David VanWinkle (1962)

My French teacher was Mlle Yvonne Taranger, later Mme Yvonne Lunt.  I believe I remember that she married an RAF pilot, breaking the hearts of many of us teenage boys.

And my mistake, I was in 7th grade in 1962 having just graduated from the elementary school to the big building.  Thanks to all for the French teachers names.

I believe Mme Lunt was my French teacher and my sister, Kathy, had Mdme Peneau.

Hi Hank, I am sorry for your loss. I lost my husband to Parkinson's in 2020. He also fought it for nearly 30 years. Nicole de Naray, Class of '67

Hank, my condolences on losing your younger brother. I lost my older sister Jayne to Parkinson's three years ago. She dropped out of Mary Washington to come to Paris with the family in 1960 and loved every minute of it. She never regretted that choice and even joined me for a class reunion in Washington DC, 25th I think. Scary to be past 50 now.

It is with a very heavy heart that I post the passing of my dear friend Janet Geary Baker, PAHS 62, on August 10, 2026.  Her obituary may be viewed on Facebook and also Legacy.Com.  She maybe listed as Janet Millard Baker on these sites.  I encourage everyone who knew this special lady to please sign the guestbook at Legacy.Com and write a note.  There is no formal funeral and I know her children would love to hear from friends of their Mom.  Janet will always hold a special place in my heart as she was part of one of the best times in my life.  I pray that she is finally resting in peace and has a wonderful reunion with all our other PAHS that have passed.💔🙏

Michael Coe (Coe) (1962)

The list of friends is long and the losses are mounting as we age.  BUT the good news is that we are left with not just friendships for life, but brothers and sisters that we have shared our entire lives with.  The first kiss we shared, learning to dance, hugging each other, litterly sharing our lives is so important and will forever be cherished by all of us, whether still here or passed on.  That happiness will never be replaced or forgotten.  Thanks to each of my friends for being there.

Tom O'Keefe (1964)

Yes, past friendships from Paris continue until today.  BUT also friendships from the reunion with students I didn't know in my sophomore, junior, and senior years where we share a common experience.  And one of those is YOU, Mickey !

Beautifully framed, Mickey. Thank you. The many, many memories are so highly cherished.

Sad news

My brother Dave, PAHS Class of '65 i\I believe, is in hospice. Cancer. He is a veteran of Vietnam, owner of a computer consulting company, a husband, brother, and a father. Prior to being known as "Dave", he was known as L. David, and even earlier as Lynn (until the about 7th grade when he was erroneously assigned to the girls gym class) . He will be missed.

I thought that this notice had already been posted, but I don't see it.  There is a CD with all our yearbooks on it.  Surly a lot of us would like to view it, but where on the net to post it and how?

Michael Savuto (1968)

Yes, Please   let us know if there is are CDs of the yearbooks, I would like one for the 1965 school year. Unfortunately one of my saddest memories of PAHS was the my copy was stolen from when I left it in the gym and not turned in or returned to me. Granted, they diid not print enough copies that year, but I never understood why someone would want one that had been signed by other students to someone other than themselves.

Aaarrrgggh Pirates!  Delighted to hear of a Yearbook CD!  I occasionally look at mine when I read everyone's posts so I know some of you wished you still had one.  Our editor that year was Squeaky and I've often wondered where she was.  It was a very creative endeavor and has held up over time.  Best to All.
