E-MAIL FROM JOE ESPINOSA



Joe's recent photo at left and with his family at right


    Hello Bernardine,

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm glad that you were able to put up a website dedicated to PGCHS Class '77. I had visited your site several times and I'm glad to see pictures of my former classmates. Looking at their old pictures gave me the nostalgic recollection of our high school days although I admit that I quite forgot that we used to wear grey uniforms not until when I read an e-mail that you posted on your site.

    I had been in touch with Danny Abarquez, Wenonah Ante (now Hortizuela from her Fil-Am husband), and Ariel Orendain for quite a while when I discovered your site. It was when I chatted with Nonah that gave me the idea to search for PGCHS and eventually linking to the site that says "PGCHS by Bernardine". I sent your website to Nonah and she was so glad to find out that there is a website dedicated to PGCHS Class '77.

    One notable thing that I found out visiting your site is that most of our batch mates are successful in their own right. I also admire how you were able to keep in touch with each other, holding reunions and even putting up a church (is it right inside the PGCHS compound?)

    I spent most of my time abroad (in Saudi and Libya). It was only after about 18 years when I was able to visit Polangui sometime in 2002 when I visited my mother who is still residing in Gabon. I haven't met any of our classmates then because we consumed most of our time visiting places of interest that my family wants to see.

    As I compose this e-mail, I only have four days left here in the Philippines. I will leave for Canada on the first day of 2007. I was hired by a big trucking company in Edmonton.

    My family had been living here in Pampanga since 1993. This is my wife's birthplace and this is also the place where we were able to put up our house. We've got three kids, a daughter who is now 14, and two sons, 13 and 10.

    I think you'll be more confused now that I come into your life as the 3rd Joe Espinosa to add on your contacts. Like you, I was also very shy during our high school days.

    Attached in this e-mail is the wallpaper that I currently use on my pc. All my family members are here. I composed this wallpaper using JASC Paint Shop Pro. Also included here is a picture of our house in Arayat, Pampanga. I will send you more pics as soon as I have time to locate files stored on my cd.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!


    Regards,

    Joe
