Hey everybody. It's a lovely day and I'm going deer-hunting,
which will actually consist of walking quietly behind my friend Ed as
I've never shot a gun in my life. Perhaps I will today.
The best Halloween costumes last night were a pack of hot
fly-fishermen and some pretty mysterious ladies who dressed
as...Arabs! I thought they did a nice job of it. I was Entropy, and
dead due to a cerebral hemhorrage. holla if you hear me.

Hi all, just wanted to say "HAPPY HALLOWEEN" to everyone. I was
just telling my husband that I wish our kids could just go and trick
or treat like we used to in Saudi. We used to have so much fun, I
wish my kids could have that experience. Anyway, just letting you all
know I was thinking about yall. Take Care.

It has been a while since I have visited the web page and over
time and computer changes I have lost most of my email contacts.
Just wanted to leave a quick note and say hello to all the brats and
anyone from Abqaiq that might be checking the guestbook from time to
time. Send me an email and say hello so I can catch up with

Hi just checking in! Sorry to all thoses who have been tring to
contact me. My webtv decided to die on me. I am back up but have no
address yet. I have been very ill. I found out I was prganent and
we were so happy. Because of my disability they sent me to a
specialist. They found that my baby had a very rare form of syndrom
called Cystic Hygroma and had no other choice but to terminate the
prenancy because fo the sevarity and the risk to loss of my life. I
had it done and I hate myself but we really had no other choice it
was eather the baby or the baby and me. I could not chance that they
only gave the baby a 5% chance of serviving at all. After the
procedure I ended back in the hospital do to to much loss of blood.
I had to be given 2 units of blood and was severly dehydrated. This
has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I would have
given anything to die myself to give the baby life but it would not
have worked.What the baby had is a 1 in a 10000 chance. The chance if
it happening again is 1 in a million. So we will continue to try to
have another baby as soon as possible. It just is so hard on the
body and the mind. I have to keep telling myself that there was no
other choice. It was creamated monday I was hopping that it would
help me understand but it hasn't. My iron is still low but I am able
to function. I do not want any more blood given to me. Please pray
for me and my family so we can finally have peace. Please understand
that we had no other choice we wanted this baby, God had other plans.
I am thankfull to have life. By the way the baby was terminated at 3
months gestation.
If you know anybody who have gone through this please let them know
thay are not alone. I will check in again as soon as I have a
address to give out. Love you lots windy

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on this site, so
here is what is important.
My wife, Melissa, and I finally had a son in 2001 (Jack Ethan). Then
just three years and a day later we had twin daughters (Isabella and
Julianna). They will be 4 and 1 respectively at the beginning of
November. If you want to see pictures, here is a link to my wife's
photo gallery (http://www.picturetrail.com/emyrald). I just checked
and June is the latest date, I'll have to get more pic's added.

Just wanted drop in and say hello...so many exciting changes going
on. My folks are new residents of Austin, finally. They lost all
their belongings (everything) in Katrina, but thankfully had sold and
closed on their house in MS Friday - Katrina hit Monday. The house
was still standing, but unfortunately had 9ft of water in it..The
most important thing is that they are safe and sound here in Austin.
Starting over from scratch, but safe. We are so thankful to have them
close! My husband and I are expecting our first little one, Jackson
Croix Wagenblast, on November 18th.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who have suffered
losses due to Katrina and Rita.

Hey guys!
I don't think I've been to this page in forever. So much has changed
in my life. Where to begin. Well, I married Michael and we've had a
couple of years together in a house that we absolutely love. We have
three cats and three dogs, a basset hound named Jackson, a chocolate
lab named Jake and a white german shep. named Memphis. Needless to
say we are never bored. Michal worked for the county for about 3 and
a half years and is now working for a private firm as a civil
engineer. He will be getting his PE soon. I am done teaching for
now...I did it for about 3 years and then I was diagnosed with
fibromyalgia, and so...I now work for a company called "The Teacher's
Workshop" We have a speaker's Bureau and we put on conferences all
over the contry, which is kind of cool bc I get to travel, and I am
also doing some editing of videos (educational ones). I am really
enjoying it. My boss also just wrote his first lesiure book called
Haunted Atlanta, and is going to be on TV here in ATL and I am
setting up the publicity for that (he has written 9 educational
books, but that doesn't really count in the real world.)
It was great reading about all of you. Anytime you are in the area
feel free to stop by or call. I miss you guys. I miss home! I guys
it's always a part of you no matter what huh? Mike and I will
probably be here 5-7 more years and then we are thinking of moving to
the coast, FL I hope, he is pushing for Arizona, but I want to move
to FL, so well see. Well, I love ya! Keep in touch.

Dear All and Ryan Stevens especially,
Yes I did put my Xmas lights up in Abq, despite instructions not to,
and my Saudi colleagues in the Security Department kindly left my
address off the list of houses with lights, who were later called in
to Personnel to be told to take them down. (Someone, you bet I don't
know who) ratted on me directly to Personnel and I was duly called in
and told to take them down. Which I was going to refuse to do, but
and this is the point, another hero rose in defiance before me, he
lived at the bottom of "H" Circle his name was Rick, his dog was
Mikey; when he was called into Personnel he went straight to the VP's
office where he was told of course he could keep his lights up, so
there lies the truth, well done Rick!
I admit I was one of the Father Christmas Men to but not to the drunk
bit!!

Hey! Haven't visited for quite a while so I thought I'd give a
shout out to everyone that knew me back in Abqaiq. I just heard
about Deniz - my thougths go out to her family and friends.
I'm back in Cyprus after finishing a degree in English Lit - been
back for 3 years now, and work as editor in a travel trade
publication out here. I visit the Middle East quite a lot, and it's
weird going back to that region, but not going 'home' to Saudi. I
dread going to Bahrain because I know I'll be nostalgic looking at
the causeway!
Every time I visit this page I begin to remember all the good times
in Saudi, and all the stuff we used to get up to.. :) At the time we
were dying to get out, but now, looking back, we created some
everlasting memories.
For all those that knew me, feel free to get in contact! I'd love to
hear from some of you again - it's been too damn long!

Hi, I was in Dhaharan from 1976-1979. It's been so long, I forgot
the name of the school where I went to Kindergarden, 1st, 2nd, and
part of the 3rd grade. It's in the big main camp, I used to walk to
school. My Dad is there now, and found our old house. After Dhaharan,
my Dad stopped working for Aramco and worked for Saudia Arabian
Airlines and we moved to Jeddah. I prefer Dharan any day over Jeddah.
Well, I'm grown up and have kids of my own, and now my second home is
in Istanbul, but I'll always remember my day's in Dhaharan, like
taking field trips to the dunes at the beaches. If any of you were
there or rememeber, give me a note...I rememeber my third grade
teacher there had only one useful hand and she had dark hair and she
was a little heavy. Anybody remember her?

Wow, what a flash back reading all of these messages...I'm at work
right now and needed a break so I looked Aramco up and found this!
Things are going well for me, I traveled for three years after high
school, then settled down back in Canada, went to school, got a
degree, got a job, got married, all that good stuff. I now work as a
high school counsellor which I love. Now and then I still hear from
former bratts, some of the stuff I have heard over the years I
haven't seen on this website, so I thought I'd pass on what I
heard.
Mary O'Flaherty (DH'95) - got married, I believe to an army boy in Hawaii!
Neil Carr (ABQ'94??)I had met him once or twice in Saudi and we ended
up at the same High School in Calgary, although I didn't recognize
him at first he was short and cute when I met him in Saudi, and tall
and very good looking by the time he got to Calgary. He's doing a
degree (or done) in buisness now and last time we chatted he still
lived in Calgary.
Mesha Morison (Dh'95) - My wonderful next door neighbor in Saudi!!!
She passed away a few years ago from cancer, very sad, she was the
sweetest person with an infectious laugh!
Thats about it, I would love to hear what everyone else is up to!!

To Gretchen161@msn.com in answer to her question regarding
Lebanese cookbook
Snowbar is pine nuts. Silq is swiss chard (they roll and stuff the leaves
and use the stalk in salads..stalk looks like celery.) Gourds are
Koussa or zucchini.
According to my friends who've been married to Lebanese for more than
20 years
squash isn't really used in Middle Eastern Cooking. Hope this helps.

Thanks for inquiring, Nicole. As you all know, my family is from
south Lousiana. Fortunately, everyone in my family was well west of
the storm, so they're okay. My husband's family had a harder time of
it. They mostly live in the New Orleans area and his sister has lost
her car and everything in her home. She and her children are safe
and on their way to the northeast. His step-father was trapped in a
hospital for many days without food or water and is now without a
job. His mother actually spent the whole week in City Hall with the
mayor and staff. Many of our friends are without a home and some are
already making plans to permanently relocate to other states. I am

I want to encourage all of you out there to please contribute in
whatever way that you can to the hurricane disaster relief...cash
donations, food, supplies, or volunteering.
There are tens of thousands of people from New Orleans that have been
brought to Houston. I have spent the last two days in the Astrodome
helping these people, and so much more support is needed and will be
needed for weeks to come. These people lost everything, yet they
remain very positive and are extremely appreciative of all of the
volunteers. However, having lost everything, many don't know where
they will go from here and how they will find their families, if they
can.
Please help in whatever way that you can. These people need you!

grandmother's house. Larson Norton (AB'83) & his family evacuated to
his in-laws in Kinder, La. They have their 3 kids & got some thier
horses rescued. Julie Dickinson (DH'91??) & her mother lost
everything in Gulfport, but managed to survive with her grandmother.

It really makes me sad to see what has happen to Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Alabama. I am originally from New Orleans and I
have family that still lives there. I have been in contact with most
of them, but communication is terrible. It breaks my heart to think
of what their homes will be like once they return. It makes me mad
to see what is happening to the city. Once a great city has now been
turned to riots, rape, murder. Its terrible. I pray for anyone who
has family or friends from any areas affected by Katrina. Keep your
heads high. We will all be okay if we stick together.

Baton Rouge is coming back on line, but there are still areas
without power. Communication is sometimes difficult because of the
number of people trying to reach loved ones. All shelters in Baton
Rouge have been filled to capacity with evacuees and refugees.
Cities further north are now opening shelters. The citizens of Baton
Rouge are donating clothing and necessities to the shelters and are
really stepping up. I'm going to bring donations today from myself
and other friends here at work. We collected money and they went
shopping. They came across others doing the same thing. Some
friends with boats went to New Orleans to help with the rescue.
Even with all of Louisiana and it's neighboring states pulling
together, the shear number of homeless is putting a strain on
everyone. I would like to make an appeal to all Brats to please do
what they can to help.
Yesterday evening, on my way home from work, I saw convoys of full
buses coming into the city from New Orleans and empty buses going to
New Orleans. These people have lost everything: their homes, their
jobs, their friends, their family....we don't want them to lose their
hope too. There are numerous ways to help.

I'm here in the land of ten thousand lakes, Minnesota, USA. Diana
Lynn (Boxer Rescue) has undoubtedly told you of my arrival along with
much trivia about supposed OCDs that I possess.
The tree came out of the river bottom nicely. I was on the dock
high and dry whilst she was knee, waist oh the hell with it I'm going
to get wet, deep in water picking out the branches while I walked
them to the bank on the tip of a four pronged hay rake.
While traipsing around on the soft bottom, Diana came up with
"clams." Actually, after trying to Google up a way to cook the
things, we found out they were fresh water mussels and a bit
endangered. So, being the good citizen that I am, I tossed em back
in the river. (That along with the fact that I was too lazy to
process them to my belly)
Later, I'll load some photos onto my web site for your enjoyment.

PORTLAND MAINE - August 23, 2005 at 14:28:14
Hello all,
Just wanted to give everyone an update on the condition of my sister,
Heather Boyes.
Two days ago she was rushed to the emergency room again with intense
pain and numbness in her arms. After a CT scan and various other
tests they have decided that her heart is not as stable as they had
originally thought. The transplant team had wanted to wait until the
antibodies in her blood had subsided before performing any further
surgery, but this process is not happening fast enough. So they have
decided to go ahead with the transplant despite the inherent risk of
rejection. They will instead begin cleansing her blood in a series
of treatments that is similar to dialysis. This is not ideal, but
they hope this will reduce the chances of her body rejecting the new
heart, when one becomes available. Her condition is compounded by
the fact that her blood type, B+, is found in only 2% of the
population.
She is at home again, but feeling pretty bad. She is in a lot of
pain and spends most of her time in bed. If you know her, or just
want to let her know you're thinking about her, please don't hesitate
to write her an email or send her a card. Her contact information is
listed below. She may not get back to you, but she gets everything
that is sent to her and hearing from all of you means a lot to her.
If you'd like to call her, or have any other questions, please
contact me know at my email below.

Well, well, well, Where do I begin? Wow so much has happened here
for me. Umm ok here we go. After returning from Mexico for a
soul-searching month stay, I returned to Scottsdale with no money, no
place, no cell-phone, and no car. How do you like those odds?? So i
managed to survive with freinds then found some work.........one
thing led to another and I labded a nice hotel job. I was determined
to find what is is I "really" wanted to do for money. Cartooning was
the answer. I would sit at Starbucks and draw and draw and draw.
Slowly but surely people began to approach me and ask questions, then
ask for prices, then referred me to others. I was making money doing
what I loved. Not alot but I knew that that is what I wanted. I
hated working for others( and still do). I walkd into a print shop
where I put a book together of my best work. Legendary cartoonist
Bill Keane (Family-Circus) is shown my work by a worker who knew me.
He writes me a note. I walk in the next day kinda bummed because I
felt like there were no results in my life. The worker hands me the
note and at that instant I knew........I just knew. So now that is
what I am persueing. I have been offered an Intructor's position at
Sun City Learning Institute for the fall of 06' teaching cartooning.
I am now getting ready to submit my work to the largest Syndications
in America. So next time you see a "garfeild" book on the shelves,
mine will be right there. Ok thats my story!!!!! umm
yeah...........Christy, Steve Sam, Ramzi, Kevin, And Carla H. I miss
you guys................oh my number is 602-301-1596...............I
knew my path would be different but I had no Idea!!!

Whew! It's a hot day in Houston today! And today I'm reflecting
back on the hot days of Saudi. One by one, we'd all show up at the
pool in Abqaiq, spend the day there hanging out, eat lunch at the
snack bar, then after the day at the pool was over, we'd jump in our
golf carts and eat dinner at the Golf club! Ahhhh...those were the
days, what brats we were and we had no clue at the time that one day
we would miss it!!!! Have a great day, brats!!! :)

Hi! Gosh it's such an amazing feeling to read messages from my
saudi friends. I miss you all dearly. Stephanie, congratulations...I
wish you happiness and all the peace & love in the world. I'm getting
married July 2nd, I'm definitely having a blast with all the
preparations and am very excited! Say hello to Kimberly! Mani, man
it's been been sooooooooooooo long! Say hello to Siva! It's great to
hear you two are doing well. =) I still have that video I filmed
during the last days of school, i've watched it a few times and it
always makes me emotional to see the smiles and goofiness and hugs we
all shared. You will all remain a part of me forever. I'm living in
dubai now so if anybody passes through here, send me an email, i'd
love to catch up. Dont know if anybody's still in touch with Rebecca
Evans. If so, please send me her email adress or smtn. In the
meantime, take care and remember:
Listen as your day unfolds,
Challenge what your future holds,
Try to keep your head up to the sky...
Lovers they may cause you tears,
Go ahead release your fears,
Stand up and be challenged
Dont be ashamed to cry..
You gotta be, you gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser,
You gotta be hard you gotta be tough you gotta be stronger,
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together,
All I know all I know is love will save the day.

for Jim Hill DH55, Dick Wilbanks DH56 & Mike Rodgers

the Sat. Dinner (28th) that Gail Eckberg Mcguire has
organized. Gail if you read this, who has signed up for the Dinner so
far ? I'm curious. 50 miles is a long way to drive for a burger and
to eat alone ! Had some email's with Lynn Martin & Danee Sullivan (my
sis's old bud's) as well as Gene Colgan. Also located Jackie
Patterson and spoke with her as well. Hope to see some friendly faces
on the 28th.

Maybe it is because it is 1am and I am dog tired or maybe the
planets are in alignment, but I think it is time to get a few things
off my chest.
First of all, hello to everybody I have neglected to write or
otherwise communicate with other last twelve years. Please drop me a
line and let me know what is going on. Brant Polkowski, your web
page is dead, email me and give me a usable email addy for you! Anne
Cook, how come I never got a wedding invitation? (I ask this NOW five
years after the fact.) Jason Kendrick, where the crud did you go? I
assume you are not still in Costa Rica, you would have run out of
money by now. Albert Huang, check in to Betty Ford! Nick Woo, yer
cool. Anyway, I am still living here in Washington serving on the
same submarine. The only difference is I married a lovely lady on
March 4th. Married life is treating me well so far. That's about
it. I DO miss the desert, though. I'll probably never go back,
which saddens me. Scott Boyes, I hope they find a donor soon.
Peace.

Anyways, Does anyone know of a henna lady (?) in the san francisco

Hello to all! It's been a few years since I last posted a message,
so I figured now's a good time. I got married last August and have
been having a great time since. Louise Tuin came from New Zealand, as
well as Adria Reimer and Melinda Hagen. Yaser Al-Nimr visited us last
December for several days, so it was really cool to see him again.
I had been living in Atlanta for the past 4 years after finishing my
Masters program in '01 and just moved to Denver about a month ago. My
brother, Brent Van Slooten, lives in Westminster - about 20 minutes
away from me, and my parents live in Colorado Springs so it's
definitely nice to be near family again.
I'm planning on taking (and passing) the last part of the CPA exam
next month. So my life is not much fun right now with all this
studying. Hopefully it will pay off! I'm really hoping to go to the
reunion next month. That will also give me a perfect excuse to visit
my other brother, Ryan and Kelley and see my wonderful niece and
nephew.
Best wishes to all. Scott Boyes: I will keep your sister in my thoughts.

This site is awesome! I lived in Abqaiq during 2nd, 3rd & part of

nickname "Mindy" and it has stuck with me ever since! In 4th grade
we moved to Dhahran - I rode horses with Vicki Fate- then sometime
during 5th grade we moved to Bahrain for a few years- then back to
Mississippi in the fall of '72. My family was good friends with the
Erwins - Bill & Mary, and their boys, Mike, James & Jess, whom I see
regularly. My parents were Paul & Kaye Giachelli, sadly they have
been gone for many years now. If anyone remembers a skinny girl from
Mississippi, send me a note - I would love to hear from you- would
also love to hear from the Carson twins- it's been way too many
years! Take care and have ag reat time at the reunion!

Hello,
Just wanted to give you all an update on Heather's conditon.
Unfortunately she is not recovering as we had hoped. A couple days
ago, she complained of numbness in her arm and tongue and was rushed
to the emergency room. After many tests, the doctors found that one
of her bypasses was not successful. They tried to insert a stint to
open it up, but this was not successful either.
They are going to put in a pacemaker to keep her heart beating regularly,
but the doctors have said her heart is failing. She is being put on
the transplant list.
If any of you knew her, this is the time to let her know that you
care. Needless to say, she is very upset and very frightened for her
children. Updates are coming in by the hour and we are still not sure
what the timeline is for all of this.
I have posted her contact information below again for anyone who
would like to get in touch with her.
You can always write me at this address if you would like to be put
on my list of those included in the email updates.
Heather is very scared right now, as we all are. Please keep her
in you thoughts as we move through this difficult time.
Sincerely, Scott

I live in Oviedo, FL just NE of Orlando, and the majority of my
family lives in the area. My mother, Bette Harris, is living now
with my youngest sister, Moira. I'll list the rest of the family
with approximate dates if we had stayed in SA. We arrived there
early 1950s -- Gail '67, Betty Lou '68, Mike '70, Moira '75? and
finally my youngest brother, Shawn was born in the USA the year my
folks left SA - '67, as the rest of the family enjoyed many
adventures in Ethiopia. After SA, I was drafted, met my wife in
Vietnam and all 3 of our offspring have college degrees despite being
dragged around the world as military brats. We are contemplating a
move towards the local beaches, but may want to consider more
temperate climes. My wife now goes to Vietnam every year since I
left the Army in 1997 and I accompanied every other while working,
but every trip now. We supported her mother, sister & husband +
their 2 children for the last 30+ years. I am slowed significantly
after 3rd back surgery and not allowed by MDs to work. The
acupuncture work done there has been very helpful and is cheap!!!
I'd love to hear from all and plan to attend this reunion with at
least 1-2 other siblings this year. Who else will be coming from

Greetings to my dearest friends and acquaintances,
Once again this website continues to amaze me! I've just seen the ABQ
91 reunion photos and am shocked to see that you’re still alive
Scott! I have to admit I wasn't sure that you'd make it! do you still
bear the wounds from the flaming arm incident? Also Master Cain Sr.
doesn't seem to have aged a day since I last saw him! good to see
that you’re both keeping well!
I'm not a regular contributor here but I thought I'd make an
exception this time to let everyone who knows my sisters know that
Maree is now engaged and will probably be getting married in the next
year or so. I reckon she'd like to hear from many of you so if you
want to get in touch with her. her email address is:
maree-dot-stevenson-at-gmail-dot-com
In the meantime to Abqaiq's class of 1993 I think of you all often
and I hope that all of you are keeping well! It’s almost twelve years
since we were all sitting blindfolded on a bus on our way back to the
dining hall to dance with our parents! ha! I hope that too much more
time doesn't pass before we're all in the same place at the same time
again! To those of you with whom I damaged some of my most important
internal organs, I hope that you too are all well, especially those
of you I haven't seen or heard from for years, particularly the Brian
M's, Scott, Doug & Steve B! And finally, to the lads...ooonoi
noonoi...I had to give you all a special mention there & promise that
once I'm finished in October I'll keep in touch a little better!

Hello all,
Just thought the Aramco community would like to know that my sister
Heather Boyes had a heart attack this past week and subsequent triple
bypass surgery. She turned 30 this past july.
She is now in stable condition and, from what my mother tells me,
speaking a little. She had just given birth to her third child just
days before.
For those of you who know about this sort of thing, the doctor
said it was: Spontaneous Arterial Dissection. Basically, pieces of
the inner wall of her artery broke free and stopped blood supply to
her heart. The doctor who operated on her said he does 300-500
surgeries a year and this is the second time he has seen this happen.
It is apparently most common in post-partum women.
It will be a long road to recovery. We are still unsure how much
damage was done to her heart.
Family, friends, and neighbors are all pitching in to help her
husband with the two children, and their newborn.
I know she would really love to hear from all of you in this
difficult time. Her contact information is below. Scott

Margaret Boyes - Heather (Boyes) Anderson's mother watnted me to
post the following regarding Heather.
On Saturday night at 10 pm she finished nursing new baby Luke Evan
and handed him to Chad and said that she was having terrible chest
pains and to call 911 - saying again I'm serious - call 911. We
called and
waited only a few minutes for them to come. They brought her to a
hospital that has a wonderful cardiac unit. I waited until Chad's
mother came to stay with the 3 children and I went over about 1l pm.
The Dr. who did the heart cath said that they needed to do surgery
and do it now - she had a heart attack and was having another one
there. Dr. Caskey came in and everyone involved, including the cath
Dr. said that he would be the one that he would want in these
circumstances. She underwent a triple by-pass during the night.
They took veins from her leg and chest
wall for that. The surgery was a heart pumping one - they did not
stop the heart. When all was connected the heart pinked up well but
all was not functioning. We do not know how much function will be
lost, etc.
She is stable this morning, although when she was writing us notes
on the clipboard yesterday she was in unbearable pain in spite of all
the meds but could not have more for pain as it made some of the
other numbers go up or down so they put her under more sedation.
They will try to wean her off the respirator today. Sister Carol's
research points out
how rare this kind of heart attack is - many victims are post partum
women. Don't know why the interior wall of an artery tears, leaking
blood between the interior and exterior walls of the artery, shearing
off other arteries in its path, hence the triple she needed. She
needs your prayers and love. Will try to keep you informed. Terry
comes in today. Friends and neighbors helping out here. We will be
moving house in a couple of weeks - crazy time in all of our lives.
We pray she will be better soon to enjoy the new home she picked out
recently with more bedrooms for the growing family!
Love, Margaret
Margaret and Terry can be reached via e-mail at MABoyes@aol.com.
Heather's e-mail address is c_anderson85032@hotmail.com (Heather will

Just a quick correction on my sister's posting about my brother
Donnie. He graduated in 86 from Abqaiq. Some of you, especially from
my age group, may remember him as a bully. But, he grew up to be one
of the most sweet and generous people you would ever meet. I willmiss
him dearly.

Today, I am writing with regret that my older brother Donnie has
past away. I am so confused right now and I cannot think straight
but I believe he would have graduated from ninth grade with the class
of 1987. Donnie had such a beautiful mind and a loving heart. I
just hope that you who remember him still think of him. Donnie had a
beautiful daughter named Darian Stoetzel in 1994. She thinks the
world of her father and is very heart broken by her fathers death.
Donnie was a very smart person and had soooooo much going for him. I
loved him so much. Donnie was only 33 years old. I hope that there
are still a few of you that still remember him and care about him. I
know he meant the world to me. It doesn't seem real to me. I don't
know if it will ever seem real to me. I know that my oldest child
realizes what is going on but my younger two do not realize what has
really happened.
Those of you who remember my brother please write me. I would like
to hear from you.
Thanks for listening,
Lisa

Just discovered this site last night, it is quite a blast from the
past. I probably recognised more names from my brothers' time (Ryu
and Miki) than my own. I remember Mrs Robinson, Mrs Zebronich
(spelling?) Miss Tofano and Mrs Higdon - does anyone remember purple
passes? I knew a kid called Charles who always had more than me =0(
I would love to hear from the likes of Sirin Torpis (younger sister
called Emil), Jill Saturback (who had older sisters called Anne and
Becky) , Jill Oliver, Julia Moench and anyone else who remembers me.
As for my younger brothers.... if all goes well, Ryu should be
unleashed on the National Health Service sometime this summer - can't
believe it! As a doctor, not as a patient. And Miki is now a Royal
Marine commando and is stationed in Iraq, hopefully he will be out
soon.

Hello Everyone! I haven't checked in on this site in AGES! I just
read the last year's worth of postings. I definitely recognized some
names. It's wonderful to read the messages and relive such terrific
memories.
I have been looking for Tina Aguto for years. If anyone knows where
she is, please e-mail me.
Also, just want to send a few-days-belated birthday greeting to Roger
Patel (his bday was 1/9). And Danny Simpton is celebrating his
birthday on 1/13. If any of you happen to see them, wish them the
best -- and tell them I said hello!! I do talk to Danny sometimes.
He is in Texas. I think Roger is as well. Adrienne Costas (now
Belaire) actually lives in Dhahran. She and her husband, Jeff, have
two beautiful sons.
As for me, I live in Delaware with my husband of 11 years (Eric) and
my two sons. Alexander is 8 yrs old and in 3rd grade. Justin is 5
yrs old and in Kindergarten. My brother, John, lives nearby and has
3 children. He graduated from UDH in 84.
I hope all is well with you. Drop me a note if you remember me. And
HAPPY 2005!!

Thank you Peni for the reunion in Vegas. I can't express in words
how much fun I had. For all of those who could not make it, I hope
you make the next one. It's funny how it was like we've never been
apart. It is even better when you can walk up to someone you haven't
seen in ten years and give them a hug. Praying to god that person
recognizes you. Oh, what a feelin!!!!!!!!!!! We are brothers and
