In Prep, Then       Traced In Tracy, Now      Bobby's Family     Being Reunioned with Prep '66

     manny canillas,where is he? this is a question i have always posed in all the first pages of any organizer or tickler i come to maintain. you are one friend i cannot ever forget. imagine how happy i am to stumble into your e-mail address at one o'clock in the morning here in the united states.
      i am well and very much alive after twenty-two years  of active service in the phil army. i became a farmer after that but have to hibernate for a while in uncle sam's cabin...
      god willing, i will be at the reunion in y2k. i will be at [email protected]

Subject: Bobby  !!!!!!!

Finally!!!
I am truly very happy to hear from you!

I've been looking for you since '91 when I got back from California. (I was there for 10 years). Everybody here thinks you're still in Iloilo, but no one can tell me where particularly. xxx

I'm presuming and hoping that you're in California. Marami na tayong prep 66er diyan. Let's not wait for y2k.  Magreunion muna tayo diyan.  ...

Interesado akong malaman iyong tungkol sa farm mo.  Type ko kasing mag-retire sa countryside.

Bob! kuwentuhan mo pa ako, ha.  ...

Meantime, you can catch up on what's happening to our batch by visiting the websites listed below.

I'll also be forwarding some of the latest broadcasts that I've sent.

Pero this tuesday, 9/7/99 we'll be having a biglaang reunion at Jerry Barican's place 7:30 pm. If jerry can rig up a computer there maybe we can get to connect via cyberspace. watch for my other email about this reunion.

Really glad to hear from you again

Sige na muna,
  Manny

    got your response and i am very happy to know that a lot of us care to get in touch with each other.
    xxx
    as i have told you in my first mail, i came here in the usa,by the way,only last year to work...save and go back,if god wills,to the farm. i will do my best to chat with you on butch's reception.

I'd definitely like to meet my best friend in high school who taught me the values of fair play and how to take the initiative? I hope you're not in the midwest, cause it may be dead of winter or early spring that I may get to go there.

 long time no see, no hear, no speak.  welcome back to the fold.  kwento ka naman diyan.  nagsasawa na ako sa kwento kay eq at jerry.

              i remember the  last time we were together, with jerry and some others,
          at Minggoy's in magallanes. we had paella. can't recall who paid.

              if it takes a retiree hibernating at tracy, whereever that is, to raise
          us all prep sixty-sixers, so be it. and God will will our y2k reunion in
          december 2000.

              keep on punching.

                                EQ

     It was nice of you to look up Manny.    I have been always looking you up.  Now that you have appeared, lets stay in contact.  Do you intend to stay in the US?  We have a list of classmates there scattered all over, including Vancouver.  Perhaps Manny can send it to you? please confirm Manny,
otherwise I can also locate the file in the office.
     How are you?  The addresses above are all the classmates on line.  Last Tuesday, Jerry hosted a party for Butch  Garcia who is here in the PI with his family.  It was well attended.  We had myself, Jerry, Manny, EQ, Eric Ragas, Butch and family
( his youngest is a 5 year old daughter), Emong  Dominguez, Junie Zaballero, Ed Umali and Arlette, Josie Angeles, Lily Pineda, Guily Lazaro, Jess Lucas, Lawrence Tumaneng, and did I miss anyone?  We  good food, good fun, including a chat with Neph Medina who was celebrating his golden birthday. We had to have the party on Tuesday, because Jerry
 leaves with the Pres for New Zealand today.  If you don't know, Jerry is the current Prez Spokesman, and EQ is a Usec for the Public Works.
     We would like to know what is happening out there in Tracy (I could not trace in the world atlas) ?  Take care and God bless you.

Dear Bobby:

I read your e-mail to Manny Canillas.  If I read it right, you are in Tracy,
CA.  If so, you're not far from some of your former classmates, such as me
(Godo Antonio now known as Fred Antonio), Ed Sayson, Bob Torres, Neph Medina,
and Butch Garcia.

Let us get together when Butch returns from Manila in a few weeks.

Best regards,

Fred Antonio

i attempted to chat with you guys but i am still unfamiliar in the operation of this   wonderful machine called a "computer". the web site address i am using belongs to my nephew;  the  eldest son of my younger sister. the computer, of course belongs to him too.

 i am in tracy, california - almost two hours from san francisco. i will be most happy to welcome you  when  you are here. just give me a lot of time to prepare 'cuz i am a small indian here,not even owning a car. i go to and from my place of work on a bike.

          No problem!  I will provide the transportation.
          The following are the telephone numbers where you can reach me.

          Please give me your telephone number, and let me know the best time to call you.

          Had I known you live in the Tracy area,  I could have visited you.  I was
          commuting daily to Lathrop three weeks ago and one day last week.  In fact, I
          was at US Cold Storage in Tracy for a day.

          We are all glad to hear from you.  We hope to get together soon.

          Best regards,

          Fred Antonio
