4/26/2024 - PHOTO SHARE - ESTHER KAI 3/30/2024 - BOBO SAIKI'S SERVICES Bobo's service was beautiful. Among his accomplishments, he was admired for his dedication to coaching youth that included SJS baseball. Andy Baclig gave a wonderful eulogy; there was a 21 gun salute and a presentation of a flag to his ohana; and a deacon from St. Joseph's Parish conducted the prayer service. Iggie and Charmaine sat together, and on behalf of all of our classmates who knew Bobo, Charmaine carried the Lei of red and gold and presented it around Bobo's urn. It was truly a touching and loving moment. She later wrote, "It was a very beautiful and honorable farewell." For Charmaine, being there was extra special. She was the person, many, many years prior, who chose the caption under Bobo's name in the yearbook, None but himself can be his parallel. She chose it because only he could be his parallel. We love you Bo.

Who are we? The newsletter is supported by voluntary help for its stories and content. We are not employed or compensated by the school or its staff. We are an all-volunteer handful of classmates trying to keep other classmates informed by sharing news and information. Your comments (and news reports) are always welcome. Our intention is not to offend anyone. The idea is to keep everyone connected and informed. Hopefully, we bring smiles and some good memories. Speaking of memories, we try to proof all of the content; however, some errors do slip through so don't get mad. We cover news, information, and general articles of interest in regard to the St. Joseph's High School classes of 1962 and 1963, although other classes are more than welcome to post information in the newsletter.
