Adding a Personal Touch: How the Interests of Three Classmates are Raising the Bar for Reunion45

Putting a reunion event together isn’t just about picking up the phone and calling a caterer. Sometimes it means taking what you know and offering it to others to create new and exciting opportunities on the reunion schedule.

THE DACHSHUND LEADS THE WAY: Bruce Ashford on the Lulumahu Falls trail during out 40th reunion. Mike Woodward looks on from behind.

Bruce Ashford

For years he’s hiked Oahu’s trails. At our 40th reunion he took classmates on three popular reunion hikes.

Reunion survey results showed that you wanted to go on hikes at our 45th and Bruce has agreed to again lead the treks. In fact, he has added an additional hike to the schedule!

If you’d like to add a little “outdoor” to your 45th reunion be sure to check his “Go Take a Hike” treks to discover Aiea Loop Trail, Kuliouou Ridge Trail, Lulumahu Falls Trail, and Makapuu Point Lighthouse Trail. Enrollment is open so the more the merrier–even if you don’t have a dachshund.
