Victor Abat

This was Vic's initial reply to my pleadings to join our Oct 9 Batch '70 meeting through my fb msg box.

"Salamat for sharing our high school senior section pics. Photos bring us back down memory lane. They tell us stories of yesteryears. The young ones then, the young once now. I have since been retired from army service in '08 - gudbye tension, helo pension!"

Subsequently, he said, "Retirement in the mil svc is 56 y/o. Getting old but still bold, a little over the hill but still able to thrill! Afterall, age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

And on he says, "Reclusive pa naman ako. Baka biglang magkaron ng Vixi's Fan Club. :)

My response, "ahahaha si Vicsie talaga."

I noted however, that he has not yet confirmed his attendance to our Oct 9, 2010 meet up. Swell :-)

It is not surprising therefore to find out that he not only has one Palanca Award but has been a consistent winner. In fact, Reuel is a Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards Hall of Famer. Sobrang husay!

Rollie and Family I think, Rolando 'Rollie' Mendoza was introduced to me by Veron de Guzman. I had quite a chat with him recently. That is quite a name, I mentioned. To be a namesake to an "infamous" man. And he says, yes, he's been teased about that for awhile. Rollie and family resides in the United States. I could guess that life's been good to him as well there; practically like all the rest of our Filipino compatriots who chose to try their luck, worked hard and succeeded. By the way, I spoke to him about our Jan or Dec 2012 Batch Reunion and Rollie  is pretty hopeful that he and wife might just join us.
