Name: Roy Garcia
Years at AIHS (what years, not how many years): 76-79
What I've been up to: Hello everyone, When i was there from 76-79 I actually attended 2 schools, one was a British Annex, and the other was the AFCENT school which was kinder -12th grade. I lived in Geleen and had to ride the bus with about12-15 other students, all at different grade levels. How i wound up at the British Annex I'll never know? anyway, i was an oddity at the Annex being American/Hispanic plus being from Texas added to the mystery. At lunch time everyone wanted to sit next to me to see all of the American goodies in my scooby lunchpail. As soon as the pink snowballs creme cakes, and twinkies were revealed, it was mayhem! everyone wanted to trade me their pumpernickle or rye bread sandwiches for my sweets. and forget about Cheetos i never saw them again, as soon as i would pass them around. after two years of that i got moved to AFCENT for 5th grade. While at 5th grade every morning befre school we would play marbles near the main entrance off to the right underneath a metal roof adjacent to a external building. there i honed my skills with cat's eyes and bumblebee's. during winter we would re-hash the 2nd WW and it would be the American, British, Dutch, and Canadian kids, against the German and Italian kids. in the main courtyard of the school nearest the field we would get certified in riding our bikes, there would be a course layed out, also at the basketball court there would be a minature scaled down street course complete with lights/crosswalks/ stop/yield signs etc... and then on every friday we would walk down the long street and go to the indoor swimming pool.while i was there i was in Troop 100 Cubscouts/Webelos? and Boyscouts we once took a ride to Germany from our scout building next to the military clinic and rode our bicycles to a Mcdonalds. Our Scout master almost did not let me go due to i was the only one with a dirt bike while everyone else had 3&10 speeds. My father convinced the Scoutmaster and off i went and i was one of the youngest. I had a glorious time there, and i would repeat it over and over again. too many stories to tell. Take care everyone

Go Lions!
