American/International School Manila Reunion
Gloucester, England 
November 1 - 3, 2002

Details are HERE!

Salamat Po and see you in November 2002!
Suzie Dimblad '81

The great American School classes of the Sixties are uniting for the first time ever to hold our very own reunion and YOU ("Indians of old") are
invited!

The dates: October 4-5-6, 2002 
The place: the Hyatt Hotel in San Jose, CA.
The event: the "Sixties Celebration" 

This will be a reunion that we hope will appeal  to all of our classmates from  yesteryear.  A low-keyed, hang-loose, laid-back affair ("Less Bucks, No Tux") that promises to be a most personable and intimate reunion amongst friends. 

We'll meet, we'll greet, 
we'll boogie, we'll eat.

We'll show, we'll tell,
we'll even San Miguel...

We'll do whatever the devil we want because we're in our fifties now and deserve a rocking good time with our friends at a place where everybody knows our name - at the "Sixties Celebration" -our very own reunion!

Questions? Concerns? Comments? email us at: SixtiesCelebration@Yahoo.com

So now that you heard... start spreading the word... 

Jasmin's Daughter Tina passed away

JASMIN ANDRES has been an INVALUABLE member of our Guidance Office since 1974.  JULIUS, her husband, has also been working as the school's electrician for about the same amount of time.  They actually met here at school! 

Tina, the 19 year old daughter of Jasmin and Julius, has glioblastome multiforme, which is a very very aggressive cancer.  On Friday, February 8th she continued her brave fight for her life at the hospital.  However, She did not make it.  That evening she passed away.

All your contributions have been most helpful, not only in paying for medical expenses, but also for covering current funeral/burial expenses.  Dying can be as costly as living.

On behalf of Jasmin and Julius, may I take this opportunity to say THANK-YOU SO MUCH to all who have been so thoughtful. 

Jasmin and Julius are ever so touched  that even alumni from the 50's who they did not know personally came to their aid.  Each time I have handed them a donation, tears have been shed. 

Your kindess reminds me of what I once read by Rev. Henry Burton:

        "Have you had a kindness shown?  Pass it on.
        T'was not given for thee alone;
        Pass it on.
        Let it travel down the years,
        Let it wipe another's tears,
        Till in heaven the deed appears -
        Pass it on."
 

Alums who want to help can still make a check out to Jasmin Andres.

Send it to this address:

For passing your kindness on, MARAMING SALAMAT PO to all of you.

MANILA (Reuters) - A Filipino man was killed and his friend seriously wounded after they sarcastically applauded a student for singing Frank Sinatra's classic "My Way" off-key, according to a newspaper report. 

The 21-year-old student felt insulted when the victims clapped after he sang the song at a karaoke parlor in downtown Manila, the reports said Monday. 

After getting into a fight with the student's friends, the victims left the parlor to avoid trouble but were ambushed outside and shot by the student who was later arrested. Newspapers have said Philippine karaoke parlors have been removing "My Way" from play lists because fights frequently broke out -- for unfathomable reasons -- when the song was sung. 

The song seems to drive many drunken men to commit anything from slight physical injuries to homicide, reports said. 

In a remarkably similar incident last November, one man was killed and another wounded when a brawl broke out in a karaoke bar in northern Manila, once again apparently sparked by the quality of singing. 

Indians and Bearcats!
