A Tale of Two Reunions-Part Two

It was difficult to gather the class in one venue at one time. Schedules were tough, commitments had been made, duty called more than one batchmate even during weekends. And so Balo advised the class that we should have two consecutive reunions ( and despedida) for our beloved beloved Classmate Fr. Imbo Barrozo who will leave the Philippines for a three year assignment in Kansas.

The first get-together was a Thursday, August 13 at Eastwood City ( More about that in another post). The second one, was two days later Aug 15, still at Eastwood . Imagine our pleasant surprise when long-lost Classmate Glenn Empleo emails a few minutes before the meeting to tell us he can join us! It was a happy day for the Class of '83

Without funfare, the long missing and super Hunky Glenn duck-walks his way into the restaurant...Bagan artista an dating...Dili lang daw basta boylet ini...

Glenn is now married with two teen aged children. He works for the Arab American oil company (ARAMCO) and is based in Saudi Arabia. He finished Computer Engineering at the Mapua Insitute of Technology. Many of the members of the batch, including myself have not seen Glenn since 1983.

Nagkariribok an Class of '83...Si Glenn ini?, hapot ni SS83 kay Larry M? Lord, ayaw tabi pagpara ti-aw sabi ni Fr. Imbo. Dili man irog sadi ka macho si Glenn sadto...

He is the same humble and gentle soul, with nary an air of success that he is. Glenn has migrated to Canada with his family in the early 1990's but has been livng in Saudi Arabia the last few years.

Sabi san Bida, lain ina si Glenn, harayuon na mas gwapo ako didto...Fake impersonator yan! irisip isip baga an Batch!
