What I've been up to: Aloha everyone! Well, as you can probably guess, after leaving AFCENT, (now known as AFNORTH I see), I moved to beautiful Oahu in Hawaii, and have been here since! I am going to be a SENIOR at Moanalua High School. Ms. Gregory (she taught 5th grade, she recently moved down to first I believe, you all may know her as "the bug lady" or "indian lady") came to visit. Recalling past memories with her almost braught me to tears! I miss everyone so much, as well as the school! As soon as I got home I raced to my old school box and started pulling out pictures...and what a tear jerker that was! I would love to hear back from so many people, some including: Amanda Knox (Brooks), Diane Knight, Naomi Cruz, Deke Richardson, Mathijs Lee, Adam Smolonsky, Christopher Alwood, Sean Scott, Harrison, Sean Bradfield (sp?), Maurie Hampton, Kyle Wood, and so so many moe! If anyone recognizes my name or knows someone on this list, please PLEASE pass on this message! I'm dying to hear from everyone! With much Love & Aloha

I am married now and have two kids, Ashley and Matthew. Matthew is living my life all over again. he just made all-stars in baseball (exception, he's much better than I was and they actually won - we never could beat those guys from camp new amsterdam) I'd really love to hear from anyone who remembers me.

Years at AIHS: 69-71

What I've been up to: After I graduated in'71 I went to the University of Maryland in Munich for a year before joining the Army. I was on active duty for 7 years. After going to school off and on I finally graduated from San Diego State in '91. I still reside in the San Diego area. I married a wonderful lady from South America and we have a 5 year old son. I have only been married 7 years. Late bloomer!!! I remember a lot of people from Brunssum but probably no one remembers me because I was always the quiet one in class. My sister Debbie was 2 years behind me and she graduated in the class of '73 and married a Spec4 there at Afcent. They are still married and live in North Carolina. Love to hear from anyone.

Years at AIHS: 1969-1972

What I've been up to: Moved to Goldsboro, NC in 1972 where my dad retired and my folks still live. A couple of other AFCENT folks - Tom Barckin, Barbara Duport - ended up going to the same high school. Got a math degree from East Carolina University in '79, married in '81 (23 years and counting), two great daughters (a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill and a high school junior with a brand new drivers license)... currently live in Raleigh, NC area working on 15 years at a major pharmaceutical company. Also had the pleasure of living in Dallas, TX for two and half years and Tucson, AZ for four, as well as a few other NC towns during the '80s. I just attended a small 30 year high school reunion and have spent a lot of time thinking about those days lately. It's funny, but I seem to have clearer memories about my 3 years at AFCENT than my last 2 in the states. Anyway, if you're incined, drop me a note!

Years at AIHS: 1969 - 1972 (CDN)

What I've been up to: We recently held our first Canadian AFCENT reunion, here in Niagara Falls in August '04 and what a success it was. It was fantastic to see again, talk too and reminisce with former students, parents and even four CDN teachers from 30+ years ago. The smiles, hugs and laughter quickly overcame any hesitations about attending. It was a great weekend and everyone had a terrific time. It's amazing the memories that were remembered from 30 odd years ago and yet many of us can't seem to remember last year very well... There was a ton of photo's and various memorabilia brought along to display and some great slides to watch. I was surprised at how much memorabilia had been kept by everyone after all these years. We had 50 people here and are hoping for more when we try and get together again in 2006 - maybe..... in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Check out our web site www.afcent.ca for update on '06, photo's from the '04 reunion, peruse our Alumni list and please leave us a message. Thank you to Ruth Kneale for this wonderful AFCENT site. It was my inspiration and a huge help in me finding former Canadian AFCENT'ers to start our own web site. Don't hesitate if you ever have a chance to attend an AFCENT reunion, do it! The memories that will be brought back and the chance to reminisce and remember such a great time and place will give you such a high. Thanks...

Years at AIHS: 1971-1975

What I've been up to: Still trying to contact folks. I see a lot of people who are repeat users of this wonderful site. Notably Chris Morales whom I remember from school. (Chris, you'd probably remember my sister Melissa) I see comments too from Lisa Finstrom who was in my class. Lately I've been thinking about all of you guys a lot. My kids are now the ages that I was when in Holland and I suppose that has a lot to do with it. I'd love hear from anyone. Thanks.

Years at AIHS: 1985-1986

What I've been up to: So many years have passed... here's a very condensed version of "this is my life!" After graduating from U of Idaho with a degree in Education I went back to school and became a licensed cosmetologist. I've been "doing hair" for the last 12+ years. I'm married to a super guy and former Marine, Jerry and we have 4 children: the oldest 10 and the youngest 1. (Two boys, a girl and a boy) I've been in Pullman, WA since 1991 and plan on being here for a few more years. Wishing I'd been better at keeping in touch and since the new year is arriving I'm planing on turning over a new leaf and improving my correspondence skills.
