Dear Auntie Dottie,
          Happy New Year and a very warm and sunny good morning to you. How nice it is to be able to call you Auntie Dottie after all these years!!I have been working and living in NY for many years, and it has been a long, long time since I last visited Honolulu, a lovely city where I lived for 3 years until I graduated from MPI in 1971. I was even married at Central Union Church in 1982 when Rev. Chong made all the arrangements ... all the memories are rushing back ...Thanks for all the updates on the Chongs. I will re-connect with Aunty Pearl, Elly and Joy. I used to stay with the Chongs during the holidays. Rev. Chong used to take me in his blue VW Beetle to McCully Chop Suey, his favorite place for lunch. I hope this finds you well and to wish you a happy, healthy and joyous 2008.
                                                                With best personal wishes, Louis Ho '71

Dear Louis,
     How nice to be able to reconnect after all these years. Thanks to your friend Leslie Morioka. I hope you were able to be in touch with one of the Chongs. As I mentioned earlier, Joy's two daughters Jade and Nicole Stanndard are currently enrolled at MPI. Nicole is President of the National Junior Honor Society and both girls are part of the School of the Arts dance program. We are celebrating our 100 Years in Manoa. The students have researched and written a play for the celebration. The middle school have interviewed alumni from Wally Wong '26 to grads in the 2000s. We have a terrific group of teachers and students who have given 100% to this special time in our school's history. I hope to hear from you again. We would be happy to put you on our mailing list, just forward your mailing address to us. It is sunny, windy, and misty in Honolulu. Central Union Church is allowing parking spaces to people who wish to attend the Punahou Carnival. Rarely has carnival weekend enjoyed sunny days. Doesn't matter, the event is always successful. We are having the MPI Alumni Reunion in Las Vegas from July 10-12. Please join us then.
                                                                Aloha, be well, Aunty Dottie.
