January 2000
I always try to start a New Year with a quick hit on our great Web Page. As always, it's a Winner! Thanks for all the hard work that goes behind what we see. Thanks also to Jacque Crowell for sending me info on the upcoming reunion. I'm definitely going to attend this one - about time!!! My best wishes to my former classmates and friends for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! Look forward to seeing you all in July!
Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and that all your wishes for 2000 become a reality! Jacque, Bill, Laurie & myself would like to encourage you to sign up for our class reunion early. We hope that you will spread the word among all your Class of 70 buds so that we can have the best reunion ever!
On a sad note, I would like to pass along the news that "Doc" Morse, BHS Class of 64, passed away in his home in the former Canal Zone on Dec.22. Doc died just hours before his retirement from the PCC and just hours before the Panama Canal was "given" to Panama. Life sure is strange.......rest in peace, me amigo.
Bill- The last e-mail address you have is for work. Please update this and send any correspondence to the new address. Thanks for all your hard work--the web site looks great. My wife and I hope to make the reunion in July. Look forward to seeing you and other classmates there. Bill
Great Job!
BILL, MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOU HARD WORK DURING 1999. I, AS I'M SURE MANY OTHERS DO, APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. WE PANAZONIANS ENJOY KEEPING IN TOUCH THROUGH YOU TERRIFIC WEB SITE. LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP.
Brings back some sweet and sad memories. I lived at Ft. Amador 1966-1969. Attended Curundu JHS for 2 yrs then 10th grade at BHS, 1968-69. What a time! Such a beautiful country. Thanks. Be well. Joseph Howard
Jac, Mark Bozman & myself went to the Marriot today to pick out our room for our class reunion. They have given us very spacious accommodations with lots of room to party and dance-the hotel is very, very nice and right on the water. An excellent location! We did have a huge hurdle to cross with the Panama Canal Society Board of Directors-I will let it go at that because if I do not I am sure to sound critical; very, very critical & this is not the venue for that-I do encourage all of you get your reservations in early for both the class reunion & the society reunion.
Great Home Page! See ya'll at the reunion.
Bill great work, the hotel is gorgeous, and we will have a great time at the reunion, plan to dance my feet off, and all the ladies' feet too. See you in July
As always Bill, an excellent job. Patrick and I were pleasantly surprised to see our wedding picture on the site. Thank you. Keep up the great work and we'll see everyone at the reunion in July.
This is ed filo I need to change my e-mail address to the one above at edfil@hotmail.com
Just a quick note that 400 rooms have been reserved already for the reunion in July....so send your membership and reserve your room soon so you can stay at the main hotel! I am soooo looking forward to seeing everyone again....and don't forget to vote for Bill McLaughlin for Vice President of the Panama Canal Society.
