Fil Am Writers Gather in Santa Monica, CA

 

A group of us had lunch at my home with the writer Brian Ascalon Roley (author American Son) who's visiting Santa Monica, CA. Present were: Joselyn Geaga-Rosenthal, Brian Roley, Marilyn Alquizola (America is in the Heart: a Personal History revised), Jaime Geaga, Noel Alumit (author Letters to Montgomery Clift), and me.

 

We had such great fun talking about literature, politics, being Filipino/Fil-am, and other topics.

 

We are planning another get together when Brian returns, and that will be in Historic Filipino Town, LA.

 

I'm sharing photos that we took. The selfie shows, l-r: Noel, Jaime, Cecilia (in red) , Brian, Joselyn (in yellow), and Marilyn.

 

We missed Herminia Menez Coben,  Paulino and Barbara Lim.
