William B. mentions the '63 Champs 14th July parade.  A group of Sea Scouts marched in that parade.  All of them PAHS students.  Somehow, we got an invitation.  Unfortunely for me, the pace was too fast for me to keep up and I didn't finish.  I went on to U of M Munich and got to know a lot of America student whose father was stationed in Germany.  None of them had the diversite of activities that we did.

Just got a great birthday gift from my grandnephew, Miles Kath, age five. It's a joke. 

"What did the pirate tell me to say on my birthday?

'Aye Matey!'"

Happy Birthday to all my maties.

Thanks to those who keep us informed and entertained. 

Does anyone have a 1961 yearbook you can part with? I am offering to buy one and have it shipped/mailed to my home at 33 Jefferson Court, St. Petersburg, FL 33711. I  moved back to the states after graduation and packed my yearbook in a footlocker, which sadly never arrived in the USA. Lots of meaningful personal belongings were in it. Please let me know if you have a yearbook to spare. 

When I left PAHS, I worked in D.C. for the summer and then went to UGA, followed by GA State and Univ. of South Florida for my graduate work. 

Husband Gene and I have lived in St. Pete 53 years now. Yes, we survived the two recent hurricanes, but many have lost their homes and cars. We are fine. 

Have a joyful holiday season!

My work as a commercial airline pilot gave me a chance for a visit during one of my Paris layovers.

I visited the PAHS campus in 2002 or 2003.  It was the home of the American School of Paris.  The campus had been divided.  The area where the chorus class rooms were located is now a French lycee.  I do not remember its name.  The principal was most gracious and gave me a tour of the ASP facility.

Thanks, Mike.  She gave me a private email on here.  I have gotten a little melancoly lately.  Feeling my mortallity as I am  sure all of us have at some point I would suppose.  I am in remission for the second time since 2016 when diagnosed with two forms of the big C.  One of them was stage 4.  Thank you Uncle. 

I wish I could travel to some of this country and globe but travel is not in my cards anymore.  I sure do envy everyone all with the trips and friendly gatherings. 

Go for a check up next week to see if it holds.  The first time around I only lasted for about three months.  I have had a good time with it.  Hope all is well with everyone, I know that I am doing fine.
