This blog was created as a tool to help the IHS Class73, Iloilo High School Alumni Group locate as many members of our graduating class 1973 as possible. This is my way of saying THANK YOU to all of those who work tirelessly in bringing us all back into the fold. Please enjoy the reminiscing, the tour down memory lane, and be updated with the latest news from home and other parts of the world.

#004-Tracked Down-The search is OVER !!!!

Believe it or Not --- the day after I signed up for Facebook, a classmate in high school (Gene Limoso) tracked me down and we reconnected after 36 years !!!

Suddenly everything changed. I was transported back in time as I digged in the IHS Class73 archives of their google group.  How refreshing... My classmates and schoolmates have welcomed me back into the fold like a long lost sheep.  They are a wonderful, beautiful bunch of people.

If you are reading this, it could be that you too belonged to IHS Class73 and are searching for the group?

Well, search no more....  Find them here :

IHS CLASS73 | Google Groups



Join the Group, Let them know YOU are still alive and kicking, and hence remove the "MISSING" tag from your name.


.------------------------------


If you are a relative, a friend,  a workmate, or a neighbor that knows someone from our batch (Iloilo High School, Class 1973) you are most welcomed to let us know about them or please let them know about us.


Feel free to comment here, or Email Me  if you have further queries.


Thank You for your interest.
