School Story

Too many. Field trips to London, Honor Society trips to Paris, summer trip to SHAPE with my best friend to stay with a guy we met at a Speech and Drama Festival, senior trip to Mallorca. Great teachers (John and Barbara Reddington among the best) great friends, great upbringing. I wish I could go back in time.

When and where were you a brat outside the United States?

1970 to 1976 RAF Lakenheath, England (K thru 1st half of 4th grade)
1979 to 1985 RAF Alconbury (7th thru 12th grade)

Have you been to a Gathering or Homecoming?

No

Do you have a memory that could have only happened because of where you were?

Meeting Charlton Heston outside the stage door of The Caine Mutiny Court Martial; being on Top of the Pops and meeting Limahl from Kajagoogoo, drinking in pubs from 14... Probably not the best memory to share, but it's a great one to cherish!

The dreaded question...Where are you from?

I am from RAF Alconbury, Huntingdon, England

Do you have a favorite place where you ever lived? What made it special to you?

RAF Alconbury. Hands down. Formative years, still have friends from then, we still have school reunions every 3 to 5 years. Field trips to London, the history, the culture, the architecture. The access to Europe, senior trip in Majorca. Just absolutely fabulous.

Have you been back to visit any place you lived growing up overseas?

I live backed up RAF Alconbury 2 years after I graduated, or I plan to stay. Ended up getting married and moving back to the States. I have gone back at least half a dozen times, twice all I was stationed in Germany, once when I live with my mom and Scotland, and twice with my family since then.

Did you live (not just visit) in...

Europe
