Looking at July 2025

Here's what I posted in our Facebook Group:

Hello '85 Spartans! Cherrie Van Hook, Maurice Harper, Ron R Stainer and I attended Hogan '84's 40th Class Reunion this past Saturday at Lucca in Benicia. We're looking to do the same to keep costs at the very minimum (if not free). Would a July 2025 40th Reunion work for you?

We've identified July 12 as a potential date for the 40th Reunion.

We also are looking into Lucca in Benicia, but our contact has not even reached out to the owner yet (she is on vacation). So hang tight. Date and location are still TBD (To Be Determined).

This is just to "get the ball rolling."

Former IT Product Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric. Photographer at JFPerseveranda.com. Founder, Social Media Manager & Content Creator at Pinoybuilt.com. I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis, Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay. Salamat!
