Having beers with fourth grade classmates! Vince, Jose and I were classmates in fourth grade in St. Sebastian School. They both moved after fourth grade unfortunately so we never got in touch until I found Vince's wife, Reina, on Facebook. St. Sebastian School (before it became a parking structure for Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital where my mom used to work) was on the corner of Halsted and Wellington. Per Google Maps, it is 0.6 miles away from Graystone Tavern. Cheers Vince & Jose!  Thanks for meeting up!   L-R: JF PERSEVERANDA, VINCENTE TIBUDAN, JOSE TIGTIG At the Graystone Tavern after the Chicago Cubs game
