  2. Hi Randall,

    I’m the small Filipina girl in the photos back in 1986 – Rhandy’s daughter! My dad and the whole family would love to reconnect with you.

    • Hey, Wow!

      Great to hear from you after all these years! I can’t believe you found my lil’ blog and dug thru all those pix, but glad you did. Your family was so kind to me and we did so much cool stuff! I often tell people how I met your Dad in Japan, then reconnected in the Philippines. I eventually went back to teaching high school, and well, you can figure a lot out from my photos, etc. I retired in ’23 and have been doing a lot of traveling. I’m writing you from Vienna Austria and will do two tours in the Balkans before coming home in about a month to see my kids graduate from college.

      How are you? How is Rhandy!? (Not only did we have the same name, but I think we have the same age and a few other things in common…) How is the family? And how is the Philippines? I’ve always wanted to go back. I have a good friend from college, Kimo, how did his master’s on the Philippine experience in WWII. Anyway, please give my regards to everyone, especially your Dad!

      Best wishes and thanks so much for reaching out!

      Sincerely, Randy Vail
