Aloha, Kaimuki Class of ’77!
Welcome to your reunion home page!
As the year 2007 approaches, your classmates are warming up the turntable and shaking out their bell bottom pants to put together a 30th year reunion that’s sure to shake your groove thang. Get ready, Bulldogs, we’re going to the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas!
Please mark your calendars and save the beginning of October 2007 for this milestone event. You don’t want to miss out on this one! Plans are still under construction and we’ll keep you informed with firmer details through mailings and postings to this site.
Remember when ten cents could pay for a phone call or bus ride? Your ten cents are welcome! If you would like to be a part of the planning committee or have suggestions on ways to make the reunion as successful as it can be, please contact us. You can send an email to any of the committee members or reply to this site.
Put this in your email address book and write to us: baron@mediabaron.com
And by all means, spread the word. The more who attend, the more fun we’ll have and the more we’ll have to live up to the slogan, “what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas!”
Send in your reunion flyer soon! It won’t be the same without you!
Your Reunion Committee,
Pam, Nancy, Eddie, Aldene, Mingy, Laura, Donna, Dell, Baron, Wendy (and, hopefully, you too!)
I remember when going to Washington Intermediate for a dime you could get either a bus ride home or a shave ice from across the street from McCully Library. And Back Store burgers were a quarter. Maybe BBQ Sticks at Sekiya’s was a quarter too but I always got ’em for free.

hey, I recall a dime getting me a shave ice after school at Kaimuki Intermediate school. I excitedly would try to “flip” that bugga over fast so I could just bite into the bottom (most juicy) and forget that flat, wooden spoon use. I remember Mr. Chock, patrolling around, with his walkie talkie at that time too.
by the way, when did things change from names of “intermediate” to “middle” school?
BBQ sticks at Sekiya’s were the best! You got free BBQ sticks there? You must’ve been a popular guy!
Walking home from Kaimuki Intermediate always meant a stop at Ruger Market for a ten cent Icee or a bag of cracked seed. When I think of all the walking we did to and from school, we deserved that Icee!
a bus ride and a phone call…those are my dime memories. i remember buying a large strawberry icee on the way home from kaimuki high with jocelyn choy…we’d be finished w/it halfway up kaimuki avenue…the we would stop…rip off the icee points from the cup (doubt if we ever redeemed them though!) and then truck on up the hill w/our platform sandals! i don’t think i would make the walk home from high school now…it was all the way up to 9th avenue!
just wanted to say first of all – thanks baron! appreciate all your time! and…can’t wait for vegas ’07!!!!
Hey iluvpickles, we sound like a coupla grandmas telling stories to our grandkids. “When I was your age, we walked miles and miles to school, uphill through the pouring rain, whipping winds and hurricanes, then walked uphill back home!”
Hey – I used to work at Ruger Market – remember?
The things I remember from high school – sitting in front of the school under our tree, sitting in front of Sekiya’s eating noodles, cone sushi and hash, waiting for the bus and spending time with the “gang” and of course John. I don’t remember doing any school work. Oh yeah – making homecoming floats. Good times!
Don’t forget to invite your dearly beloved Class of ’76 to yer 30th reunion!
(you can ignore my sister’s comments above…hehe)

heya laura – sekiyas….ahhhhh – i remember taking my quarter and “contributing” to the other holes in their wall in front by twisting it back and forth while i would sit there waiting for my ride…hehe
