George Dewey High School Now

I was going through some old emails and came across something Sam Simbulan sent me awhile back. Somehow this email slipped through the cracks and I forgot about it until now... Well, Sam shares some recent photos of our good ole GDHS...

I believe this is the old math and science building...
This was the first building you saw as you drove up to the school.

Here is the bulletin board in front of the school and the hallway leading up to the gym...

A bird's eye view of one of the classrooms...

I think I took this same picture when I went back to visit in 2002!

2007 GDHS Picnic Reunion Is Set!

Hey Fellow Admiral Alumni!

Before I give you an update on the picnic/reunion, I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts here. I've been crazy busy with my businesses...That is one of the reasons why I would love to have contributors here so that we can all post updates and let our fellow alumni know what's going on with everybody! If you'd like to contribute to this blog, shoot me an email: maria [at] salondemaria.info.

Ok, now down to the fun stuff! I'm sure many of you have received an email from Ruben Pandes regarding the picnic that has been set for July 7, 2007 (7/7/07! Lucky us! It's going to be a GREAT DAY!)

Where: Mountain Hawk Park in Chula Vista - right next to the Olympic Training Center
When: Around 10ish A.M - Ends at 6 PM
The Eats: Potluck style - Ruben will be assigning items to bring - Alcohol permitted, but NO GLASS

IMPORTANT: If you would like to attend the reunion, you must email Ruben with the number of people in your party. Example: Maria Palma, spouse & 2 kids or Maria Palma & guest. (Just for the record, I'm not married and I don't have kids!) Contact Ruben: rpandes [at] peoplepc [dot] com.

If you ARE NOT not on the list, then you CANNOT ATTEND. So, email Ruben right now and let him know! The picnic is coming up fast!!

See you there!!

GDHS "Get Together"

Perhaps I jumped the gun on my previous post. In case you didn't read the comment from the post, I wanted to publish it here on a separate post to clarify any confusion:

Hi Maria,

Thanks for putting the word out on the picnic. Well, technically it is a Reunion of sorts, but, not a full fledge Reunion with the Dinner and Dance bit. Just a small picnic that has gotten larger to the point that we have moved it to East Mission Bay. This get together is just to finally attempt who is really down here in Socal so that we can get a good registry for our group started. From this initial picnic we can hopefully plan other events and functions and quickly communicate it to everyone. So far we have close to 70 alumni identified, not including any 90's alumni, yet. This is really quite a number when over 50 percent of the emails listed on the Dewey website registry are no longer valid. So, everyone out there please update your email.

So here is to a terrific picnic in July.

Also by the way I do not run the Dewey website, that would be Sam Simbulan, Class of 1988. If any of you guys get "The Filipino Channel" he is the Director of the show, Pinagmulan. It is a show that documents a Filipinos' return home to the Philippines after an extended absence. Lots of good human interest stories. There you go Sam, another plug. He is doing a great job.

Take care,

Ruben Pandes 1975

By the way, if you're from the 90's era of GDHS and would like to attend, let me know via comments below. So far we have many RSVP's, but hardly anybody from the 90's!
