Name: Ruth Kneale
Class: Class of '86!

What I've been up to:
I left AFCENT and came to the U. of Arizona, in Tucson Arizona, on an AFROTC scholarship. Made it three years before seriously injuring my knee and getting medically discharged. I switched majors to astrophysics and graduated in 1991. After a brief stint as an engineering aide for the Mt. Graham Telescope Project, I came to work at the Gemini 8m Telescopes Project, where I still am, and loving every minute of it!

Comments:
Info on the personal side: I'm still single, with three dependent cats and entirely too many books. I'm moving in about two years for the job (hopefully to Chile) so am trying to hone my Spanish!

Name: Michael Joy
Class: Class of 82

What I've been up to:
After graduating attended the University of Texas at Austin and graduated in 1987 with a BBA in Data Processing and Analysis. I decided that the future looked bleak for professional bartenders so I gave in and got a real job programming. I now work as a software developer for a company located in Temple Texas. Married, two girls, three dogs, two cats, and considering a second computer for the home.

Comments:
I really like this web page (great job Ruth!) and look forward to stumbling across some old friends.

Name: Paul Heard
Class: M3CR 6th Grade

What I've been up to:
I left AIHS in 1989 for a boarding school in England and believe me, compared to AIHS, this school is like hell on earth. Due to failure of exams, I have taken some years again, and again and again... I hope to go to the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts in the summer of 1997. Thats all folks!

Comments:
Do the current students still get marched down to their swimming lessons by the staff?? I remember accidentally stepping out of line and getting my arse kicked. Never again...

Comments:
It's been a long time since AFCENT, don't know if anyone else can remember back that long. Attended 6th to 9th grade at Afcent. Anyone else from that period out there? My e-mail is campbell.306@postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu.

Name: Chris Morales
Class: 1976

What I've been up to:
After leaving Holland in '77 I worked odd jobs in El Paso, Tx for about 4 years, just partying and enjoying life. In July 81 I joined the Air Force to travel with the hopes of going back to Holland some day! I've been working as a Medical Administrative Specialist for 15 years now and am currently assigned to McConnell AFB, KS since July 94 upon my return from you guessed it "Soesterberg Air Base"! I was stationed at Soesterberg from Sept 91 until July 94 at which time the base was closed for good. During my time in Holland I revisited the old High School and witnessed the construction of the new school. The only person I got to see while there was Mr. Speth still toilling around as he always did! Times have really changed the country of Holland but the people remain the same and making and meeting new Dutch friends during my tour was the most memorable time of my life! Tot Ziens!!

Comments:
For any and all alumni surfing the NET, please don't ever forget your Dutch roots and stay in touch with those close friends we made and became! I'm still intrested in getting together with some of you in a reunion to celebrate our 20 years since graduation. I'll never forget the reunion in Sep 88 at Lake Tahoe! I only wish that the reunion association has made plans for another reunion soon. Right now I am searching for Joe Dolim whom I last saw in 88 while he was living in Palm Springs. Has anyone heard from him or know where he is? Also I want very much to get in touch with Lisa Jones who went to Afcent in the 70's also. I still have her yearbook and I think she would love to have it since we lost contact after her family left in '76. She has never seen the yearbook or read all the well wishes from her many friends so if anybody out there knows where I can reach her please post here or email me at Morales@22mdg.mednet.af.mil. Thanks and great home page RUTH!!

Name: Lori Maggio
Class: 1991

What I've been up to:
I attended the University of Illinois and got my B.S. in Microbiology in 3 1/2 years (thanks to Mr. Gage, Ms. Catherwood and AP credit). Currently I am working on my PhD in Microbiology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. I was recently in Austin TX for the wedding of fellow alum, Laura DeLong. I visited AFCENT about 2 years ago, and the school (as the class of '91 knew it) is LONG GONE, which I found totally depressing.

Comments:
That Patch DoDDS alumni page offers links to other school pages, but AFCENT wasn't one of them (as of 04/06/96). I stumbled across this page's address in the comments section. Maybe more people will find this page if you can get a similar link. Otherwise, nice job.

Name: Suzanne Denmark
Class: 1991

What I've been up to:
I've had a few ups & downs since leaving Europe in 93. I worked full time as a secretary/contractor for Lockheed in Monchengladbach and attended night classes with Unv of Maryland during that time. I married a British soldier before returning to the States. It didn't work out, but it turned out for the best, because I met my husband, Todd here in New Mexico and have been blissfully married for almost 2 years and am the proud mother of a 6 1/2 month old, Glenn. Todd makes a good living as a programmer and I'm able to stay home with Glenn; a rare treat in these hectic times.

Comments:
I'm very pleased with the progress that's been made these past few months with the AFCENT contacts. I'd like to see a list of addresses sorted by year on this home page. The overseas alumni contact page tends to be backlogged - at least for the past few months. But I can't criticize because you're making leaps & bounds as far as I'm concerned!

Name: Nick Wood
Class: 84

What I've been up to:
My name is Nick Wood, (HI Suzanne Denmark!!!)Remember me? I went to AFCENT from 77-84 I was initially part of the British section but transferred to the American section when the Brits went to RheinDahlen British school. I am still a British Citizen, but am living happily in Southern Florida. I am working as a network integration consultant, I specialize in LAN to LAN conectivity. Anyway, I'm glad to see that there are people who savour the wonderful experiences AFCENT had to offer.

Comments:
I hope that everybody who remembers the good times we had at AFCENT AIHS will eventually find themselves and there past relationships on these Web pages. My E-Mail address is vlinder@gate.net. SUZANNE DENMARK - write me, and tell your mom too!!!

Name: Shelly Aubin
Class: '79 rules (AIHS 73-77)

What I've been up to:
I returned to Petwawa, Ontario, Canada. Yep, I am one of those crazy Canuks. Anyways, I came to the Niagara Region, graduated with an Honours degree in Psychology from Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario. I have worked in Young Offenders facilities, (custody for teens), and a variety of other social service environments. I am currently working at the March of Dimes, as a Support Services Co-ordinator in the Independant Living Department. I am married, and have two daughters, aged 7 and 9 years. I would really like to find some of my US friends, especially Lisa Finstrom. I know that after leaving AFCENT, she went to Carmel, Calif, then to college in Oberlin, Ohio. After that, I lost touch. I would really, really like to find her. My email address is sharcomb@npiec.on.ca Hope to hear from some of the people at AFCENT when I was there. (Evelyn Elder, Lisa Winton, Denys and Donna McDermid, and anyone else I knew from then. Go LIONS!

Name: Stan Blackwell
Class: 1968-1972 (Graduate, 1972)

What I've been up to:
The day after graduating I and several others from my class flew back to the U.S. I a received a Bachelor's in Psychology (1977) and a Master's in Education (Counseling, in 1989) from the University of Texas at El Paso. I am currently a Clinical Research Manager for a pharmaceutical research organization in Austin Tx.

Comments:
I found it both comforting and disconcerting to have come upon this page. Comforting, because this page is proof that AFCENT school wasn't just a dream that could never be truly shared with another. And disconcerting in that this page may lead to sad answers for sad questions about others from my class. If anyone knows of others from the late 60s and early 70s, please drop a line.

Name: Jeffrey Courouleau
Class: Class Of 1995

What I've been up to:
Just cooling my jets in Oklahoma, majoring in English at the University Of Oklahoma, all that good stuff. These days I just spend my time looking for you guys, finding you guys, and becoming ruler of a small, independent nation just outside the window... Anyway, all you people out there who know me best write quickly so i can build up my vast arrays of friends once more...

Comments:
Well, I just want to thank the Academy for letting me practice my art in such a town, Captain Kirk (not William Shatner) for all the good times, and Ruth Kneale for making this whole beautiful shrine in the first place. The magic e-mail address is azionakam@mail.uoknor.edu , and that means alot... I want mail!

Name: Michael Melchior
Class: 3 to 5

What I've been up to:
Well there have been a lot of things happening upto now. To say it in short terms, I`ve just passed my ABI at a school that`s situated far behind the moon, to be more preceise, at Buchen/ODW. But before my family and me have been moving for two more times. Well I really enjoy this area, but as I said before, it`s the real outback. No busses, no trains, just cows and farmers. Next weekend I`ll go to Köln in order to pass my "Eignungsfeststellung" at the "Offiziersprüfzentrale Köln". So I will join the army for 14 years just as my dad did. For this reason I was at the AIHS in Brunssum.

Comments:
Well what should I say? I really liked the AIHS and still do miss it. I regreat that I lost contact to all my former classmates and hope they are all allright. Hope we`ll meet again somewhere sometime. Greetings to all those who are still there, especially to the students and teachers from the German section.

I believe John Love was director there for a number of years. He was also History teacher at Wiesbaden/HHArnold HS. If you do not have his current address and would like it, please send me email at Grantdd@thecb.state.tx.us and I'll be happy to look it up for you.

Name: Darwin Holder
Class: 1974 (AIHS 1970)

What I've been up to:
I spent the 70-71 schoolyear as a freshman at AIHS. After that, my family went to Okinawa, where I graduated. College on the ten year plan earned me a B.A. in anthropology from Texas Tech in 1984. Got a law degree from Vermont Law School in 1989. Moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where my wife got a job with a corporate firm. I did migrant farmworker law for three years and then quit to be a house wife when our daughter was born 2 1/2 years ago. We also have a 8 year old son and I have a 12 year old daughter in Texas. I have stayed in contact with John Thomsen (music teacher) and ran into Carla Brudvig twelve years ago.

Comments:
Stan, it was good to see a name I remembered! I would love to get in touch with Mark Wood again! I lost his address when we shipped off to Oki and lost contact. Also, I think often about the Canadians. They took me under their wing when they realized what naive Texan I was. I particularly remember Jeff Whitehead and Terry (Gilliam?). I've also told my kids about the time Mike and Jim Walsh nearly gave me a heart attack when we had a "seance" with their Ouiji board. Terry Piper taught me how to process photographs. And all my old crushes! If anyone is out there listening, send an e-mail: cq686@freenet.carleton.ca

Name: Robin VanBoeschoten
Class: Class of '95

What I've been up to:
After leaving the sunny county of Germany, I headed for the tropical paridise of Canada. I know I refuted the fact that Canada was a frozen wasteland, but during my first winter back here it certainly felt like it! (Do you think that they have they global warming thing backwards and the world is really getting colder?? It didn't used to be this cold. Maybe the antifreeze has just drained out of my blood after spending too many years in Europe) Anyway, back to what I've been doing. I wound up going to the University of Waterloo in Computer Science. I know it is such an exciting course, but I am planning on doing a minor in Philosophy, Phychology, or Business to help balance it out. Other than the course work and those little pesky things called 'classes', University has been a blast!!!!!!!!!!! After I graduate I may take a year or two and live in the woods in the middle of nowhere to comtemplate my existance.

Comments:
In the military you more around so much that it is easy to loose touch with people you knew. This page is a great way to meet up with old friends again and see what they have been up to. Drop me a note to tell me how you are, where you've been, what you are doing and what your plans are. My email is rdvanboe@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca. I would love to hear from you.

Name: Rhome Anderson
Class: 1993

What I've been up to:
As I sit here with my ignoramus partner in crime, Adam Burkett, I've finally decided to drop some comments. I've been at the University of MD, College Park for the last three years and will actually graduate on time with a degree in Afro-American Studies in Public Policy (pending completion of my thesis, keep your fingers crossed). As anyone familiar with my extracurricular exploits would know, I've always been about some creative musical stuff and I'm still on that tip. I'm involved in radio and have been studying recording engineering off and on. If the job market looks crappy enough and I'm still not motivated to go to grad school for Public Policy, I'm going to be in a recording studio. Mad eclectic and in different directions, that's still me. You might even peep me in some magazines as a writer. Just keeping the options open.

Comments:
To all of ya'll wondering what happened to Rollo and that fool SAS (Adam Burkett, wannabe thespian), I'm down for some electronic communication but he's still technologically ignorant so hit him off on my e-mail and he'll get the responses through me until he finishes technophobe therapy. Until annunna time, don't commit merious vehicka genasigh in yo' automobiel (if you never got a copy of the Cecil Seymour dictionary, you're lost!) there is talk of a possible web page solely for the purpose of expligating the extensive knowledge seymour holds, so hold on to your keyboards computer jockies. (That last sentence was Adam, king of run-on sentences) Until next time - WE OUTTA HEEYAH!

Comments:

Name: Colin Grabow
Class: 1995

What I've been up to:
Moved to Richmond, Va in the summer of 93 and finished my junior and senior years at Lloyd C. Bird HS. Managed to get FIRED from a fast food joint I worked at (funny story, email me if you wanna hear it). Just got through with my freshman year at James Madison University where I'm majoring in International Affairs. I'm spending the summer working at a paint factory on the assembly line.

Comments:
I have some good, if hazy memories of my years at AFCENT. Right now I'm in college and absolutely loving every minute of it. Chris Weaver (Class of 94) wound up in a dorm a 3 minute walk from mine. I have Chris to thank for getting me back from my first frat party in one piece. I'm not too good at this sort of thing so I'll end it here. Anyway.....if anyone wants to drop me a line email me at grabowcp@jmu.edu while school is in and at Noel__Gallagher@msn.com during the summer.

Name: Christine Anthony
Class: 1989

What I've been up to:
Right after graduation, I worked in England, earning my British Horse Society teaching certification. After getting a journalism degree from the University of Maryland, I combined the two and now work for EQQUS magazine, writing about horses, I'm getting married in November, to a newspaper reporter. Who knew being editor of the Lion Tales would be so prophetic?

Comments:
You always say you're going to keep in touch, and I think I sincerely meant it at the time, but how sad it is that I can only locate a few of my classmates. Where has everyone gone? I think of AFCENT often and fondly, though none of my current friends can believe I went to school in a 30-year-old "temporary" building where people spoke different languages, rode the bus an hour to get there, had only 50 people in their class, went to proms in castles, and were served in bars with no ID's!

Comments:
I came upon your home page while searching AFCENT on the web. I was a medical officer with the 6th General Dispensary from 1972 to 1974. I would love to find out what has happened ther since I left. Is there anything else on the web about AFCENT. The other thing I would be interested in is replenishing some of my AFCENT souvenirs--they have been well worn over the past 20 + years. Do you know of any way of getting a hold of any of these. I have fond memories of AFCENT, Brunssum where we lived and the entire province. We actually lived in what was then a new "bungalow" on Eisenhowerstraat--near Merkelbeek. If anyone is interested I would be happy to share some of my memories. Please email me at kampell@mskcc.org.

Name: Laura Henderson
Class: Class of 1987

What I've been up to: After a 3 year stint in the Army Reserves and 2 1/2 years at Iowa State University, I married my Marine husband Tom in December 1990.

We moved to Pensacola, FL in March 1991. While he attended flight school, I attended the University of West Florida. I graduated in May 1993 with a B.A. in Communication Arts.

We are currently stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point NC. We have two sons. Robert, 5 and Jack, 2. My husband has been deployed about 9 of the last 12 months. So, I find that I am a single parent most of the time.

I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home with my kids. But, to keep myself from going stir crazy I do a lot of volunteer work for the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society.

Comments: I'm really excited about the upcoming reunion in Arlington. I've kept in touch with a lot of the Canucks. But, I'm trying to track down Pinar Enginsu, Hege Owre, and Gry Taraldsen. Where are you guys? My e-mail address is hoferhenderson@coastalnet.com.

My name is still Laura Henderson. Although I get a lot of flack for it. I kept my maiden name after I got married. And no I'm not a femi-nazi. I just like my name.

Name: Liz Wilson
Class: Class of 1986

What I've been up to: I work for SportHill, Inc., we are an athletic apparel company in business for 11 years. Our primary focus for the first few years was running apparel. About 6 years ago we added a XC ski line that has taken the oudoor market by storm. Our line of KOCH XC gear is the best for any cold weather outdoor activity: running, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and cycling to name a few. I started here after graduating with a Marketing/Mgmt degree from the University of Oregon and am currently the Sales Manager. In a small company that encompasses many activities and duties!

Running has been great, provided many opportunities to travel (the part about being a military brat that is hard to miss). I've been to Chiba, Japan; Beijing, China; Seoul, Korea; Australia, back to Europe!, Budapest, Scotland, England, and this March I was in S.Africa for the World XC Championships. I make it around the US often for trade shows and travel with reps. I'm excited to find everyone and potentially hook up during my travels.

Comments: Yes, running has been good to me - but, no Olympics this year. The trials were in Atlanta in June, I ran the 10,000 (very long), made the final and placed 13th there. Only the top 3 go, so it's kind of like....."Top 3, or thanks for playing!" I was happy for the opportunity and wish the final had felt a little better, as top 6 or 7 was within striking distance on the HOT, HUMID evening. Thank god we ran in the evening and not during prime daylight, I'm still alive to talk about it.

Name: Lynn-nore Chittom (formerly Rives)
Class: 1990

What I've been up to:
After graduating from AFCENT in 1990 I moved to northeast Tennessee, where I attended East Tennessee State University. After working as Co-Editor-in-Chief of Lion Tales, with Bryan Wursten, I went on to get my B.S. in Journalism. While at college, I was very involved with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and a local campus ministry, Christian Student Fellowship (CSF). I had a great time being involved with those organizations and during the Spring of my junior year of college met Thom Chittom through CSF, thus the name change! We were married April 16, '94 and moved to Massachusetts for Thom's graduate work a few months after my graduation. Thom is now attending seminary to become a pastor/ Bible college teacher and I am working for an Electronic Publishing company.

Comments:
I am SO happy to have found this web page. We have been online for a couple of years and I've been wondering where the rest of AFCENT was in terms of the Web. A note to Danielle Bright... Hi! I would love to have both Meg and Kirk Filbey's addresses! We kept in touch until just a few years ago and then lost addresses & phone numbers. I can be reached at LCHITTOM@AOL.COM or LCHITTOM@epnet.com. I would love to hear from other AFCENTers who attended between 86-90.

Name: Chris Morales

What I've been up to:
Comments: Glad to hear the recent reunion was a huge success! I read your posting on the home page about plans for the next one in 2001 and couldn't help but wonder whynot plan for one to celebrate the new century? I think if we all worked hard at it we could really create something that everyone would cherish for the rest of their lives. Tell me what you think of the proposal for 31 DEC 1999 in New York City (the BIG APPLE) as a time and place for the next AFCENT REUNION! Maybe posting this proposal on the home page starting a poll for suggestions of planned sites as well as announcing a planned "CENTURY CELEBRATION!" would get the ball rolling! Waiting to hear from you soon and looking forward to downloading the pictures from the D.C. reunion! Thanks for listening.


Name: Juan Mejia III (JT)
Class: 1990

What I've been up to: Since I graduated from Afcent in '90 I moved to Alamogordo, NM, because my dad got stationed there. I was able to stay in touch with Bryan Sykes, Kathy Rodriguez, Monica Longbine, Christine Harris, and Rachel Rogers for the longest time but in the last 2 years I've since lost touch. But while I was in Alamogordo, I took the first 6 months off and did nothing but vegetate. When I finally couldn't take it any more, I got a fob working for Albertson's supermarket. Nothing glamourous but it was money. I spent most of my time going camping in the mountains, partying, and in general having a bit of fun. Every so often I would take a class at the New Mexico State University. In 1994 I started playing soccer in a league in nearby Las Cruces. 18 and up age group and all amatuers. I still play but not as much because of work and school. I met a woman in Las Cruces in Dec. of 94 through an ex-girlfriends mother (go figure) and a year later I moved in with her over there. Her name is Ginger Parker and I am still living with her. I plan on asking her to marry me in the next month. So I'll just refer to her as my fiance for now. Right now I'm attending the Dona Ana Community College for my associates in Business. I always said I was going to be an accountant but I'm taking my time. If Ginger will agree to marry me then we plan on being engaged for about 2 years. We plan to move to Colorado (Boulder is our favorite choice) and I'll finish up my schooling there. I can give a brief rundown on the above mentioned people up to when I lost touch with them. Bryan Sykes joined the Air Force and ended up in North Carolina, he got married, then divorced, and last I heard had a new girlfriend. Kathy Rodriguez got married a couple of days before I moved back to the states to a British guy. They moved to Southern Colorado with her parents. She had a baby girl (forgot her name), and ended up getting a divorce about 2 years later. She has since moved one state up and I lost touch there. Monica Longbine moved to Amarillo, TX where she graduated and she eventually got married. I forget her new last name but I have her wedding announcement somewhere. Christine Harris has moved to Kileen, TX or some town right around there. Not married, no kids. Last I heard she was working and going to school. Rachel Rogers moved to Fort Worth, TX, and every time I talked to her she had a new address, new job, and/or new hair color. She was pretty much just hanging out and having fun. Taking in all the live rock-and-roll her ears could handle. If anybody knows about anybody else in our class or anything new about the above mentioned people, feel free to e-mail me at jmejia@nmsu.edu.
Comments: I would like to thank Ruth for setting up this section. It's been awhile since I had thought of any of my old friends. It brought up many great memories. I hope to hear from more of the class of '90. Danielle, I would like kirk and Megs address or number. I would like to maybe be able to organize a class reunion! Plus if anybody remembers my sister, Monica Mejia (c/o '89), she has joined the Air Force, gotten married, and has two sons with one more on the way. She lives in Alamogordo, NM. If you want her address e-mail me.

Name: Ron Wallace
Class: 1978
What I've been up to: Returned back to Utah after four years at AFCENT. Graduated with 752 other students in 1978 (what a shock, the 1977 AFCENT graduating class was about 34 people). Managed to get through college with degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. I now live in Arizona with my wife and two girls. Currently, work Motorola as a staff software engineer in the Cellular Infrastructure Group.
Comments: I really need to get out my yearbooks and place faces with names for those who have already contributed to the AFCENT alumni web page(s). It would be real nice to here from other AFCENT brats from the mid 70's. Email me at: rwallace@cig.mot.com

Name: Greg Frey
Class: 1985-1988
What I've been up to: In 1988 I became an intern at Y100 FM in San Antonio. 7 years later, I'm still there only now I'm the Programming Assistant. My classmates might remember my show on CFNB "Rock In A Hard Place" (thursday nights, 7 to 9). Well, I'm working at a country station now, but I still say that, pound for pound, Aerosmith is the best Rock N' Roll on earth. I made a lot of friends at AFCENT, more than I've ever had before or since. I learned a few things about girls, beer, Matt, curry sauce, taxi drivers, gas stations, punk rock, wrestling, converse all-stars, Canadians, Glen, School buses that serve beer, teachers (Gage-good, Harville-bad), George, radio, Spain, whippets, Michelle, lockers, Muscats, muskrats, Hot ham & cheese, Tammy, gas station candy, cigarettes, Carolyn, hotels, castles, brothels, flight jackets, Club 13, Andre, health, autobahns, Steve, yearbooks, photo touch-ups (see junior class shot in 87 yearbook), Christine, loogies, Sangria, Jim, Keith, Amy, frequency modulation, and how to pass Mrs. Elders' psychology class without really trying. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I hope you're doing better now. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you missed everything.

Class: 1983-1985
What I've been up to: After leaving AFCENT in 85 I moved to Fort Leavenworth and graduated from high school in 87. To get away from the parents I went to college at South Dakota State University on a Army Rotc scholarship I took my time going through school and got my BS in electrical engineering in 92. Since then I'v lived in Alaska for a couple years and then went to Savannah Georgia for a couple more. I made my captains bars and got out of the Army, Finally! Now I live in Huntsville Alabama which is nicknamed the second silicon valley. I got a engineering job at a printed circuit board company. If anyone is in the area give me a call.
Comments: Back in 92 I went to Dane Henry's wedding in Florida. He was talking about going into the Air Force but I'v lost contact with him since. Also, in 92 I was doing some training in the swamps of Florida and ran into Mike Doble. He was getting married and moving to North Carolina. Since AFCENT I'v started using Louis as my first name not Jeremy which was a nickname. It was to confusing for the Army to figure out.

Name: Michael Tedrick
Class: 1980-1981
What I've been up to: Returned stateside to Columbus, OH for my senior year, then graduated from Ohio State with a C.I.S. degree in '86. Got a job at Lockheed that fall and have been working there for 10 years now. Married, two dogs, no children - yet.
Comments: The site is EXCELLENT ! Multi - hats off to Ruth. The only person i remember from previous posters is Michael Joy... I remember you sat next to Paul Ortiz, Ron Peebles and Kent Blevins in Mr. Gage's social studies class. 1993 was the last time i had a chance to visit and the school doesn't look ANYTHING like it did in the early '80's. Mr. Gage had just gotten back from the states, and even as tired as he was, he still took Renee and I on a grand tour. Mr. Tickfer sold me a mug and two hats.

What I've been up to:
Comments: I'd like to thank you for bulding the site. It was nice to see that I was not the only person who felt that AFCENT was definitely a place to be remembered. During my fourth year overseas, all I dreamed about was coming back to the states. What I didn't realize until I returned was that the communal feelings of closeness that we fostered overseas were unique. The small community of a couple hundred Americans in what felt like the middle of nowhere shared something special. We had no family within three thousand miles, so we all became a family. Holidays were difficult, but somehow, the holidays I spent overseas are the most memorable. I recall moving into a miniscule duplex in Jabeek in 1983. Nine years old and I couldn't even get a Big Mac (in those days the closest American fastfood was in Aachen). During our second year we moved to Heerlen into what they called 'base housing', but the base was nowhere near the neighborhood. I have many happy memories of evenings at the slag heap watching Det 2 play GK in a nailbiting softball game. I remember beginning my young sports life with an underfunded IYA. On the other hand, I also remember taking an hour to get into Schinnen through the barrels, past the M-60s mounted behind sandbags, manned by the same young men I had watched play softball the night before. The F-111s that bombed Lybia in '86 woke us up in the middle of the night as they flew overhead. I remember going to seminars on how not to appear to be an American, because 'Americans were targets". Most people can never fathom what all of this means to a nine or ten year old. Pardon my pedantry, but thank you for a site that no matter how you phrase it, is spelled....n*o*s*t*a*l*g*i*a

Class: 1978
What I've been up to:I would like to add to your home page. I went to school at Afcent from 1975-1978. I am planning our 20th class reunion for 1998. After I left Afcent we moved to Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. I could not find a job so I moved to Prattville, Alabama, where I lived til '81. In 1981 I moved to my parents hometown of Abbeville, Louisiana and that is where I made my roots. I am married to Danny P. Broussard and I have two daughters, Brandy 7 and Brooke 5. My hobbies are working on my computer and helping out at the private school my daughters attend.

What I've been up to:
Comments: I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks Afcent is the best school in the world. It seems like these days everyone complains it is too small, theres too much gossip and not enough things to do. I've lived at Afcent since 1987, and now I'm a sophmore. I noticed that a few people asked about Mrs.Gage and I wasn't sure if everyone knew that she died of cancer in 89. Mr.Gage is still Afcent's favorite teacher, and his daughter Melissa is now a Senior. These days Afcent has changed a lot. About 3 years ago the new school was completed and it's really modern looking. The Heide is still the top choice when it comes to skipping school. Mr Debacker still harrasses all of us with his words of wisdom (tardy,tardy, question,question) but you still gotta love him. You can write me back if theres anything you want to know about Afcent these days or anyone you want to know about that might still live here.

Class: 1974-78
What I've been up to: I've been in New York City since graduating from Oberlin College in 1983. I realized how small the world is when in the mid-80s I ran in to two fellow AFCENTers Mark Lusardi and Nancy Evans in NY. After a 4 year stint at New American Library Publishing company I joined Shearson Lehman Brothers as a currency analyst in 1987. I've been with the firm ever since and now find myself working for Smith Barney. One job...10 business cards a product of the merger mania 1980s. I finished an MBA from NYU in 1990. I'm married and have one son who was born in 1993. My sister Julie Salzwedel(Finstrom) is now married with two girls, Mary and Emily (8 and 4 respectively) and lives in Grand Rapids Michigan.
Comments: Hi to Shelly Aubin! I was so happy to find the AFCENT Website. As an Army brat it is nice to have a way to touch base with your past in a way that is special...through the people not the places.

Comments:I noticed that your alumni page was signed by a Cheri Walkley. If it's the same girl I think it is,I would like to get in touch with her. I went to school with her 1980 & 1981 in Okinawa, Japan. Kubasaki High School our freshman year. I was hoping you might know her, or might have some way of getting in touch with her. The number she left on your page (301)969-2820 doesn't show to be any good. Do you know when she left that information or have you received any correspondence from her since? I ran a search thru the Web, and this is the only place that showed up. If you could shed any light on this I would be very grateful. Hopefully she remembers me.

Class: '87
What I've been up to: After graduating, I went to Heidelberg, Germany (to Schiller University) for a year, to study German, German literature and German philosophy. From 1988-1991, I went to the University of Oregon, majoring in Journalism. However, I later changed my major to International Relations, with a minor in Scandinavian languages. (Norwegian mainly, but also Swedish and Finnish).

In 1991, I got a job in Norway (working for 2 years--with children). In 1993, I was married in Sweden to a WONDERFUL, CUTE Norwegian guy (in the Norwegian Air Force) named Terje!! After we were married, I worked as a translator (Norwegian/English) and even translated a medical movie. I also worked for a Norwegian health foods company. We came over to the States in 1994, so Terje could finish up his degree. I worked full-time as a secretary.(Mr. Carter's typing and speedwriting classes really paid off!!) He is majoring in Communications--Advertising/Sales in Media and we are off to Texas this summer. (He has an internship with the Houston Chronicle) In February 1996--we had a BEAUTIFUL baby boy--named Erik Sondre. :-) He is our pride and joy!! I am a full-time Mom now, with computer access, and enjoying every minute!! I still keep in touch with Jennifer (Alexander) Roman ('88), Brooke Larrabee ('87), Darden (Rachel)Bradshaw ('87), Lisa (Engen)Leggio('87), and Debbie Phelan ('87--but left in '86 to go back to the U.S.)
Comments: I would love to know more info about AFCENT reunions...which teachers are still over at AFCENT?? Do they have e-mail addresses?? I would love to hear from anyone in the class of '85-'87!! I miss AFCENT...it was great. My brother, Lance Rounds, (the stud) is doing well...he is VERY tall and handsome (and single!!) and studying to be a stockbroker in Seattle. He was even on an episode of "ER" in November and played a security guard!! Did you see him?? (I'm 'selling the video' for $19.95 plus s&h...ha-ha)

C'mon all '87 classmates...don't hesitate to keep in touch with me...it would be great. What has happened to you guys?? (e-mail address is on the alumni listing page)

What I've been up to: Hi, if you could replace what is all ready on the AFCENT page with this next part, it would be greatly appreciated. I lived in Monchengladbach, Germany from 1994 until 1996, my 8th and 9th grade years. Freshman year was the coolest. In Germany I have had some of the best friends and we keep in touch all the time. My dad worked at JHQ for NATO and so I lived an hour away from Brunssum in MG. AFCENT was the closest American school for us out there. We had a pretty long bus ride but we had some pretty interesting times. I rode with the Riggs, Ron Holmes, Christian, the Cullens, my best friend Susan, and a few others. We had some really interesting times, didn't we? I played basketball Freshman year, with Jess Patton and everyone else. Hi guys. We had such a great time at our parties and away games and sleep overs. Those are some times that we'll never forget, like the Ouiji board, talking all night, the movies, and the games we'd play. To anyone of those guys who reads this, don`t forget me or those times we had. Right now I am living in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Buena is a huge school and a big change from the small size of AFCENT, but it`s been fun. This summer I'm moving back to Fayetteville, North Carolina. UNC Chapel Hill rocks.

Name: Greg Willard
Class: 1968!
What I've been up to: Hello. My name is Greg Willard, class of 1968 (the very first). I was looking forward to the reunion of 1996, which I had heard rumored to be in Orlando. Mike Jett was supposed to be organizing it. It never materialized apparantly as I see by the newletter that it was held in Washington. I know of many alums who were looking forward to going in Orlando, and knew nothing of Washington, '96. I would be happy to assist in organizing the next one in Orlando. It has been west, mid west, east, and now it's time for southeast!!. Many alums live in Fla and nearby states. RSVP.
Comments: PS Who's hairbrained idea was it to change the name of our beloved school from "Brunssum High School" home of the "Vikings" to Afcent. Must have been some lame general loaded up on Heineken and hash!! Some of us have never forgiven that one. (Remember, we were the first)

Comments: Hi Stan Blackwell!! What a thrill it was to find the AFCENT page - I don't recognize hardly any names. I've lost contact with most people but have remained in touch with some - Barbara Moore McDonald, Blanche "Peggy" Lockhart, the Englands, and just recently found Carla Brudvig in NM. My parents have remained in contact with many old friends. I attended two reunions that were held in Denver in 1991 and earlier. Don't know if I can make the next reunion but sure would be fun.

Thanks for this opportunity to communicate to other AIHS Alumini. Best regards, Sheryl Rice McLandsborough

Comments: I just wanted to let you know that I thought Las Vegas sounded like a great idea for the reunion. I lived there for 6 years and am still going back around 4 times a year to visit friends. In fact Cindy Anderson and Ricky Crosby, both AFCENT Alumni, still live in Las Vegas. Hopefully, by the time the reunion comes around I will be living back there myself. At the current moment I am going to school in Sacramento, Ca. and plan to move back to Vegas right after I graduate in May 1999.

Anyway, Vegas is a great place for adults and kids. They've really expanded on to the family vacation theme. You can usually get pretty good discount for groups there too. If you want any more info or want me to gather some brochures from specific hotels let me know, I'll be back there over the Thanksgiving week.

Name: Wayne Ludwig
Class: Class of '89
What I've been up to: After graduating AFCENT my parents talked me into staying in the Netherlands for an extra year before I went to college. So I did and had a great time traveling, barhopping, and doing basically nothing except working in the PX for some cash. In 1990 I went back to my great home state of Florida to attend Barry University in Miami Shores. Well needless to say it was a great four years in the sun and on the beach. I graduated in '94 and received a double bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and Political Science. I was the top graduate in my field. While in college I interned with the Secret Service and was sure I would apply right out of college for them. The federal hiring freeze and college loans made me decide to join the Army under the loan repayment program instead of joining the local police force. Well it worked, my loans are paid off and I am now going to attend officer candidate school in May. I am in the military police and will remain there when I get commissioned. I have been successful in the military so far (who would have thought)! I have been top graduate in both of my professional development classes, as well as the Soldier of the Year in Korea and Post NCO of the Quarter in Virginia, and am looking forward to the transition to officer. I still have hopes of joining the Secret Service if I ever decide to get out of the military.

I met my beautiful wife Holly in Korea, she was assigned there too. We will have been married two years in January. Our first child is due any day now (Nov 14) and we are both terribly excited. Holly is still in the military as well working on her Computer Programming degree. We currently live in Sierra Vista, AZ and are assigned at FT Huachuca.

Comments: That's enough about me but I'd love to hear from everyone I knew at AFCENT. I am currently working with Meagan (Baerman) Uken and Katie Grannis to organize a ten year reunion for the class of '89. So guys if you are out there get in touch (suggestions) and email me info on everybody so we can make this thing happen. Besides that write and let me know how you all are doing. My email is: SGT Wayne@aol.com and my home address is 2000 Donna Place, Sierra Vista AZ 85635.

Name: Sean Kneale
Class: 1990 (at AFCENT from 84 - 88)
What I've been up to: My father was stationed at Griffiss AFB in NY and I spent my junior year there. Dad retired and we moved to Tacoma, WA where I graduated. Not having moved enough while growing up, I then moved to the other side of Washington and went to Washington State for a year. After running out of money for school, I moved home and got an associates degree. Time for another move, this time to sunny Tucson, AZ. I lived with my sister (Yes, the same person that makes these pages) for about 4 years.

I've graduated from the University of Arizona with a BA in Geography. I worked for the US Geological Survey as a GIS Tech and Computer Cartographer for a while, then transfered to the Arizona Geological Survey and do the same stuff. I am not married yet, but I do have a girlfriend that I live with. As a hobby/obsession I race bicycles (as does my girlfriend). I'm a Cat. 3 racer and '97 state champion in the Time Trial. That's pretty much all I've done (and do) with my life.


Comments:I enjoyed the time I spent at AFCENT and in Europe. I wish everyone could have that kind of childhood. Anyone that was stationed at Klein Brogel, Belgium from 1983 to 1988, please e-mail me at pennyfarthing@tucson.com or through my sister (this site).

Comments: If the name Muzzy sounds familiar to you, you may remember my two brothers...Don and Philip. Or perhaps you remember my parents, John & Linda. Everyone is great! We're all in Texas, except Don is moving to Colorado. Philip keeps in touch with Jeremy Hoy and I still talk to Ann Tyler. (She just got married!) On reading some of the other comments, I about fell over in my chair to hear Mr. DeBacker's name. Who could forget walking to the swimming pool down the street for swimming lessons? Or that band teacher who used to make us stick gum on our noses if we were caught chewing it.

What I've been up to: Hey, I don't know how many of you all remember me. I was the Metal Head Freak who roamed the halls with wrist bands on my arms and my sleeveless jean jacket with my big Kiss patch on the back. Well, I have grown up now, but not too much. I was really glad I found this AFCENT page, it is great to know I can get in touch with some of my dearest friends. I really wish I could have been at the reunion. Well, I am in the Navy now stationed at NAS Lemoore, California. For those of you who don't know where that is, I am located in the San Joaquin Valley about 40 miles south of Fresno. After I left AFCENT my parents and I , and my sister Carrie, moved to Brandon , Florida where I graduated from Brandon High School. Then I spent a few years going to college trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Then in 1993 I got married to my present wife Michele and I joined the Navy. In 1995 we had our first child Madison Leigh Boyd. Anyone who would like to get in contact with me, my E-Mail is memos@lemoorenet.com . Hope to hear from you all soon.

Name: Jennifer Grannis
Class: At AFCENT 1986-1990
What I've been up to: I've been reading this web page ever since Wayne Ludwig told my sister Kate Grannis about it. I was sorely tempted to send some stuff in, but then I never got around to it. Then, I got a phone call from my sister, she told me Thilo Kaufman was on the web page and his stuff was so obnoxious and I had to read it. Yep, she was right. Those of you who may not remember me should know that in my life, all twenty four years of it, the only person who has offended me so much that I felt the need to take physical action was Thilo. So one day, a Friday, during one of those infamous guys versus girls soccer scrimmages, I punched Thilo. Ah, those were the days. Now, however, I feel I've moved past that part of my life. I graduated from Amity HS in Woodbridge, CT, went to military junior college at New Mexico Military Institute, got an appointment to West Point, didn't make it through Beast Barracks, slung hash, went to Ithaca College, got a B.S. in Applied Economics (honors) (so there Thilo), worked at a brokerage firm in New Haven, CT, got disillusioned, currently am finishing my masters in Agricultural Economics at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO.
Comments: If you remember Sam Tannich, she's getting married. I wonder what ever happened to Ron Adkins, the last time I saw him was in New Mexico, I know where Kirk Philby and Meg Philby are, I knew Rob Holmes was going to marry Krista Rosenblatt before he did, I miss Mr. Gage.

Please let me know how you are. E-mail me at jgrannis@lamar.colostate.edu, being a poor grad student my amusements are few and far between.

Name: Jisca Guérin
Class: Class of '91!
What I've been up to: I graduated from AFCENT with a lot of wonderful people in June of 1991. Some people who left prior to 1990 will remember me as being part of the class of 1992. While at AFCENT I was on the X-Country team (runners will remember the "Lion Killer" and M. Brown) and the Track&Field team for a while. I was also on the Orca Swim Team for a few years. When I left I went to the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston Ontario for a couple of months. I wasn't quite ready for the experience yet, so I took the rest of the year to bring myself up to the Canadian education standards and reapplied for RMC.

The second time around I attended CMR, which is the same thing only in French. This College was located in St-Jean, Québec (near Montréal). My second attempt at Military College was a great success. And even though they made us work really hard, the parties more than made up for it. After completing the five year program, I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and obtained my Commission as an Officer in the Canadian Air Force.

My job is Communications and Electronics Engineer. It's a really wonderful job, because with computers and everything else nowadays we have no choice but to be on the cutting edge of technology. I am presently in Borden Ontario, as the projects coordinator for the communication squadron, and I'm loving every minute of it.
Comments: Other AFCENT buddies that I kept track of over the years are Kimberly Barsalou who is now married and getting her Masters in Geophysics in Calgary. Mary McBain who lives in Edmonton and has also completed her university education. Paul Rickards who is also in the Canadian Forces (as a Logistics Officer, I think). Paul is also in Borden at the moment.

I'd like to hear from anybody and everybody that remembers me at AFCENT. It's so hard to keep track of everyone when we're scattered around the world. This Web page is amazing. You are truly doing a wonderful thing!!

I'd like know about any reunions being planned fo the classes of '91, or '92. Hope to hear from all of you soon.

This page is, of course, always under construction.
