Ok...so this is not the real photo...they weren't ready yet so Mike's talented daughter took the liberty of drawing a picture for us.  You recognize Mike, of course, in the sombrero and Gloria has the Margarita glass.


(Below are the actual photos)

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Classmates,
On Aug. 5, 2006, we had a "Get Together" for Mike Pierce who lives in Bangkok, Thailand, and was in Victoria for the weekend. I sent out a newsletter and invited lots of folks from the class of 68 to join us at the LaHacienda Café for a Saturday night get together. There were about 12 of us there to welcome Mike and his family to Victoria. We all had a grand time. Below the photos are some emails we received about the event. Mike’s emails are in red and his daughter’s emails are in pink. I hope this makes you smile...

Gloria:
My trip back to Asia was uneventful despite the increased travel threat in place the day I left Houston. The family in Thailand was happy to see me again (as I was them as well). Now I’ve got to go play catch up with my screwed up sleep pattern. Thanks for everything. It turned out to be one of my most memorable trips ANYWHERE. Bless you and yours!

Gloria: I made the mistake of forwarding your 10 Aug Newsletter to both my daughters. This was Tiffany’s response. I’ll send you Trina’s separately. You might want to hold off making that booking for TEN persons in MY NAME. Hugs,
Mike

Wow-is she just amazing!!! Now if she had been in charge of my reunion, there's NO way she would have let me duck out of going!
Oh, by the way, I went ahead and emailed her our response for the 2008 cruise. I told Gloria that there would be 10 of us. I think that's right, let's see...Me and my family, Trina all all of her crew and you. Yep, that's right, 10! I told Gloria to go ahead and bill you for everything. No need to thank me, I know you appreciate me thinking of this for you!!! Thank you for sending the newsletter. We too had a blast and now have great memories to last a life time!
I love you and miss you,
Tiffany

Gloria:
Here is Trina’s response to your Newsletter.
Needless to say, they were both impressed with your spirit (as am I).
Hugs Again!

Man just after reading Gloria's email she makes me feel tired - what a firecracker!!! She makes me want to be in on the newsletter loop!
We had lots of fun on the trip too - it was very nice that the kids are all old enough to remember it! It seems like according to the newsletter you better come back in 2008 - I am sure those heart thingys are really over-rated (just kidding - you need to live to be a 103 so you can continue on the newsletter).
Love always - Trina
I emailed Mike back and told him I loved his daughters’ sense of humor. His response was the following…
Gloria:
What "humor" (?), my daughters ARE serious! Well, mostly serious. Maybe a little serious. OK, OK, they’re "smart asses" like their Dad.
Thank you for letting me be part of your "Loop".
Enjoy the beach!

Mike
