Hogan Spartans Reunion! Napa, CA. August 26, 2023. Hi Eileen! I've known her since Springstowne Jr. High School, Hogan Sr. HS, and our Fil-Am club Mga Kapatid in UC Davis .  Snow trip my freshman year in UCD - "Never mind." Good times. Join me and blog with Pinoybuilt. Sorry for the late post. If taken on my Sony full frame camera, I have to convert the raw photos, then edit in Adobe Lightroom. I joined Facebook in September 2007, so I have tons of digital photos prior to 2007 that I haven't posted yet as well. I will be posting to this blog/website going forward (rather than Facebook). I'd rather make money for Pinoybuilt instead of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. 😉 The site aims to promote any and all Fil-Am (Filipino-American) in NorCal.
