“Reunion 2007 LA, California”

First I'd like to give thanks to our Heavenly Father for giving us the opportunity to meet the family and be together at the reunion.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you for all you and the Californians have done for the reunion.  I'd like to give you, and the rest of the Californians props for doing an awesome job, we had fun, it was a great experience, and I was glad we came. The buffet dinner(mmmm good), the movie night (very touching movie, I loved it), cocoa rice (delicious, good job Joyce), swimming at redondo beach (awesome),bbq on Wednesday (great, and thank you for acknowledging my daughter's birthday), and especially the dinner at Queen Mary (all I gotta say is WOW!) was awesome.Everything turned out great, despite the fact that transportation was KIND OF a hassle, but we (the kids and I) had a remarkable time. It was very nice to be around family, and feel loved. It was funny, my kids told my husband they want to move to California.  That means a lot to me, it means that our family showed my kids a good time.  They cannot stop talking about how fulfilling it was.  Even though they were tired and beat, it didn't stop them from waking up for another entertaining day. 

All I have to say is the reunion was Incredible, and it was pleasant to hook up with family members you have not met, and haven't seen in many years.

I would like to acknowledge the Californians for putting this reunion together.

Dr. Een, you are the superstar..Bert for being a great designated driver ;-), and a caring young man that you are making sure we have a ride when we go places, and hope we weren't too much of a hassle, Jr. Togi, it was really nice to meet you, and great getting to know each other Joyce you have to give up the recipe for that cocoa rice, I thought I made the best but I guess to my kids I still make the best, lol Ona, thank you for the ride after dinner Debbie, great job helping out Esther Grace, you can really show us a good time, Knottsberry was awesome. Tasha, we really needed to get that pedicure :-)

Uncle Gogo, Uncle Togi, Aunt Tasi, Aunt Tonu, Aunt Fa'afiu, Barbara and family, and everyone else whom I have not mentioned. (sorry)

Anyway I would like to say again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for doing such a good job on the reunion, we are looking forward to the next reunion in 2009 at Seattle. 

Please send our love to CA, WA, UT, AZ, and everywhere else are family is at

May God bless each and everyone of you..
