Plans for December

Arriving in Cagayan de Oro City from Dumaguete on a Friday afternoon, I quickly found found myself in a bit of a pickle upon reaching my usual El Cheapo hotel which was boarded up and awaiting renovation. Gathering my wits about me I quickly lugged my bag to Cinco Optical where Rey Cinco graciously allowed me to stow my burden in the back room. Walking about the general vicinity of downtown CDO I finally found suitable (translate cheap) lodgings at Yacapin St. That taken out of the way, I immediately called Romy who was cooling his heels at the VIP Hotel lobby. We then proceeded to an Internet Cafe where I showed him my Virtual Real Estate Empire which I had hoped would be a good way to generate passive income for the XUHS 1966 Class's Projects (should the class decide to adopt it).

We then proceeded to Farley's beachfront house at Cugman where we found him hard at work grilling tenderloin tips. Luis soon came as did Pastor who brought a bottle of whiskey. A little later, Pabs, Jimmy and Lew came and rounded up the group. The discussion was all about the latest (gossip) news about the other members of the class as well as projects that needed to be discussed. Big on the agenda was Mario's proposal to hold a golf tournament. Mario not being there, was ably represented by Lew who succinctly relayed Mario's plan of generating funds for a professiorial chair instead of the usual scholarships; the idea being that a good professor would do more good helping many students while a scholarship would only benefit one or two depending on the amount of money raised. That seemed to be a valid point and nobody really raised an objection to the general plan. Later, Lew's proposal to let Mario have a free hand in managing the project was met with muffled assents.

An allusion to a Souvenir Program to be published to comemmorate the Class's 40th anniversary was met with approval with Romy being nominated by Lew as the lead man in the project.

A cell phone camera was produced and some pictures were taken. Unfortunately, the pictures are still in Romy's camera and hopefully, it will get emailled to me for publication.
