Dear 50th Reunion Voyagers

On behalf of the organizing committee for our big reunion, we want to express our sincere mahalo for voyaging home to Punahou, from wherever you are, both physically and emotionally, to celebrate. It was a fantastic time together that was surrounded in fun and filled with lots of activities that led to reconnecting and much joy! Just being together and reveling in our shared experiences that started at our amazing Punahou School made it beyond special.

And how generous our class has been, with nearly 50% contributing to our Class Gift and helping us exceed our goal. Together we raised $3,884,935 to support educational opportunities at Punahou today and into the future! Mahalo to all who gave.

Whether you were part of putting our 50^th Reunion together or not, you honored the efforts of your classmates by showing up and are greatly appreciated. From all the “navigators” of our epic 10 days of festivities, we are grateful you came. To those who could not join us, we missed you and hope we can stay in touch. There will be another chance at our 55^th, if not sooner when we collectively turn 70. Wowee!

Don’t forget we also have a Facebook page, Punahou Class of 72!

Aloha Oe for now. It was a wonderful reunion and beyond expectations.

Until we meet again, may your journey be smooth. Let’s keep paddling together on this grand voyage with our ‘72 ohana!

Aloha nui loa,

Lisa Morrett Cole (“Mama Nene”)
