All Pasadena and SGV Nikkei Reunion

About a year ago, I was in a Zoom meeting with Old Friends, a group of John Muir High School classmates. They were talking about getting together again in Pasadena as they have been for many many years. Sadly, a few said that they might not be able to make it, physically. All of them, except me, are approaching 90. Some have physical challenges, others are forgetting things. All have a deep love for each other and all would love nothing better to see each other again.

My only thought was that I wanted to do something that they would remember and cherish. An All Pasadena Reunion! After all is said and done, memories of one another are what remain. It’s what makes me smile or chuckle when I see photos of my friends and family.

The All Pasadena and SGV Nikkei Reunion took place on Sunday, October 11, 2026 at Almansor Court in Alhambra. There were about 150 friends who attended and experienced a wonderful time. Here is a collection of photos. Look, enjoy and reminisce!
