Thanks for the Memories!! Let's do it again!

This whole elementary blog idea started in 2000 when a few RHS classmates' emails spread like wildfire. This blog consists mostly of conversations regarding our 40th reunion and, of course, memories from our elementary days. As we approach our 45th reunion, please share your comments, memories and wishes on our RHS Class of '70 Facebook page. Let's start with...
Are you interested in reuniting with your elementary classmates again in 2015?



So... how do I blog????

Please add a comment to any of these conversations! Look over our selection of blogs in the right menu, including those within past months. When you are feeling inspired, simply type a mesage in the "Post a Comment" text box. Underneath the comment box, open the "comment as" menu and select "name/url" (unless you have a listed profile). Type your name; you may leave the url blank. You may choose to be anonymous or include your name within the text as well. Select "Preview" if you would like to see what your comment will look like before it is published. You may choose to delete a message after it is published but it will leave a message stating "comment removed by blogger". Come on...You know you want to join us!

    Stan Brown asks: Gotta' get back to work, but I did have one question; why did we call Peter Carlisle, 'Monkey?'

    Bob Elgin clarifies: Oh yes. Must respond to this.

    Peter Carlisle was called “Monkey” because he was skinny and had long arms – like a monkey. And actually, when he got older, he got hairy like a monkey too. Of course “Monk” was short for “Monkey”.

    But I should also add that during our HS years he took sort of a liking to the name but altered it to “Monk the ‘no’ punk”. He didn’t want anybody thinking he was a pushover.

    Peter, my strongest memory of you is not taking you to that (Christmas?) dance at the Country Club, although that was memorable...it was you running down Belmont Road screaming your head off the day Kennedy was shot. That made quite an impression...and it may have been the first I heard what the heck was going on after they sent us home from school.

    Sounds like you're doing great work in a wonderful place! Way to go!

    Hey, I don't know if anyone else if following this, but our very own Peter Carlisle is the clear front runner in his race to be mayor of Honolulu, and the election is this Saturday. So my question is: "Monk, remember me?!! Ridgewood?!!" I actually did talk to him a few months ago and he said he 'might' attend the reunion. That would be pretty cool. I wonder if he'd come with body guards?
