Classmates, Re-Introducing Samuel (Sam) Movido
"Samuel" as I always remembered, is now known as Sam. He had been a classmate from the elementary grades and was one of the very intelligent ones too. I recall him to be very good in Mathematics and English. I remember him to be the quite type, but always smart and ready when teachers called him during recitations. :-)
Sam had been one of the very first I found via the web; I think through another elementary school classmate who will not be familiar to most of you, since he went to another high school. And that's Charles Giere.
It was a time warpy type of kind of experience when I also discovered that Sam's wife was a classmate in UP; Anna Quizon. So it was really a double whammy as they say :-) Maybe I should also post something separate for Anna to reminisce AS classroom days. Yes. I will do that :-)
Very recently, after I made the request, Sam provided a brief update on what's been going on with him and the family all these years. So here goes:
