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?
