What's New Today?

What a pleasant surprise when my cp rang on my way to the office, yesterday. It was Marybeth! Yes, she's here in the Philippines to attend their family reunion in Oas, Albay. She's waiting for sister Bobbie before going home to Bicol. After the reunion, she'll be attending the wedding of Willy's relative in Bacolod. She'll only have the time to go out with the Manila group one or two days before they go back to the US on May 28. We hope Rudy will be here on that week, so we can also celebrate his birthday!

Another pride of our batch is the daughter of Men Venida and husband Rene Abot, MYRENE ANDREA VENIDA-ABOT, who is graduating from the Lincoln Law School of Sacramento with the degree of Juris Doctorate on May 18. She'll also be receiving several awards. I'll be posting her graduation invitation, picture and profile in this blogsite later today.

CONGRATULATIONS MYRENE and CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PROUD PARENTS Men and Rene!!

The church flourished but was forced to relocate frequently. It was violently expelled from Missouri, and a mob killed Smith in Illinois in 1844. His successor, Brigham Young, led followers to Utah three years later. Tensions with the US government continued to escalate, culminating in what war? More... Discuss

Gerald Joseph "Gerry" Mulligan (1927)

Mulligan was an important baritone saxophonist and one of the best-known exponents of cool jazz, a delicate, understated offshoot of bebop. He began his career in the mid-1940s as an arranger for Gene Krupa and Claude Thornhill and played on the historic Miles Davis nonet recordings in 1949. He gained considerable success with the quartet he formed with Chet Baker in 1952, and he led ensembles of various sizes thereafter. Mulligan served jail time after he was arrested in 1953 for what?
