HERBERT H. Q. LUM

1955

2008


Herbert Hung Quon Lum was born in November 1935.

His nickname is Herb; and he lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Herb has five children and three grandchildren.

He lists no “hobbies”.

After graduating from S.L.C. He became a Professional Truck Driver (18 Wheelers – Cross country) for a company called Double “L” Trucking, and continued to work there until he retired.

Herbert spends his time by doing“whatever he likes” and takes his “retirement” very seriously. There was a time, after his retirement from the Trucking Company, that Herb was a part-time Casino Bus Driver.

As we all can see, Herb “aged” very well and looks (the above picture of 2008) younger than he really is; don't you think? Maybe only 70?????

Contacting Herb is “an easy thing to do”. Just contact George Corenevsky at 98-1779A Kaahumanu St., Aiea, HI 96701 or e-mail him at gcorenevsky@hawaii.rr.com or phone him at (808) 455-7955


GEORGE W. LISHMAN

1955

2008

George Wheeler Lishman was born in December 1937. His nickname is “Buzz”.

His wife's name is Barbara Jean (Barb), and they live in Eagan, Minnesota.

They have seven children and thirteen grandchildren.

George's hobbies are listed as: Tennis, golf, fishing, and pool (billiards). (Since he is in Minnesota, could he be a distant relative of Minnesota Fats??)

After his graduation from S.L.C. In 1955, Buzz entered a local Business School ('55 to '58) and got his business degree. During this time, he joined the U.S. Marines ('56 to '62) and attained E-4 rank. Note: he managed to be in the Marines and also found the time and opportunity to concurrently continue and finish his Business School education. Then, he became an Assistant Manager for Sheraton Hawaii. Then, he was an Assistant Manager for the Park Motor Inn of Madison, Wisconsin.

After that stint, he became a successful Sales Consultant in the Professional Beauty Industry; his territory covering parts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois. Buzz retired from this career in December of 2003. Didn't last but three months, when George discovered he didn't like retirement, so he found work with Home Depot, where he is still currently employed.

Because of his parents (Military), he was fortunate enough to have traveled a lot, and, had many opportunities and experiences in meeting all kinds of people from other countries, and seeing all the wonderful and different scenery and cultures. He has lived in Italy (Florence) for 2 years, Germany (Munich & Landshut) for 5-1/2 years, and in Japan (2 times) for 2-1/2 years.

Buzz is most proud of his “Hawaiian Heritage”, graduating from S.L.C., his 6 years in the Marine Corps, having four children and three stepchildren & thirteen grandchildren; having a BEAUTIFUL spouse, and for his good health (Thanks to the good Lord).

These days, George works, travels and “goofs off” whenever he can.

Contact George by contacting George Corenevsky at gcorenevsky@hawaii.rr.com or 808-455-7955 or at 98-1779A Kaahumanu St., Aiea, HI 96701.


THOMAS M. DeMELLO

1955

2008

Thomas Martin DeMello, nicknamed Tom, was born in October 1937.

Thomas lives in Seattle, Washington

He currently is without a spouse, but is courting a wonderful woman from Croatia, by the name of Ivanica.

Tom has five children (all boys), and five grandchildren.

Tom says that his hobbies are: fishing, swimming, and camping.

Thomas worked at a Green Bay, Wisconsin based Leicht Industries Corporation (Tri-L), and was assigned to the Vice President of the Trucking division. Tom eventually became the Vice President of the West Coast Region with Tri-L. He was later promoted to President of Tri-L Transport. The company was phased out and later Tom worked for Leicht Industries in their Truck Brokerage Dept. Tom is currently working with a company called Jabon Freight Forwarders as their Office Manager. He has been with Jabon Freight for almost 20 years, and says that even though he is 70 years old, he will continue on until either the company gets rid of him, or God calls him for judgment.

Tom had some difficult times during his life/career but struggles on like the Crusader he is. He is very happy working for Jabon Freight and says that he will reap rewards from their profits and a Bonus Program. He also is collecting his Social Security benefits. Must have lots of money – don't you think?

Thomas is most proud of raising his boys. Some of them have accomplished a lot, and the others not so much - - - but he loves them all... lots!

These days, Tom enjoys sports and also “visits” the Slot Machines at the Indian Casinos in his area. He doesn't move around much anymore because he has “bad knees”; and eventually, he will have knee surgery. Damn * * *
this getting old thing sucks!
