Harry took Terence and me to Visit Denver Fernandez at his home. We met Denver's wife and her mother. Denver had a serious operation to get blood flow into his foot. If the operation could not be done, he could have lost a leg. Harry persuaded him to come for the mini-reunion but did not succeed.
We went by Poka's house to visit him. His car was not there. So we could not see him.
Harry then took Terence, Tessy and me to his house for a fabulous lunch. Cherry is a great cook and knows how to be a great host. I heard she had given a great party at the second reunion that I missed last year.
Terence did a great job arranging food and liquor to all. He also recruited his wife's cousin Audry Pinto to facilitate the party. Audry was the bar tender, music director and photographer. She did a great job and we gave her the honorary membership to our class.
There was nothing great that happened. It was the first time my wife had a chance to meet my high school class mates. She had met Harry, Terence and Maxi before in the States. But Fr. Walter, Stany, Patrick and Subodh were new.
I missed meeting Trilochan, Poka, Subraya, Melville. I hope to see them at the next meeting ... God Willing.
Stany still remembers the bridge hand in which he went down 2 by bidding five hearts over my four spades. I was his partner three years ago at this bridge hand. I had forgotten all about it but Stany reminded me what happened. Leo and Rex were the opposing pair.
I noticed Cherry, Shirly and Mary seemed very happy during party. My wife told me she had a great time.
I hope to hear what I missed from the others.
