Algernon,
Today, 3 June 2006, marks the 40th anniversary of the graduating class of Roosevelt High School, Honolulu, Hawaii class of "66".

I wanted to let you know that you are not forgotten and that I remember you often. For a little over a year now I have worn your remembrance bracelet and have shared memories with all who have asked in whose memory do I wear the bracelet. The inscription upon the bracelet reads:
    "Sgt. Algernon P. Kaakimaka, Jr. - Army - 01 June 68 - Vietnam - HI".

On this day there are probably many of our classmates who are reflecting back on those wonderful years at Roosevelt and all of the good times that were had and the everlasting memories and friendships that were made. I pray that you too will have moments of happy memories and reflections of your years as a "Rough Rider".

A fond ALOHA,
Bruce
