While in Cagayan de Oro City, I had the opportunity to meet with Roy Baltazar at Jessie Barlisan's place. It became an impromptu meeting when Pabs Calo arrived with Mario Reyes. Romy Gabriel also came. We then agreed, after many glasses of Tanduay to come to the XU-AAA Homecoming the following night.

This is what I miss about Cagayan de Oro, when friends who no longer have the luxury of time suddenly find the time to spend with old friends who talk almost exclusively about old times.

Cagayan de Oro, in our younger days was in fact a very quiet town and very few would venture to stay up late since there was not much to do. There was that jukebox at Marla's which constantly belted out "Those were the days my friend.......".
