Happy Days

Ed Futa was in town, so about a dozen of us had dinner with him at Happy Days in Kaimuki.  Mo ordered the food and Milt paid for the meal.  Everyone there contributed what we would have spent on the meal to the class treasury.  I don't know who brought the A to Z Pinot Noir, but Fujikami brought two bottles of Au Bon Climat Pinot and Warren brought a bottle of Chivas.  All the wine was gone by the end of the night.


After Ed gave a little talk about some of his experiences as the General Secretary of Rotary International, Teruya suggested that we go around the room and have everyone tell Ed what we were doing.  Here are my recollections of what everyone said.  If I have a faulty recollection (which is the norm these days), please email me at iolani61@gmail.com with corrections so that I can amend this post.  Better yet, expand on what you said that night and I'll post it.

Mo: Still at UH.
Donald Watanabe: Retired from the Fire Dept... doing nothing
Jimmy Miyashiro: Retired from the VA...taking care of grandchildren
Fujikami: Still working at the florist

Great article. Wish I could have been there. Enjoyed learning what everyone's up to. I think I passed the test of matching the names and faces.
