Vegas?

Well I am being pressured by the Golden Nugget to get them an answer about how many rooms she should block. I was required to get back to her by today! I sent an email out to all who responded in the past and have not heard from anyone.
If you still want to do this please sound off!
Either post with a definite yes or I cannot confirm the rooms.
Aug 21,22,23 are the dates which we were hoping to do this.
My wife and I are planning to go, so unless I hear from you by tomorrow, at the latest, I will assume the reunion is off.

Reunion


Hello and sorry for the delay.

I would like to try to figure out a date for the reunion, I need your help since we all have to find the time.

I was thinking near the end of August?

Say the weekend of the 22nd or the 29th. I will contact the Golden Nugget and see if they will give us a discount. Nice place downtown close to lots of different casinos and shops.

Let's take a vote and see which date works best for everyone interested in going.
Looking forward to a great time.

Resident Giant


This is a picture of Lojwa's resident giant.
He is standing next to a 20' pine tree, holding a 7' grey reef shark.
Ha Ha.
Just a shark hunter with his catch of the day.

Lojwa Animal Reunion

So I got a message from an old animal, he say's it has been 30 years, unbelievable, he also said we should have an Animal reunion. I think that is a great idea. We decided the only place for Animals to re-unite would be Las Vegas.
If anyone is interested in getting together with some of the Lojwa Animals for a bit to sit down and share some stories and some old friendships send me your information and I will keep a list. We will figure out a date and place to do this.

Lojwa Sandcastle


This was the bar on Lojwa, until the competition moved in. Though we didn't sell booze, it was b.y.o.b. and as much as you could carry. Party on.

Construction Crew


Here we are building the hangout. We had to scrounge for material, I think the navy guys gave us the rope and the hanging balls. This picture is before the bar and bar stools were built. Can't remember where we got the burlap and padding for the bar.
We had lots of help constructing, I think everyone wanted a place to hangout, besides the Sandcastle.
If anyone has pictures they would like to share I will be glad to post them with your story. Send them single pictures only, multiple pictures don't post very well.
Thanks for visiting

Radiation Exposure

Today I received an email from a young man trying to get help from all of us who spent time on Enewetak. His father has had problems with cancer since he left the islands. I will be attaching a link to his email when I get his O.K. I urge all of you to respond to give help and hope that the government will change the regulations to help the needy troops that have had serious health problems due to their service on Enewetak. We need to make changes to the legislation, and the only way to do this is to band together and give them hell. I have added another link to a site he sent me with the info on the "Radiation Exposure and Compensation" and "National Cancer Advisory" .
All the Marshallese are getting hundreds of millions while we get nothing.
