Hey there everyone! I hope everyone has been having a good summer.

By the time this is published, our Fifteen (15) Year Reunion will have taken place. I’m being preemptive here, but we should have a write up and pictures on our website, www.kps94.org.

Not much new on my front – same old biz, and same old fun. I did get in a great backpacking trip with my wife to Mt. Whitney at end of July. Pics are on my facebook account, and there’s a detailed write up on my blog, www.blakemiller.net

Abel Tanael wrote in . . . “A lot of things are going on both at work and at home. My daughters are growing fast. Isabel Elaine is 7 this Saturday, July 18th and Elisha Joan will be 5 this coming labor day weekend. I won’t be able to make it this time to our 15th year reunion since our family have long planned to go back to the Philippines and celebrate the Christmas season over there this year. It’s been 11 years and it’s long overdue. Loads of renovation going on at my home. I’m now learning to be a handyman. It’s getting there. At work, busy as always. Matt Andrews {is} checking our traffic here at the Hamilton Port. Fertilizer season is over for now but it’s time for the retailers to get their supplies from us so we are busy trucking everything out from our warehouse to theirs.

Hugh Healey sent in picture and announcement of the birth of their son “Liam Francis Healey” born on 5/20/09. Congrats Hugh!

Joe Woods played golf in the KP NY Golf Outing with Willie Pack (KP 00′) and Tom Wingenfeld (KP 69′). We played great and won 1st place. It doesn’t hurt that Willie is a 1 handicap. At the outing I ran into Tim Green, Matt Andrews and Joe Costanza. All are doing very well. Great job Joe and team for winning!!

Brett Miller and wife Kelly have been blessed with another baby girl. Emily Claire Miller was born on July 10, 2009. Brother Owen, 4and half, and sister Audrey, 3, are both very excited for our new addition. Kelly is doing well, and adjusting to no sleep, again. Congrats Brett and Kelly!

Chris Price just had their second boy on 7/22/09, his name is Alex Thomas. All went smoothly and everyone is happy (Brother? Evan is a little less than happy but he’s getting on fine). Congrats Chris!!

Brian Murphy and his family got together with Matt Lavin and his family up in Cooperstown, NY, over Memorial Day. Matt and his wife, Ericka, now have four kids, with the newest addition, Parker, joining the clan in 2008. Matt is also in the process of moving from the Coast Guard base in Cape Cod, where he was flying helicopters, down to Elizabeth City, NC, where he will begin training on the C-130. I have some great pictures from our trip but can’t find them! – I’ll forward for the next edition.

As for me, things are going well. I’m still with Starr Marine Agency (14+ years) in New York, heading up the hull department. I now handle the international hull portfolio as well, which is fun but very challenging. Jeanne and I have had a busy and fun summer with our kids – Grace is 5 1/2, Patrick is 4, and Kate is 2 1/2. Attached is a picture of the gang from our vacation in the Adirondack mountains in July.

I’m scheduled to get together with Matt Andrews, Garrett Cousineau, Tim Green, and probably a few others from the NYC contingent later this week. Should be fun. That’s it for now – I’m looking forward to seeing everybody at Homecoming.

That’s it for this issue . . . don’t forget, we’re more “social”. Be sure to join our Facebook group “Kings Point Class of 1994” We also have a continuous list of “Missing in Action” classmates showing those who we do not have email addresses for. See www.kps94.org/mia for more info. Till next round . . . ~Blake
