Message from Irene and Robert:
We wish to thank everyone who inquired and showed interest in what was happening throughout the year leading up to the Reunion.
To those of you loyalists who made the long trip over this email is our special thanks for your faith, your attendance, your love, and all the fun we had.
Irene : This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this and it was a little nerve wracking, worrying, and hoping that everything would go right. When it was time to say goodbye one group at a time, until the last person..the smiles and hugs said it all and made every bit of it worthwhile. I want to thank everyone for the black pearl earrings. Every time I wear them I think of all of you. The way that you all did it made them even more special for me.
**TO ALL THAT ORDERED JEWELRY AND EXTRA T-SHIRTS & DIVAS T’S : THEY WILL ALL BE GOING OUT IN THE MAIL NEXT WEEK. SORRY FOR THE DELAY. THE AIRLINE BUSINESS IS CHAOS RIGHT NOW. IF YOU HAVEN’T RECEIVED WHAT YOU REQUESTED IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, PLEASE EMAIL ME (SAME EMAIL ADDRESS : ircrhh69@yahoo.com) AND I’LL CHECK RIGHT AWAY (bug Robert until he goes insane).
I certainly appreciate all the thank you emails, notes, and pictures you have been sending. I really love them. Please don’t stop.
I have been sorta hinting at Robert that maybe Maui and Waikiki during June might be an interesting thing to do in 2004. He hasn’t come back from the shock therapy treatments yet but if you guys are interested/curious, maybe you might want to help me along?
Mahalo (thank you) all for having made this past event something special for me and everyone.
UNTIL NEXT, SAYONARA FROM ROBERT AND ME.
