Most of my left eyebrow was left on the monkey bar at Petite Beauregard. It was 1960, my family was perusing the area, Mom trying to figure out where we would live. I was running from my brother and not looking where I was going, ran into the monkey bars cutting off my left eyebrow. After stitches I was told I'd never have that eyebrow again. Fortunately it did regrow, the scar is covered. I was 9.

Read your note in Pirate Chat about traveling on SS United States. We may have passed you going back to the real world from Paris on the Buckner... Looks like we may have had similar careers. I started with IBM Federal Systems in 1969 as a programmer and retired 36 years later as a systems engineering manager.

Anywho if you're still in Arlington would you be interested in getting added to my list of a few PAHS alum in the area that occaisionally get together for lunch? We haven't restarted since covid, but maybe I'll get bored enough one day to see if there are some still around that are interested....

Hi Michael, I was fortunate to have traveled on the SSUS 4 times first class thanks to the USAF. First time to and from England as a little girl during the rough seas of December.
Second time to and from Paris. My sister and I picked the locks so we could enjoy dancing in tourist. We took our 2 dachshunds with us. I still have the menus. What else would you like to know? Best, Linda
