CSA USA Reunion: 20 Years After

Twenty years passed us by and yet we just picked up from where we left off. Some have kept in contact with each other and some may have seen each other again after so many years or even after 20 years! But one thing we surely did as we saw each other enter Kurt's home .....a lot of screams, hugs and kisses! Maybe a thing or to of saying to ourselves or maybe spoken out loudly, "You sure have changed since the last time I saw you; or you haven't changed one bit!" It was such a great reunion party...one we'll forever remember. Angelique emailed us all and has eloquently captured that day ........ "Wasn't that a wonderful day? I'm still recalling new aspects of it, even three days later. Exhilarated by each other's company, we ate, talked and laughed for hours. We were fueled by the rays of the 70 degree sun, and the warmth felt in our hearts having found each other again after so long. This was a day we will remember and treasure for a long time to come."

Our heartfelt thanks to Maru Liongson-Zulueta and Marylou Edwards (both from South San Francisco) for organizing and bringing us all together. They were both relentless....even calling us to convince us to go. Kudos to the both of you! We'd like to acknowledge also everybody who came.....from the locals (San Francisco/Bay Area/Northern California) Nelson Ng and family, Deedee Durano-Dungo and family, James Zapanta and family, Gladys Guerrero-Quarante with the sister of Lilibeth Nubla, Rina Alcantara, Robin Santos, Bebang Bartolome-Pagsisihan and Mike Del Rosario.....from Canada, Wendy Lotuaco-Amoranto and husband Jun .......from Southern California - Danette Mamiit-Deomano and family, Martin Casado, Linda Teran-Wuest, Sarah Cantero-Tigno and family, Gigi Garchitorena-Abellera with her sister......from Arizona- Tina Laxa.....and from the East Coast/New York - John Price and Angelique Faustino. Thanks y'all! There wouldn't be much of a reunion without all of you. Of course, who would not be overwhelmed by the graciousness, warm hospitality of Kurt and Dinna Seeberger ......a wonderful big man with an equally wonderful partner in life.....whom we are honored to have as friends! Oh...by the way, Dinna, thank your Mom too for us...she was endlessly taking care of us!

Until next time......."'til we meet again!"
