On Christmas eve, my brother called me over to the computer to show me some pics of the Vegas Reunion and I have to say "I'M BUMMED OUT" I soooo wish I could have been there but I knew nothing about it. Everyone was there!!!! Lisa you look exactly the same....so does James, Jeff, and Mel. I miss y'all! How is everyone??? I'm living here in Houston trying to get my Masters in Accounting. I'm engaged to an awesome "good looking" man, we've been together for three years. Now that I've discovered this site, I will keep a look out to see when and where the next reunion is and who might be there. I'm soooo sick about missing the one in Vegas, I will be at the next one even if it's in AMSTERDAM!!! :) Chris Blake where were you??? Christy Benton <christy.benton@emersonprocess.com> AB 91 Houston, TX - December 28, 2004 at 10:49:33 I just received the BratNews and it got me thinking about maybe trying to make the reunion this year -- have not yet been to one. Like many, others never really quite "got" where I came from. It would be nice to check back in a bit. The last time I was in SA was as part of the 1st Cavalry Division in 1990/91 when I met again a friend from Ras Tanura childhood, Tom Doody. I had stayed with Tom and his kind folks the night before I flew off to Vietnam, too. BTW_ best thing that ever happened to me. My wife and I have been married 33 years now so I got some good out of it all. Kind of a strange coincidence with Tom, though -- don't know what will happen if we actually get together again. Anyway, I'm still recovering from a 3rd spinal surgery, but much better now. After retirement from US Army (27 years as CW4, logistics officer), we settled in FL where my wife never, ever wanted to move again. Now, after 7 years here she is again talking about moving -- I guess it just gets in your blood!!! So, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and whatever else is PC now. It's funny how often my thoughts slip back to RT, even after so many years -- 38. Life moves very quickly!!! For any old friends/classmates wanting to reach me, please use the email here and I will reply with my personal one. Bob Bob Harris <raharris3@yahoo.com> RT 1966 Oviedo, FL -- NE Orlando - December 27, 2004 at 10:53:37 Hey fellow BraTs!!!

I just ran accross Doyle Rockwell's name on the internet, and it got me feeling all nostalgia-esque. I have develpoed a habit of making great friends, moving, and never having contact with them ever again. However, I do like to catch up every now and then. As such, finding thhis site could be the coolest thing that has happened in a month or two. Good to see how well everyone is doing and that there are friendships still flourishing. Contact me if you like, and if not... take care. -Lance Lance Hardy <kahnseed@bellsouth.net> AB, UD AB-'91 Gainesville, FL - December 17, 2004 at 10:22:32 Hello to all friendly city dwellers.I hope all of you are doing well at this year's end.

Drunken santa delivering gifts for the AWG, what a sight, I had to drive a couple of them home on occasion, sorry dad. And the Henderson's, the only family, who after lights were banned, lit there house with pride, Oh the good ol'days, the things we took for granted. Be cool to one another, and party on dudes!

Wow, I didn't even know this site existed! I guess living in Cairo hasn't helped me keep in touch, really. I hope I do get in touch through this site though... Just to keep you updated on me - I've been living in Cairo since college where I graduated with a degree in economics... I've been married for one year now to a wonderful man named Karim and I'm not a mom just yet! I'm busy working as a broker and I'm also still studying... hope to finish my MBA in a couple more years. Being so close to saudi allows me to go visit often, since my parents are still there.... believe me, I do live in the middle east, but saudi still has it's own aura. It's the only place I can call home - except of course now that I have my own home with my husband, I'm finally beginning to feel like I can call Cairo home... Anyway, it would be great to hear from any of the class of '93... please email me on maha.talab@eg.bartercard.com or post me a message right here.

I saw lots of names I recognized. It sounds like alot has changed. Im in Dallas still and working at Cingular Wireless--QA Testing (horray, horray). Not married, no kids. Keeping in touch with Isabel Al-Abayad pretty frequently. I have had some tough times over the past few months since my mother, Virginia Roach, passed away July 18th very suddenly from a brain tumor. She was initially diagnosed as having a stroke, but we found out a couple months later that she was terminally ill with a incurable form of brain cancer. We took care of her for five weeks before she passed away. I feel so lucky that we were able to tell her how much she mean't to us before she died. Dad retired from Saudi shortly after mom passed away and he is now back in Dallas. Anyway, I hope to hear from anyone who remembers me.

We need to organize some kind of get together, especially since either Steve Miksis's little impromptu mini-reunion has either fallen through or all those bastards don't want to kick it McKenney-style, but we should get the Austin brats together. Someone who is not me should organize it as I am a lazy bastard and if I do it it will end up being shots in my dining room while we gossip about all the people we hated in school.

I had heard about this place, but never stumbled upon it until now. Its cool to learn that so many people keep in touch from Saudi Arabia. It brings all the memories flooding back. In my last years in Saudi Arabia I probably spent most of my time getting into trouble for things I thoroughly deserved to... but hey everyone grows up thank goodness. Anyone who remembers me from Ras Tanura is quite welcome to drop me an e-mail. I'd love to get back in contact with people I used to know, to catch up to current time or to remenice, whichever anyone prefers. Well I'm in my mid 20s now and I work for a National Bank selling Morgages. Bradford is a Muslim city, so not that different from Saudi Arabia, just it doesn't have any sand.

I noticed the next reunion will be in Houston. I also noticed that a lot of the people who attended the past reunions were from previous classes, mostly early 80's and before. I hope to encourage the classes from late 80's to current to attend so that I might see someone I know! I don't get online much, so I hope that someone who knew me will e-mail. It'd be great to catch up. I probably won't make it back on for another year! I would love to have a mini reunion for RT class of 1992 in the Houston area sometime. E-mail me if you are interested. Thanks! Tiffany (Sumner) Boggan <TNBoggan@aol.com> RT 1992 Houston, Texas - July 07, 2004 at 15:03:02 On Saturday my older sister, Teressa, and her two children, Ethan and Emily were driving from my house to Target to pick up a couple of things. A seventeen year old girl ran a stop sign going very fast and hit my sister's minivan on the passenger side. The van fell on its side, skidded down the rode before finally rolling upside down. Teressa suffered muscle bruising and glass injuries from the windshield. Ethan, my 2 year old nephew, walked away with only a few scrapes but my 5 year old niece Emily, was life-flighted to D.C. Children's Memorial Hospital, where she under went 5 hours of brain surgery. The doctors actually had to remove the badly bruised part of her brain, located near the very front tip. They tell us that miraculously it is the only part of the brain that we do not use. She now has stitches all over her beautiful little face, and her eyes are black and blue and swollen shut, which only leads to her confusion and frustration when she wakes up. Thankfully she is waking up. Last night was the first time I've actually seen her coherent. She knew who we all were and even gave us hugs we before we left. I cried harder than I did when I found out she was injured. She is being moved from the ICU to the Neurosurgery floor so they can monitor her progress and begin her rehab. It is going to be a slow and painful process for her. One that she should not have to go through but now has no choice. Hopefully she will be recovered enough to begin kindergarten in the fall but sadly the gymnastics classes that she loves so much will have to be dropped. As for my family we are as well as can be expected. We are grateful that Emily and everyone else are alive, because when you see the car you wonder how they made it. My neighborhood has been wonderful, with neighbors stopping by to check on us and everyone praying for Emily. Personally, I will tell you that it has definitely been my faith that has helped me threw this horrible experience. If anyone wants to send Emily or Teressa, Richard or Ethan a card you can mail it to my house. They, along with my parents, little sister and niece Schylar will all be here for at least two more weeks. My address is 3504 Connor Place Frederick, MD 21704. Please pray for Emily.

Dave Wilbanks <BlazeDave420@lycos.com> ABQ 00 Idaho Falls, Id - June 29, 2004 at 03:01:51 All - Many of you who know me might remember back in Sept. 1991 my Uncle Ernie, Aunt Alice, and 8 year old cousin Emily were violently murdered in Barrington, Rhode Island. The story made national news (due to the weapon being a cross bow) and was picked up by CNN, AP, Reuters, Current Affair, Hard Copy, Inside Edition just to name a few. Two books were written as well; Death of An Angel by Don Davis (St. Martins Press); and Shattered Innocence by Susan Hightower (Pinnacle Books). My Dad and I spent 7 weeks in Providence attending the trial and Christopher Hightower was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. R.I. does not have a death penalty. The details of this case are so horrible no family should ever have to endure such a tragedy. Since the trial, Mr. Hightower was attacked in prison by a fellow inmate and nearly killed. He had to be transferred out of R.I. to another State for his own protection. I wanted to let everyone know that A&E - CITY CONFIDENTIAL produced a one hour TV story on the murders which will air this Saturday, July 3rd at 10 pm. EST.(check your local listings for an exact time to be sure) Fred Bobb, 3rd <camelman3@earthlink.net> Dh. 1972 Palm City, Florida - June 27, 2004 at 18:37:33 Just wanted to say hello to all my old friends out there.

Briony Scott (was Baugh) <bbscott2@austin.rr.com> DH 1995 Austin, TX - March 11, 2004 at 13:41:06 Hey - does anyone know where I can find myself some Saudi sandals? I've worn every pair I own completely through, and I have got to get some more. The only place that I found online is selling them for a ridiculous $50 a pair, which is insane. Didn't they used to be like 20-30 riyals back in the day? Anyway. It's an emergency. Summer is upon us, and I don't know what I'll do without what my husband calls my "toe-holsters." Seriously. Because I don't hang around with any of you brats anymore (not by choice, mostly), they've become my signature look. Do you want fashion to suffer? No, I did not think that you did.

The term "BRAT" is actually an acronym for "Born, Raised And Trained." If I remember correctly, it applied to children of military families who grew up to join the military. It may not be accurate, and it may sound bad, but it in no way implies the attitude of Aramcons. Anyway, just moved to the middle of nowhere. I'm actually 10 miles from where FOX taped "The Simple Life." Hope all is going well for everyone.

It was still good to see that some things hadn't changed though (like a little hair styling place in Khobar with a big neon "Saloon" sign in front!)

We don't take that title to mean anything but a loving reminder as to what we were fondly thought of by our parents...so lighten-up & join our happy collection of Aramco Brats! Skycrosser <skycrosser111@netscape.com> ABQ, DHA, RT & Jubail 71 Kabul, Afghanistan - January 17, 2004 at 15:20:43 I am confused why this organization with all of its good intentions makes use of the term "brat" in its name and allows that it reference a time considered precious. Time, being a continuum, does not by any definition separate the present from the past... and y'all are not facing up to the possibility that you actually can be more responsible about the present with all the connections it has to the past. Brats you may be, but I can't endorse that as a reference to my childhood in Saudi Arabia. To my credit I know where I am today so do me a favor grow up and drop the brats term.
