When ever we gather together, that's big events
우리들이 모이는 것은 늘 큰 사건이다.
The incredible event in the April of 2004

In the early April 2004, something unusual took place in maryland.  I was told that some of us might come to the Maryland and would enjoy gathering and play golf.  Jay Sung Lee decided to invite as many of our classmattes in maryland.  Then, on the day we are witnessing very unusual, that is.  This inpromptu gathering brought twenty some couples from all over the country, as far as from California.  The gathering was exciting.  Jay and his wife prepared whole affair in such a careful way that no only we were surprised but also we thoroughly enjoyed.  Most exciting event was that there are number of guy met for the first time since we left school almost half a century ago.  "Do I know you?", "Were you in my class?", etc. Though they sound incredible it happened.  We were all glad this happened and this really brought us together again.  Suddenly, we were caught by the spirit of the class61 of the SNUCM with pride.  All of us expressed desire that we should meet more often like this.  So the excitement and the emotion brought this person to decide to set up a web site like this.  Within a day the web was published and again enthusiasm was shown by the pouring of e-mails to this web master.  I hope this fire rekindled in the April 2004 be a flame of friendship and hope.

2004년 4월에 일어난 일

2004년 4월초에 기이한 일이 있었다. 누가 메릴랜드에 우리 동기 몇명이 모여서 주말에 저녁이나 먹고 골프나 치자고 하여 이제승이가 이를 추진 하고 있다고 해서, 이 부지런한 친구가 뉴욕 과 근방 친구들을 모아서 대접 하려는구나 했었다.  막상 그 모인날에 제승이집에 갔드니 평소 동기동창때보다 더 많은 친구들이 먼 곳은 카리포르니아, 코로라도, 택사스에서 까지도 모였다.  물론 주도 면밀하게 재승이와 그 영부인 께서 평소실력을 다듬어서 준비를 하였으니 그모임이 얼마나 뜻있고, 재미 있고 즐거웠는지는 표현 하기 어렵다.  이 모임에 졸업후에 그진 반세기후에 처음 만난 친구들도 있어서 오가는 말이 이상 할정도 였다.  "당신, 우리 크라스에 있기는 있었소?", "당신은 누구요?" 등등.  처음에는 농담으로 들었으나 알고 보니 진담이 였다.  참 감계할수 밖에 없었다. 
우리는 모두 반가웠고 오랫만에 즐겁고 뜻 있는 시간을 가졌다.  우리는 모두 우리가 자조 만나서 이런 즐그운 시간을 갖었으면 하고 이구동성이였다.  우리는 서울의대61년 동기의 영혼을 자부와 함께 느꼈다고 본다.  그래서 본인은 그 감격을 엮어서 보존 하고 연속 시킬수가 있었으면  하였다.  모두들 해어지고 난후 본인은 즉시 이 웹사이트를 설립  하기로 결심 하고 착수 하였다.  초기의 응원이 좋아서 더욱 흥이 나서 밤 가는줄 모르고 일을 하게 되었다.  아래에 친구들의 뜻을 틈나는 대로 실어 볼 작정이다. 
Dear VIP Friends Class 61:

I hope all of you had a nice time at Baltimore last week even the weather was unfavorable for the golf. Nobody seemed to be concerned the weather that much. 
Some of us have not seen each other for more than 40 years since our graduation
1961. I think we should meet more often as we are getting mature.

Special thanks to Dr. Karl Koh for the golf, Dr. Chang Wuk for the ground transpiration, and Dr. Ji Won Choi for the delicious fruit.
I am 100% sure that every one will enjoy Dr. Hie Won Lee's beautiful music tape. Can you image that time she spent from her busy schedule to record all the tapes for us?
I listened the tape from the beginning to the end. That is a wonderful pieces of music.

On behalf of our class in Baltimore, we really appreciate your joining our reunion by long driving or long flight to make our reunion more successful and enjoyable.
We tried our best for this event, however, we are human being and not perfect. Please understand if there were any inconvenience for you during our reunion.

Dr. Chang Wuk Kang opened website for our class 61 of SNUCM. I was almost shocked at his genius idea and talent for the computer. I asked him to forward the website information to all of us.
Please try to open website : http://hstrial-ckang.homestead.com
You will find all the information with regard to our class 61.
Looking forward to seeing all of you at Hershey.
Keep in touch.

Dear Friends:

I was very happy to see you all especially who were sick but healthy again which includes Jimmy Choi, Jung H. Oh, Chang W. Kang, and his Wife.  I have not had enough time to share all the joy with them, and other friends who came.  I think if we are going to meet again like this, we should have at least 4-5 days.
Thank you again for all of you guys in Baltimore who arranged golf and other things.
See you in July.

즉시 회답해 줘서 고맙고 보내준 Class 61 Web Site도 잘 봤는데 잘 된것 같다.  진작 누가 그런것을 만들어야 했을텐데 너무 늦은 감도 있지만 지금부터 서로 협력해서  잘 활성할수있게 만들면 정말 좋을것 같다.
난 그런것에 무재주라서 그냥 사용만 할 생각이지만........
그리고 보내준 사진도 잘 봤다. 오늘 같이 일하든 Nurse한테 보여주니 Brave한것 아니고 Crazy한것이라고 하드라. 나도 동감이다.
오정환이 무사한지 걱정된다. 난 아직 몸살난것 같지는 않다!
한번 언제 서로 시간내서 이곳에 놀러 오기 바란다.  내가 일요일 골프를 치고 호텔로 가는 차편을 기다리다가 정의철이 차가
있다고해서 같이 갔는데 잘못해서 내 헌 골프신발을 놓고 왔단다. (Club Lounge에)
그래서 이재승한테 부탁했는데 그것 찾으면 가지고 Colorado에 오렴?!!!!!   핑게낌에....
그럼 건강하고 열심히 재미있게 살자.....우린 언제 인생졸업할지 모른다!
부인께 다시 인사 전한다.

Dear Chang-Wuk:

I am so glad to see your mail. It is very nice of you to send your kind summary of our
gettogether and all the excitements. Another piece of memories and nostalgias to look back to.
The pictures were nice too!
A good luck to your project! I think it a very good idea.

Dear Oog:

It was cold, rainy or snowy, and blurry on Apr 4 or Sunday.  We didn't play golf in the mornig and left for home.  We were glad we did.  Otherwise, we might not have come home Sunday.  As you get older, you get tired longer.
It was very nice to see you and Mrs Kang.  Hope to see you in July in Hershey.

Dear Jae Sung:

It was a real happy reunion for us despite the severe weather. It was wonderful to see all the good old friends in such amicable settings you and your wife provided.

Thank you very much for your tireless contribution to bring us to the memorable occasions.
I also admire the beautiful coordination of Karl's and Chang-Wuk's couples. I should like to name three of you the "Three musketeers of Baltimore"!
Be well and see you again soon.

Followings are sample of the E-mail sent to the web master;  Ibelieve they all agree with me. More pictures below.
So, golf is good and exciting, but this is a little bit
crazy.  But still they enjoyed.
