From Norway
We, the Tanjayanons
of Norway and Denmark,
send our love and best wishes to our brother and sister Tanjayanons in
America, Canada and all over the world. Wherever we are and
whatever will be, we will always fondly remember that there's no place
like home. God bless our beloved Tanjay.

Thank you very much
for the newsletter.
Matayng nyawaa, si Salve iya gyung gi-dala sa Pattaya Beach Resort
kay iyang ipabasa ni Janette (Oracion) iyang daughter who is a
house
singer in one of the 5-star hotels here.
Uy, Brad, ning-ingon pud
diay to si
Bay Rene Anfone (your former classmate and now among the
best-known
personalities here in Bangkok's
entertainment world), ug taga-an la'g visa
ning akong
mga apo, unya pletehan sa Tanjay Association dalang libreng hotel and
pocket
money, mo-attend gyud ta sa Tanjay pyesta sa America kada tuig.
Seriously though, there
are quite
a number of Tananjyanons here in Bangkok and its suburbs, and our
ATN is really a "tambal sa kamingaw".
We would like to thank the Tanjayanons'
unique love for
life for this publication.

From Tanjay, back home
Inday Isid
(Regalado-Pileo)
gave me the ATN which Sally sent me thru Uncle Cente (Reyes).
It was a big hit in school. Sonia (Oracion-Sibala),
Dindin (Banogon-Bengoechea) and Sonia
Violeta-
Ignacio confessed that they devoured it cover-to- cover to the last
dot. Many of my co-teachers here at the elementary school took
turns
in reading it. I don't know where that copy is now.
Out there in the States,
all of you
look wonderful in the pictures and have remained so young through all
these
years. Maybe, it's because you indeed are one big happy
Tanjayanon
family. And the Newsletter is doing a wonderful job keeping the
Tanjayanons
there united and in touch.
I hope Sally would send
me again a
copy of your next issue.

Brad, ato-ato ra ni, wala'y
dautang hangin makadungog,
I believe Tanjay is the only town in America (or maybe in the whole
world)
which has this kind of newsletter - free flowing and typifying the
personality
of its townspeople. We're proud of it.

From Al Moranas
Frankly, I don't care
about the Ang
Tanjayanon Newsletter. I read it from cover to cover and, always, I get
so frustrated. It is so full of typos, misplaced modifiers and
other
errors.
The editors should know
that gerunds
and linking verbs have different functions in a syntax especially
if you're using the subjunctive mood.
Moreover, the rules of grammar dictate that
antecedents
should be placed proximate to the nouns they modify, to avoid confusing
dangling adjectival phrases. And, may God forgive you, on page 3
of the ATN Summer 1999 issue, newsletter was spelled with only
one.
Oh, puleeeezh!
You should be reminded
to edit copy
with thoroughness, care and concern for grammar. Sometimes I
suspect
you don't exactly comprehend what the meaning of the word is is.

From Michigan
Brad, I have always
wanted to meet
Mr. Al Moranas. You promised to introduce him to me during the
Induction
Ball last fiesta, but evidently everyone was so busy. Was he the
one in tuxedo with a gray cummerbund? Or did he come in a heavily
embroidered barong Tagalog?
Brad, is it possible to
get his autograph?
Or if not, at least give me Mr. Moranas' complete address, please?
