Hi:
Always enjoy your web site. Your latest pictures were great!!

Bill, I just revisited your website to check out your latest photos. Great job! Thanks for the time, effort, and expense you've put into this project. Carlos (author of "PANAMA: A Novel")
Bill nice job. Thanks for your work. Los Rios boys do it again.
This website is so fantastic that I have introduced our beloved CZ to many of my friends with whom I grew up in Mexico many years ago. I lived in the CZ from '62-73. At that time my last name was Parthenais, not Garrison! (I am the same Betty A. Parthenais who sang, acted, danced, etc on many of the stages in the CZ). You attended BHS with my daughter, Alice, and her husband, Tom Engelke. Please don't ever discontinue CZIMAGES.COM! I, along with 1,000's of others would be devastated, to say the least. Si, siempre tengo EL HIJO en mis ojos. O, mejor dicho, tengo mis ojos en EL HIJO! Que quedes en el amor de Dios. My husband of 26 yrs, Reid, graduated BHS in 1963 and Annapolis in 1967. So, we're all Zonies.
Great web site Bill! I want to plug two reunions to the guest book browsers. The BHS Class of 1980 will be holding its 20th Class reunion during the annual Panama Canal Society Reunion on July 7 and 8, 2000 at the Tampa Waterside Marriott. For more information email me or go to the Class web site at http://go.to/BHS80. A St Mary's Parochial School Reunion is planned for Saturday July 8, 2000 for all classes at the Sacred Heart Academy in Tampa about 2 miles up the street from the reunion hotel. For more information contact coordinator Kathleen Welch at katbrat@juno.com
very nice, brings back a lot of memories...
You are wonderful for supplying this happiness! Thank you
Breaks my heart that the CZ had to become a political issue.
Thank you so much for your web site I just recently moved back from Panama and this web site is the closest I can get to it. I love Panama and loved every second that I was there. Thanks again! Bekah Clark
This is wonderful to go and join in the memories of the zone!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
Super web site, brought back a lot of memories. I was in the US Air FOrce and was stationed in the Canal Zone from 1969 ~ 1972 then from 1973 ~ 1989, I cherish a lot of great moments in the CZ, I still miss the Good Ole Days!!! CZ 4 EVER
Great job! If you need more pictures we've got lots. Have lots of pictures of the old days, from parents and grandparents, also lots of pictures of the Canal Zone police departments personnel...look forward to seeing more. Thank you
Thank you for the posts, Brings back memories. As my father Dan, was with IAGS and schools div Audiovisual I inherited many photos however I should dig them out for posting.
Does anyone sell molas? There were ads in the RECORD years ago but at that time I didn't know anyone who was interested. Now, I have met a couple of people who have seen mine and they want to buy some. Please e-mail me if you have any information who my friends can contact. Muchisimas gracias!

How much finding this site means to me. I've been re-establishing long lost friendships via various zone related sites. Thank you for a tremendous job. Montana Bill, BHS 47, Colorado State U 51, USAF to 57, Western & Delta Airlines to 1989. Retired, golf, fish, ski, hunt, travel. Best to all old Zonians. Peace be with you!
What a great site. The shot of the train I did so many dives on and speared so many bass in/on/and around brings back memories. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this. Mike Rigby CHS 84
Love your site. Keep up the good work!
I was born in the Canal Zone and have lived all my life in Panama, and when I think of my younger days I recalled the good times and experiences I grew up, with all my zonies friends, I really enjoy looking at all pictures and reading all your articles about the Canal Zone. All these memories will always live on with great nostalgia.
Very interesting and memorable Was born at Gorgas Hospital And brought back memories of long ago. Was there from 1931 until 1948 went back on a 10 day touring 1998
Great site with many memories. Photo of Balboa Elem. School was the High School. Elementary school was on the first floor. Wish there were more "really" old time visitors. Like BHS '38 - '42.
First moved to the "Big Z" in `49 and then back again in `55 Grad with BHS `56 and went to CZJC in `57....Why I never went back after the service I`ll never figure that one out...Has anyone ever come with an answer as to WHY so many like myself think this way????Well Doctor, it was like this------Many Hi`s to those I haven`t seen yet..The 4`th is almost here
Bill- We sure enjoy your web page, keep up the good work. Bob
I was born in San Fernando Hospital, raised in Curundu Heights and graduated from Balboa High School in 1973. I haven't been back to Panama in 20 years. Now I can share these fantastic pictures/memories with my children and treasure them forever. Thank you for making this possible. Que Viva Panama!
I lived at Albrook AFB in 1973 to 1975 and taught in the Electronic Department at IAAFA. I appreciate this web site. It brings back some very special memories. The fact that it is no longer under US jurisdiction is sad. Keep up the good work.
Nice web page! I wish that there were more like it. I'm not a Zonie, but I have lived it Panama and your site brings back some good memories. Thank you.
