Ruth,
lynn and hector, you all are very welcome. first class is the way to go. merry x-mas to all and may 2004 be an awesome year for all of us. God bless ruth
I'll second that one! Ruth set me up primera clase years ago too - it can definitely be said that Ruth takes care of her own!!! :) And Ruthie, I held on to that "payback" bottle of Ron for many years, but what can I say, I got weak!
This is yours truly, I hope everyone is ready for the holidays. Respect to the inspection crew, ha ha, ha....I hope everyone is in great health and happy holidays. By the way I am in my garage listening to Panamania Radio Stations what a blast to the past. By the way Ruth thanks for the hook up a couple years ago, primera clase para Panama, ha ha....
Wow...100 hundred years this month. We are all part of this history. What a thought. Anyways, I wanted to say Happy Holidays to each and every one of you. It was great to see most of you this summer and hope to see you again and to the ones that couldn't make it, don't miss our next one! Denise - I am glad to see your posting, it ws nice to see an old friend. Happy Holidays!! :)
Hello All Classmates of 1983! My name is Denise Farley Andrews. I lived in Panama during 1979-81 and went to Curundu Junior High and Balboa High School. My brother, Rick Farley graduated in 1981 and we moved to Virginia. We lived at Ft. Clayton and Ft. Amador. My nickname was DeeDee. We use to hang out at the youth centers with Lisa Samson, Derek Gallardo, Susan, Lisa and Robert Merwin, John Wagner, Dawn Sutherland, Laura Kunkel Kurt Weismuller, Eric Gunn, Paul Trees, Shanna Witten. At Ft. Clayton we hung around, Alex and Danny Bally, Zane Pierce, Jerry and Larry Litrell. A lot of names on the Class List are familiar to me and I wanted to say Hello to all of my long lost friends. I went to my 20th graduation here in VA and it made me think of all of my friends I grew up with in Panama. I saw your class pictures and I wanted to see if you all remember me. Please email me at dfapg@aol.com I would love to hear from you. My brother attended his graduation in 1981 and said he saw a lot of people. Write Me!!!
hey guys, i hope this little note finds everyone well. just wanted to let you all know that i have 16oz mola glass for sell. 4 to a set. if interested please email me. thanks, ruth mcarthur coffman rcoffm@coair.com
crazy kids....
Why Laura K., if I took you and Squirley to Hooters, you'd both be recruited! PS If you can find me a hotel near where you guys live, that'd be great
Well..I see the challenge is on! We best meet up guys....NOT Hooters! Steve, call me if you need a place to stay. See ya soon! If anyone else is interested on meeting us, give me a call....Shirley, call me.
Steve, You're on babe!!!!!
Shirley, The gauntlet has been thrown and I accept your challenge; loser buys the alka-seltzer. My cell is 713-252-0531
Steve, You best call me when you come to Tampa!!! We'll go out for drinks (I'll beat you to the bottom of the bottle). 813-831-4114
Laura K. Anderson, I will bring the photo with me when I come out to Tampa next week (October 28/29 tentatively) to interview prospective sales managers. I have adds running on Monster.com and CareerBuilder, but any local Tampa/Jax area referrals are definitely welcome. I'll go to Eckerds and have them copy the photo to bring to you. Reserve a big bottle of rum and I'll race you to the bottom!
Monica de Mena 15 Oct 2003 A great opportunity for another get together. The celebration of "El Centenario de Panama". (Panama's 100 years) Here is the link and all the information. http://www.consuladogeneraldepanama.com/cultural_events.htm See you there!
Hey Class of '83- MANY GIGANTIC THANKS to the organizers of the reunion!!! I had such an incredible time, and wish the weekend lasted seven days! :) Those days at Curundu and Balboa were really magical in many ways, and as I grow older I realize how much we all experienced at that time that was just amazing. I enjoyed seeing everyone who attended and missed many who weren't able to go. It has been a bit rough in NYC for the past couple of years, and being with the class of '83 really lifted my spirits. Although I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people, I will really try with you guys. If any of you are in the NYC area, please look me up. Jackie and Valerie, you will definitely be hearing from me. Thank you all for your generosity and spirit!!!
Hey Headhunter....still waiting for a class picture that I was ripped off of. Not happy about that at all. But hey...I had a great time at the reunion! Email me also with any openings that you may have. Hope all is well....still no response to having a local reunion here in Tampa...bummed. If you are interested, please contact me! I need a head count! I dont want to reserve something and no one shows. I understand there is a reunion in Miami area and Jacksonville...anyone have the dates? Please contact me at MsLaurasZoo@aol.com. Have a great Holloween! Take care.
okay steve, jax has Univ. of North Florida, Tampa has Univ. of South Florida and Univ. of Tampa and St. Leo College (private.) I think Daytona only has a community college. I'm sure there are community colleges in Jax as well. Tampa, I know has Hillsborough CC. You didn't say whether you wanted Comm colleges or not. You should be able to pull all of the universities up on the internet. hope this helps...good luck.
I intended to say "with area colleges" below, not "with are colleges". I know that I live in Texas, but we don't all talk that way. Steve
Yes, it's me again, spicing up the message board with more things that have nothing to do with anything Zonian, but I still need some help and I know that you all are the best source for it. I am trying to establish some relationships with are colleges in Tampa, Jacksonville, and Daytona Beach. Could someone, anyone, provide me with some names of some of the area universities in those afforementioned cities where I could recruit some business school graduates? I will most likely be looking to recruit marketing, liberal arts, and general business (BBA type) grads.
Thanks again,
Steve, Please email me, I'm interested about more info on your job positions. Thanks
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to say how great it was to see everyone at the reunion and what a great time I had. Hope to see all those faces next year! To those who could not make it, we missed you. Thank you to those that made our 20th such a great success and such fun for everyone. Love to all! Steve, I live very near Daytona Beach. You can contact me at sandrcatlett@aol.com. I may have some leads for you.
Hello class of 1983 from Eric Hoppe. I should have graduated with all you but my family relocated after I finished Curundu. Saw a lot of very familiar childhood friends on this site and I'd love to hear from you. It's nice to see how everyone turned out. I live in Seattle, WA ... married w/ 2 kids. Please write me at ehmanages@yahoo.com or forward my email on to any mutual friends. Thank you all for the good memories.
Paula,
Thanks,

Hey guys...I need a little bit of help. I paid for my class picture but still havent received it. I see that Steve got his, did anyone else get theirs?? If so, does anyone know who I need to contact to find out what happened to my picture? Thanks.
Hello everyone!! I had a great time at the reunion this year. Thanks to all the classmates who made it a wonderful celebration. The times in CZ were the bests. Nothing can compare!!! It was so great to reconnect with old friends that I haven't been keeping in touch with over the years. Shirley and Connie lets be sure to stay in touch. I am down in FL at least every other year. Deneen, Venus, Andre and Ricardo, I had a blast- it was nothing like the 10th reunion (for me). If any one ever finds their way to freezing CT, look me up. Take care and see you at the next reunion.

hey everyone...had a wonderful time at reunion!!! Boy, did that weekend just fly by!!! What fun! I know everyone is looking forward to seeing pictures of the reunion. I tried to take pictures, but I'm a little camera challenged and really didn't end up with as many as i would have liked. If any of you have pictures of the reunion weekend, we would love to post them on the web site. (Paula will just love me for this!!) Please e-mail them to Paula and she will post them as soon as humanly possible. I would love to see any pictures you all might have of the group...i know someone must have one..there were tons of spouses in the room taking pictures!! By the by, is anyone interested in stepping forward to head up the 25th?? I know i heard a couple of you making some noise about it!! Memory is bad from that night...but was it James and Lynn??? Let us know!!! Maybe it was Shirley and Venus...no that was something else....
Thanks Shirley! Now, there goes all the BHS/PCC education out the window! I should have figured that one out! Too funny. Then again, we had Wangs!! Anyone remember Dr Lam's class?! I am still waiting on any feedback. I would like to invite everyone - especially the "newly native" Floridians to come to Tampa for a get-together. Let me know what month is best for you so I can narrow it to a democracy vote. I realize there is a reunion in Jax...but that is for the Soceity. I was hoping on something just for us!
Laura -- Lourie's email address is lourie.rendino@timken.com Have you had anymore inquiries of the "mini reunion" here in Tampa??
Lourie! Ive been trying to find you! How are you doing?! I tried to write to the email address you provided, but to no avail. It came back as an invalid server. Can you revise? Or drop me a line! MsLaurasZoo@aol.com
Hello Strangers ! Sure have missed all of you. I'm sorry I missed the 20th class reunion, it sounds like everyone had a great time. I have been in South Carolina for the last 20 years. I have been happily married for the last 10 years and I have a wonderful daughter, her name is Andrea Marie Rendino. I spoke to Shirley Avery and we made plans to make the 25th reunion. I would love to hear from you guys. My e-mail address is lourie.rendino@timken.co
If any of you come to The big T.(Texas)And don't come down Corpus Christi way I'll be Dipped in Mustard. I had a great time at the reunion. Just hope that all can make the Texas reunion in Kerville in Dec. It has only been a short time and already I miss all of my canal zone Friends.Shoot me an email once in a while. Hope to hear from all of you.Take care and God bless each of you.
Ladies and Gents of the organizing committee, GREAT JOB!! I had a blast, pity we can't do it every month. It was great seeing everybody. Shirley, would not have been a party without you my dear. Who says whipped cream is best served cold with fruit...... If any of you are ever close to Texas A&M please give me a call, you're always welcome.
Hey guys, remember me? Whip cream lady!! I really had a blast at the reunion, thanks David, Dawn, Paula,Andrew and everyone else. I missed those of you who did not show up, maybe at our 25th. Venus I hope to see you there! Dearly no queerly. I heard about a reunion in Jacksonville, is it similar to the Orlando one? Someone please let me know. Paula thanks for the picture of us in the Champions Bar, it looks great! I hope you all keep in touch.
Hi everyone sorry I missed you all at the 20th reunion I would of loved to of been there to see all my old friends. I was at the 10th and had a blast. From what I've read it sounds like it was as good as always. I would love to here from any of you guys. Take care!!! email Muckalee@bellsouth.net
I had a great time at the Reunion! Thanks to Dawn and Paula! Great job, girls! Its always great to see old friends and glad to see some that we didnt expect to show. Andy, great job on the slide show, I was impressed. You sold me on going back home, as a tourist! I am thinking about putting together a mini-reunion here in Tampa Bay, if anyone is interested drop me an email. MsLaurasZoo@aol.com
Rick D. - what a great toast! I will have to remember that one. I was looking through an old photo album and found a picture of you and me when we were five at a halloween party at the gym in Gamboa. I was a ballerina and you were a hobo. I think you were my date! Ha, is that a trip! If you want to see the photo email me your email address and I will get it to you. My email address is LOnstad143@aol.com. Would love to hear from all BHS83 classmates. God bless.
Hello everyone... sorry I missed you all for the 20th. My thoughts were with you. Paul Skrable... what are you doing in Bagdad? I hope all is well with you and my prayers are with you that you stay out of harms way! debbie@oakzero.com
Hi all! Had a blast at the Reunion, was fun seeing everyone again. Does anyone by chance have an email address for Venus Roman??? We didn't get to finish catching up on friday night. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The Zonian Toast May the Gamboa Road be your path in life; Let the dry season winds always be at your back. May the rainy season ripen the mangoes in your tree, Let the sun rise out of the Pacific And shine warm upon your face on the Causeway. And, until we meet again, remember… Those who have drunk the waters of the Chagres Shall prosper and always be Friends. -Written by Terrell Deakins
I must say that it was so awesome to see each and every one of you. I feel so out of touch way out here in Texas. My husband and I had a wonderful time and I take my hat off to all of you who organized this outstanding gathering. I wish everyone well in all of your adventures and may God keep everyone of you blessed and safe now and forever. My thanks to all of you that made me laugh. You truley filled me with joy. Cheers to all of you.
It was a wonderful time and very entertaining! Thank you very much for the great conversations, kind words, and for enlightening me with tidbits of information I had no idea of! Un beso y fuerte abrazo, friends.
Ditto on the thanks to the organizers!...It was wonderful to see all of you...Even if singing for you was nerve wracking….I would also like to thank those of you who supported me by purchasing my CD, and for the wonderful email reviews! Please share my music with friends and family...That is half the battle in this business...I appreciate all of you so much! Who knows? Maybe a Zonie will make it in the music biz, and our twenty-fifth reunion will be with a huge live band!...You better believe I’d do it too!!! Let me know when any of you are in my neck of the woods...You are always welcome! czdreamer@hotmail.com
To the committee girls and guys - For those of you I did not get to thank personally - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - You all did such an incredible job and have now provided us with more wonderful and unforgettable memories to chalk up. It was so great to see everyone again. Appreciatively, Lisa Corrigan
I'd like to add another thank you to the reunion committee for a great production! The familiar faces from my five years in the Zone were a welcome site and I felt very welcomed by all. Shirley, you are still the life of the party! Thanks to all who I had the honor to have spent time with. Steve
To the Reunion Committee - Dawn, Paula, Rae, Laurie, Laura, Andrew and David, Thank you for a great 20th year reunion. I know it is difficult to plan an event of this type and you all did it wonderfully. Thank you! I'm so glad I was able to attend, even if I arrived late. It was so great to see everyone. Thanks for the memories.
Class of 83 - It was nice seeing those of you who made it to Orlando. I missed the 10th so I made sure to attend the 20th. Since I live in Ft Myers, FL most of you know I'll be back year after year to split my time between the Curundu Gang (viejos), Balboa/Gamboa people (ridge boys) and the Ancon Fishbowl Gang (pelaitos). Sorry I missed the class photo!
Hi Everyone, It's been a long time! Since i will not be able to attend the reunion this year i'm sending some info on me. I have been living in Phoenix, AZ for the past ten years. I have my own business doing interior design and i'm blessed to love my work. I hike, do yoga and go latin ballroom dancing every week. I have a boyfriend - Bill. He's a real sweetheart. I am divorced and have not been able to have children. My family and friends are priceless. They bring much support, love and laughter, especially during the difficult times. I go to Panama every year and enjoy every minute of it. I will there again this Christmas. It seems the older i get the more i can laugh at myself (very important as you get older) and the more fun i have. I will be thinking of you this weekend. I am so sorry i will not be able to see your sweet faces and get to know you all over again. My best wishes are always with you and your loved ones. Have a fabulous time! Elizabeth Cisneros
It's great to see so many lively posts so I hope you are all ready to party like its' 199...uh 2999!Steve I'll bring my glove but I'm not making any promises my (homer Simpsonesque) body can't keep.
Hey party goers, Luis Payne lives in Orlando and he has been working with me to find a baseball field for us to play a baseball/softball/football scrimage. So far, Luis has found a school within a mile radius and he is keeping me in the loop as to his progress. To make a long story short, if you are interested, bring your glove/bat, etc. and if we can get a game together for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday morning/afternoon. Thanks and I'll see you there..
Need old pictures of the Yacht CLub or Elks Club, Knights of Columbus, Summit, The chicken coop, and or Middle Bar, College Bohio, THe VFW, Gamboa golf club. Please no pictures needed of El Rancho it looks exactly the same as it did 20 years ago. Thanks a bunch, email to captainanadrew@yahoo.com, thanks Rick Deakins for your pictures. Bottle of Cortez, or A PCC license Plate will be awarded,
17 jul 2003 Well Laura, you asked for personal information... ha,ha Anyway, just disregard. Hasta pronto!
Monica, thanks for the information. But wow! That was personal. I am no longer accepting any photos from the class as there was barely any response. One person that I also asked about was Doug Harris. His family was old family-friends and cant seem to find him. If anyone has seen or heard from Lisa or Doug can you please tell them that I am looking for them. Thanks a bunch! Reach me at MsLaurasZoo@aol.com. See you all soon!
17 Jul 2003 I know she is in Miami. I found this number listed on her name (305) 468-8024 . Try it.
Has Any Boddy heard from Lisa Samson? Luara K. and myself have tred to email from the adress gained from this site. Haven't haerd from her. Is the adress good or what. We would like to haer from her if any of you know her where abouts. I just wanted to see that all was well with her and Luara & Lisa where good friend in the Zone. Thanks Ray
The Wreckin Crew was not related to a particular sporting event or a team. This group was originally formed in 1981, by 6 individuals who shared the same ideas and goals (Partying). The total membership was twelve members, and were part of the Red Machine and Bulldogs football team. The members of the Wreckin Crew would like to send out their regards to our sister crew "The Inspection Crew."
Buckle up It's gonna be a long and rough ride!!!!!
Hey People: Enough of all this talk concerning the "Wrecking Crew." While it is true that I left in 1980--too soon to be a part of the Balboa White of '83--it must be noted that the we had our hayday in the late 1970's. Besides, there was an obvious talent drain of individuals whose last name began with M thou Z at or about 1980 (smile).
Hi everyone...Well, I finally did it! I cut my first CD, and it will be ready..Get this!....the day before the reunion...I've been really busy trying to tie up the loose ends...So if anyone wants one, let me know, and I'll bring it up...The music, from what all the critics say, is Sade meets ecstasy....Very cool rhythms...you can email me at czdreamer@hotmail.com...Can't wait to see you all!....Love to hear from you, even if you don't want a CD...Take care!
Steve- during the day would not be a problem as far as the society's concerned...... I think they dictate more during the evening.??? anyways, i'll bring my softball mitt/ play whatever
I have heard that the Marriott World Hotel gets pretty packed and I know that we cannot have any on-site activities that conflict with the Panama Canal Society's events, but would anyone be up to getting together off-site to play softball or football? I could bring some equipment since I'm driving. I don't know if this would be feasible, but we could do it if we tried. Is anyone interested? I'll bring the Advil.
Hello all, Like everyone's said, it's hard to believe it's been 20 years already! I just got a note from Dave Snook (class of '84) saying that someone posted I was gay ~ so I came to check it out. I can't find the post, though by the looks from other posts something was said somewhere! Just to let you all know ~ I'm not gay, never have been...I know who posted the note as I've been "cyber stalked" for awhile now ~ I just really apologize that it filtered all the way to here. Sorry! Have a great reunion ~ unfortunately I won't be there...I just adopted a beautiful baby girl from China and my hands are full! Have a Panama for me! Julie
Paula, Thanks for setting everyone on the right track. At the least they ought to put their full name so those of us who don't remember them can look them up in the year book. Can't hardly believe its been 20 years. I can't wait to see all of you.
Talk about crying on the football field DAVE RIVERA, if I recall it was me who made you cry. GO RED MACHINE!!! Man I miss those days. It was nice to see some names I haven't heard in a long time. Good luck with the power point presentation ANDREW. I'm trying to get there Mike Criswell RED MACHINE #33 Muckalee@bellsouth.net
thank you Paula!!!!
Enough Already. Reminder to all - this is a guest book intended for former friends and classmates to reconnect with each other - this is NOT a chat room. I will be deleting all anonymous posts (including first name only posts) on this page. If you wish to sign in and post a message - please be kind enough to include your full name.
Tara....apparently these people can't even be nice to their own classmates, let alone the spouses/ partners. i think its pretty sad. i hope kevin, julie and whoever else know the ignorant comments are NOT how all of the people in the class feel!
I just stopped by to wish you all a great 20th reunion -- but reading some of the comments below I just had to say more. One of our specific goals was to make the spouses/partner's feel welcome -- if they don't have a great time too, then they're not likely to want to come back for another reunion. We also made sure to welcome those in our class who brought their gay/lesbian partners. It's not a big deal, your efforts will be appreciated and your class will grow even more unified. Vive le Difference!
pick on kevin laakso, must perform like RED MACHINE PLAYERS, not bulldogs players , cause you know i made you cry on the foot ball field!!! DAVE RIVERA #37
Hi all, sure brings back good memories browsing through this site. Though I left before graduation I still feel part of the BHS class of '83. Have fun at the 20th.
To all who wish to get intouch with me I can be reached at midasmonkey@AOL
Well Class of 83, I'm finaly online. Reading all the notes everyone left has brought tears to my eyes. It is good to see that so many of you are alive and well. I'm looking forward to the reunion, With hopes of finding some old beloved friends. To all who remember me I hpe we can pick up where we left off. for those of you who don't remember me, well I hope to meet you soon.
HEY,JOHNATHEN YOU CAN REACH ME AT RIVERACZ@AOL.COM (IAM AT WORK STILL)!!!!!! JUST SURFING IN. ROCKIN'DAVE
Does anyone have a current e-mail address for David Rivera? The ones listed on your web site are no longer valid. Thanks, Johnathen
Robles, Yes, I'll be at the reunion. I could bring my 12-string hollow body guitar, but I refuse to play any Tommy Tutone, but I'll sure join you on some BOC or any old Nugent tunes.
Hasta,
Hey Rick Martinez! Bring your guitar we'll jam and do Jenny-Jenny and the Reaper, Haha. How embarassing is that? Seriously, bring your guitar.
Steve: Of course I remember you. I don't recall your teeth though. Are you going to reunion? To answer Subter, Julie M. didn't marry but she did just recently adopt a baby and last I spoke to her she is dating someone. Unfortunately, she won't make the reunion. She's the program director of a Marathon training program in Wash. DC and regularly runs marathons herself. Kev, see you in Orlando you lunatic. Good times, Ted
Does anyone remember Lourie Bell? Do you know where she is? Please let me know. Thanx
Ted Robles, I remember when you used to pitch for the Twins (I played on the Pirates and then, the Blues for a short time). Do you keep in touch with the Welebob family or with any of the families that you lived near on Amador? Derek was one of the last people who I saw before I left, he was walking around Amador and I was caddying at the golf course. Don't worry if you don't remember who I am, no one else does either, I left in the ninth grade and I am cursed with this memory. I'll paraphrase someone else who didn't remember me, he said "yeah, I remember you; didn't you have crooked teeth?
Hope all is well in DC,
Hi Ilka: That's awesome that you've kept in touch with Angie. Our parents are still good friends and she and Paul went to the same college in Germany as my sister and I. Charlotte Sandquist and Jordan Gross were also there. Jordan was in our class I hope she goes to reunion I haven't seen her in years. Derek was telling me about the Miss Universe pageant. I'll have to catch the survivor in "las Perlas" this year. Maybe someone will get Munched. I just sent my check to Dawn so I hope to see you at reunion. Salud, Ted
Hey Ted Robles. Where in D.C. are you and Derek Gallardo? I live in NC and I have been to Warrenton, VA several times to see Angela Rodriguez. Does she know where you are? Weren't your parents good friends? Oh well, so you missed the Miss Universe pageant... They had beautiful shots of Panama.
Hey you ugly old warts, no wait a minute thats just me. Derek Gallardo and myself will be coming down from Wash DC. so I hope to see some of you at reunion or at least til da firs bokkle a rum kicks in den who knows what I'll see. If you get tired of hearing boring stories about peoples kids come talk to Derek and me, we don't have any. No, we're not Fruits. But it's ok if you are. Ilka thanks for the heads up on Miss Universe, missed it anyway. Spencer, I havent seen you and Jenny in well 11 years. 3 boys, well done hope you guys can make it.
Hello Everyone! Looking forward to seeing all of you very soon! Just a reminder to tune in... Miss Universe is broadcasting live tonight June 3, from Panama Rep. of Panama! on NBC at 9:00. Also the CBS TV show Survivor that airs this fall is being filmed in the Perlas Islands of ... Panama, of course! Pretty neat huh?
Paul Skrable is a sight for sore eyes! Drop me an email...you didnt give yours on this site. I have also been looking for Doug Harris, has anyone seen him or heard from him??? Yesterday, Shirley Avery, Amy Green, Dawn Sutherland, and I met up at Hooters of all places to get this shin-ding together...and we had a surprise - Steve Gayer walked in! Awesome time! Hope everyone has cleared up their plans to come to the Reunion, it would certainly be fun! Looking forward to seeing all of you!
Dawn, My check (yes, with the late fee) is on it's way to you. This will be my first CZ reunion event. What is the dress code for the Saturday night dinner/dance? I wouldn't want to show up in shorts and find out that it's a coat and tie event.
Thanks,
Blue Iraqi Skies, greetings from Baghdad
steve j, david d. is taking care of the hospitality suite on friday night and i believe he is planning on having panama cerveza on hand in the suite. you can e-mail him directly if you want, his address is on the web site. you will have to send in your registration form and check if you are planning on attending. hope we see you there.
Will any of our 83 grads be bringing some Cerveza Panama to the reunion? Is there a fund set up for this? I have only seen Panama beer in the states once and that was in San Antonio back in the early 90's.
Thanks,
Hey K-boy, I have that photo of Wrecking Crew in the pool. Send me your e-mail Rey Holder
Hello folks I was very surprise to see my name requesting donation for my air and hotel fare. I have a strong suspicion of who is responsible for this hoax. The person is attempting to cajole me to attend the reunion. He calls me every day to get an update on my status. It is obvious this he can not make a decision without my participation. I would like to apoligize to everyone who attempted to log on the the so call web-site. There is no such site on the web. I do not need any donation for my airfare / hotel. I have received many e-mail in regards to this issue. Once again I do not need any donation. Thanks Hector Hoyte for making me the scapegoat. Rey
Alright damit!! I still know some spanish...but I speak it better when I've had a few...or at least I think I do. What's up wrecking crew!!!
Hello all- I'm going to try to answer some of your questions. Our reunion is held in conjunction with the Panama Canal Society's annual reunion. The reunion is held at the Orlando Marriott World Center. This Marriott is located close to Disney. Most of the people attending the Reunion will be staying in that hotel. There usually is over flow to other hotels in the vicinity...so get your room reservations in early!! The Society has many activities planned throughout the week end. If you choose to go to any of these events, you can purchase tickets in advance-they are in the packet you received when you became a member of the society. Our class reunion is considered a "mini reunion." I will be sending separate reservation forms for Class of 83 events in the next few days. Our events can not conflict with the events of the Society. I hope this answered some of your questions. E-mail me directly if you need to. Dawn7of9@aol.com Looking forward to hearing from everyone.
Hey class of '83, Since I will probably be my usual day late/dollar short, could someone tell me where the bulk of our reunion will be held? I know that it is going to be in Orlando, but at what hotel and nearby places, etc.?
Thanks,
Hello Everyone. Dear Dawn, Paula or Rae Ann. What activities do we need to sign up for. Do we need to make reservations for any of the luncheons or dances listed in the reunion information packet? Or will we have our own class activities. Please advise.
Hello everyone! I'm trying to get in touch with Celina Walters....does anyone know how to reach her (address, e-mail, phone #)? Sure would appreciate it. Muchas gracias!
Hey Class! I am soooo excited to go to our 20th Reunion this year! I am looking forward to seeing you all again. I have a special request. Since I am involved in the decorations...I am requesting that I can get NEW photos of you all. They could be individual, with your spouse, or the whole family! Write a few comments about yourself and/or the family. I want to set up a display of the yearbook photos and what you are doing now. You can send them to me via online or snail mail. If you send it via online - make sure you put your name (maiden name) on the subject line. I think this would be fun!! LAnde80532@aol.com Laura Kosik Anderson 4213 E Miller Avenue Tampa, Fl 33617

I'm looking for old photos for my power point presentation. So far I have heard from David Dalhstrom and is the only one to even look for some old pics. I will donate a bottle of ron cortez to the top three donators of good scenic photos of old hang out places. I will then go back to panama and take a photo of the same place to show the difference in change. If you don't like ron cortez I will substitute for soda roja (kist or tuti fruti as you like). Also Jack Whitlock is helping out with the photos and possible live video feed from panama the night of our reunion. Hoping to hear from you all.
Just wondering...would anyone be interested in a "get-together" for those who live in Texas (I notice there are many) or surrounding areas? I would love to organize something. If you are interested, could you e-mail me? Love to hear from you! marriedtoanerd@hotmail.com
Please change my email address. Correct one is Monicademena@hotmail.com Thanks!

Terri Wilson January 26,2003 Panama Surf! Can't wait to see everyone. Sure miss those days at the Causeway, Tit's Beach, Chicken Coop, El Rancho, etc. Miss those empanadas Tio made at the bowling alley in Balboa-oops, was I supposed to be in class?! :-) Hope the music is from '79-'83 that would be great! I'm forwarding this web address to everyone I can think of, maybe they will sign in!
Hello all - what a trip to cruise this site. Anyone remember me? I left in 81 and moved to San Antonio so you'll have to go back a few yearbooks to see a photo of me. Did manage to marry Jennifer Blumer (BHS Class of 82). We missed the 20 yr reunion last year as she was busy having our third (all boys) that week. So last time we saw anyone besides portions of the Sutherland clan was back at the 92 reunion. We're gearing up for a *possible* trip out this summer so I can crash and catch up with folks I haven't seen and heard from in 22 years. Hmm - only three years in Panama (79-81) but they still have a place in my heart. Thanks to all who are putting the reunion together and maintaining this web site. Dawn I hear you are doing great, Paula I haven't seen you since UT and Rae Ann the last time I saw you was in the parking lot outside the Balboa bowling alley in/with your jeep 22 years ago. Could that memory be right??? Anyway, good to see all Class of 83 Zonians are doing well. Spam me at work at dspencer@onboard-software.com if you want to say hey. Dave
Our 20th Reunion is coming up! Just a few months away! WOW!!! I am currently involved in the decorations - am recruiting anyone that would be glad to help. Need ideas - some pointers - some pics - some help! One idea is to set up bohios and the yacht club scenery...pics of our old class....pics of the times in 83...red machine and bulldogs banners everywhere....any more ideas? (Notice I put red machine first -- hee) Drop me a line - MsLaurasZoo@aol.com PS! GOOOOOO BUCS! ( I live in Tampa!)
Happy New Year everyone! Come on, it's our 20th reunion; why aren't more people signing the guestbook? I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in sunny FLA next Summer.
Hasta, |
