There were 45 classmates who attended the graduation at the Blaisdell Arena that afternoon.We were given the tradional red and blue lei and a golden medallion besides our diplomas. Prior to the Graduation at Blaisdell there were eight activities held over five days beginning on May 25 through May 29; the highlight being the Graduation of the Class of 2010. We began the festivities with "stag night" on Tuesday, May 25 followed by a tour of China town and luncheon on Wednesday followed by Baccalaureate Mass on campus with the class of 2010; later that night we went to Aloha Tower for dinner and to listen and dance to the music of the 60's at Don Ho's restaurant. On Thursday, we participated in a tour of Pearl Harbor followed by Chinese dinner at the Golden Palace. Friday was the golf tournament at Olamana golf course followed by the nineteenth hole at St. Louis Alumni clubhouse - time to eat ono food and "brag" about our scores and win money for birdies, closest to the pin and low gross. Overall, it was a memorable time for all of us as we gathered to reconnect and share stories of our journeys since graduating from school in 1960. Lots of laughs, stories, ono grinds, beer, singing our Alma Mater and conversations - "talk stories" of the good ole times. The best is yet to come.
