Yes, it’s been a while

Sorry you did not hear from us, the Committee. We had to abruptly cancel our January meeting. It was to be held at Dwayne Nasu’s beautiful home and his father passed away on the day before our meeting, so we cancelled. A bunch of us helped at Mr. Nasu’s service. He was 82 years old and lived a full, productive life.
I’ve always said “Life is too short and that is what makes it sooo valuable”. We are entering our golden years; do not waste it waiting for Time to take it away. That’s one of the reasons the committee works on having events every year, instead of once every five years. At every reunion a lot of you say we don’t have enough time to reconnect with everyone there.
Thanks to Harold Fujii who stepped up to the plate and organized a Bowling Pupu Party at Aiea Bowl this Saturday (March 20th). At last count there are 35 Rough Riders showing up. No worries - if no can carry a 15 pound ball, come for the pupus. Aiea Bowl is known for good grinds! Sorry I will miss this event as I’m leaving that night for Europe. Have fun!
Finally, we have finalized all the details for our Pledge. Our newsletter will be going out next month and the official sign up form will be enclosed with it. If you’d like to get the full-color version of the newsletter by email, just click on the mailing list link below and leave your email address. If we already have it, no need to do it again.
We have decided to use the Roosevelt Alumni Foundation so all of your pledges will be tax deductible. You may give one big lump sum, but we prefer that you pledge an annual amount up to our 45th reunion in 2014. It will be a great way for us to stay in touch and to be kept abreast of the annual donations as well as what the committee will be planning next.
I’ll admit it, I did cut out of school during most of my senior year, but I do have fond memories of Roosevelt High. I hope you have similar thoughts and will support the committee and our alma mater. So, when you get the Pledge form please give what you can and get involved with our school and community.
We are the Rough Riders Class of 1969, like no other. Let’s take the lead and get all of our classmates off their butts and not let Time pass them by!
Thank you for your support.

You have ten frames with two shots in each. If you get all the pins down in one shot (a strike) in your next frame you get double the points. If you get all the pins down in two shots (a spare) in your next frame for the first shot only you get double the points. The maximum you can get is 300 that's a strike every go. If in the last frame of the game you get a spare or a strike you get an extra shot or two extra shots (one for a spare two for a strike). If you get two strikes in a row its called a double, three in a row is called a turkey, four in a row is called a four bagger, five in a row is a five bagger and so on. Scoring works by adding up the number of pins you score in each frame assuming you don't knock them all down.
All clear?
