pics as well.
Good seeing Beenie and the “tocayo” Ad
I am happy to have finally found you…after all these years!!!
It was great to see everyone have such a good time at reunion. Regarding the pictures, please add a couple of adjectives for some of the guy pics…like the larger than life Tom Flores or the slimmer than slim shady Robert Guerra. Laughed at your adjectives for the women.
Take care and I’ll look you up next time I’m in BeanTown.
Sincerely,
Jeremiah
hey shawn, thanks for the pics. i was unable to attend the last night of fun with the rest of the class but i did enjoy the rest of the weekend. By the way, if it weren’t for Ivy (Jeremia’s girlfriend) i would have never known to check your website. She forced me to view this pictures and make comments on them as well. Jeremiah just laughed the whole time. (inside joke we’ll tell you about later). Anyway, we’ll keep in touch.
