Reunion of Former OSU-K Students

(July 10, 2011) The upcoming 20^th anniversary reunion of former OSU-K students reported that was the topic of the June 12^th article has come and gone and was by all accounts a real success and a time of renewing friendships. There were about fifty former students and ten former staff members in attendance as well as some spouses, children and other family members. During the six years that OSU-K existed there were six incoming groups of new students. Each of the six classes was represented at the reunion so there was a good representation of former students and almost everyone knew everyone else. I received by e-mail a group photo of those present. I recognized some very quickly but, as is sometimes the case, some have changed quite a bit. Through the years I’ve seen most of the staff that worked on the campus each day so they were very easy to recognize and it was nice to see their photos and know that they continue to do well. Also present for the reunion and in the photo was former mayor Taniguchi who was the driving force behind OSU-K becoming a reality. Mr. Taniguchi who is well into his 80s looks great!  Even before the reunion concluded some in attendance were asking when the next reunion was going to be held. Obviously they had a good time.
