Comments I don't know why I waited so long to do this because God knows I miss Panama! I guess I thought no one would be interested in where I was - please, drop me a line if you remember me, I'd love to hear from you! 'Went out to San Diego last year and just the sight of a real beach - not a Minnesota lakeshore - brought tears to my eyes. The ocean is a magnificent thing and we should count our blessings that we were allowed to call such a beautiful country as Panama our home for a few wonderful years. Take care and God bless!

Comments Typical Army Brat... if I hadn't graduated from high school a year early I would have gone to a THIRD high school (and THAT would have been the one next to Ft. Huachuca, AZ).

I was in the Oceanography Explorer's Post #3.

And to my Canadian friends who went to BHS... you might find it amusing that I am married to an ex-Canadian from Vancouver Island.

Comments US Navy Panama...Coco Solo. I have been tracking anything that will lead me to the land I loved. But in reading everything I have I have relized something...Just as you all have lost your home (i.e. The ZONE) I have lost my dream. I was loyal to my dream, I worked on making my dream real, I even lived my dream. But I have read so much and I now feel like an outsider. No, I was not born in the ZONE, as a matter of fact I came there by choice, once I got there I LOVED it. I have sat and read the strife, I will not cause strife all I will say is this...........
I LOVED the ZONE, even though I am not a ZONIAN...why, since I was not born there does everyone else have to be so arrogant? I have surfed every Zonie site for years, I have layed low for years trying to just re-live my WONDERFUL times through everyones memories. What do we have?...one more generation that will remember what life was like in the Zone? Lets look at history...many an empire was lost with arrogance. GoldenFrog debated everyone, I will not do that, I will ask, why..when I gave so much love to your "DREAM Paradise" do I feel like an outsider. I will always love the Zone no matter what replies I get from this e-mail, but I just had to get my feelings out.

Comments Hi! Everyone,
Just wanted to update where I am and what's been going on since second party I had in Dallas, Texas. I am planning a Panama Canal Zone Resturant/club God willing along with a Entertainment Center for families and mostly to help kids. It will be dealing all areas of the intertainment business. The focus is to bring families together and keep kids off the street. It will be huge. I will keep everyone updated.
I have had two CZ get togethers in Dallas. It's been two and half years since we did the last one at Sneaky Petes in Lewisville, Texas. About 80-100 people both times. The Geohagen brothers were a big surprise. I have have some great pictures but never found someone to help me get them on web page.
I was married to Bob Boucher from Howard Air Force base. I graduated in 1975 Balboa High, Bob graduated in 1972. We have two sons Chris/25 and Michael/22. We are proud grandparents of twin boys now a 1-1/2year old Dylan and Daylan. We are divorced now been ten years actually. Bob is in Des Moines Iowa so is son Michael. Also Allen Boucher Class of 1975 lives there with his family. Jim Boucher died several years ago.
I am now staying with my sister in Austin, texas temporaly due to medical situation. It is giving me time to plan resturant and bookings. I'm a Booking Agent for Corp., and private parties. If anyone needs any type of music that's what I do.
All of you who live in the Austin Area. I have a Blues/rock band (Hugh Fadel)who is playing at Babes downtown on April 7,2001. I am contacting as many people as possible to see if they would like to meet there or plan a dinner or event somewhere else soon? Please e-mail me if you are interested on April 7th.
Once I get business plan done for CZ resturant I will be asking for donations for memborbilla of CZ and pictures, etc. I'd appreciate it.
Please get in touch I would like to update Pam Horoda's and I data base for future events.
I would also like to promote Robert Bryan's Cd. Called "Panama" Last Man out! Please contact me for orders or info to order from him. Each dollar goes to Panama Canal Museum.
God Bless, Rosana

Comments I thought I knew everyone growning up but don't recognize very many names...I went to Coco Solo until 5th grade then we moved to Margarita and went to CHS until 8th grade. We moved stateside in 1978. I have run into a couple people. I ran into Maureen Convery about a year ago in Tampa when we were camping. She saw me walking past her campsite and approached me. It was weird after
20 years. Then also David Leggett I was at my sons football practice and he just kept looking really familiar and I asked him if he grew up in Panama. We run into each other every once in awhile. I am married now going on 17 years and my husband Mike and I have 2 boys and a girl.
13-15-16. Daughter being the youngest. I also spent a weekend with Pat Cirulli in January. Her and Mr. Cirulli came down for my parents 50th anniversary. It was great to see her after 20 years too. She looks the same. David Leggett is married with two boys and his wife is real nice. Her name is Lisa. Everyone that I've talked to who didn't get to graduate in Panama had quite an adjustment when we moved here getting used to stateside schools and fitting in. I hated the states. Maureen is recently married and they had 3 month old twins when I saw her camping. Would like to here from anyone who remembers me...

Comments Greetings from the Commonwealth of Virginia---I was fortunate to have served two tours in Panama, both at Kobbe, the second being during the "Just Cause" era. I love the country, the people and the way of life. I went back Aug-Sep '99 to see the place one more time before the turn-over, I felt right at home. What wonderful memories !! Enjoy---Dennis

Comments The extended Cocoli Family has just lost someone very dear to us. Life on earth has ended for Mrs Walker of Nicobar Avenue. Her husband George and her son Freddie preceded her several years ago. In the time period roughly 1950 to 1965, the Walkers were without a doubt our most popular family in Cocoli. Friendly, cheerful, helpful, and neighborly---that was Mrs Walker to us Cocoli kids. I cannot remember her complaining that her house had become a gathering place for so many of us back in those days. Mr and Mrs Walker were the Ozzie and Harriette of Nicobar Avenue, of Cocoli. Mickey, Jeannie, and Carole, your mother was such a respected lady and mother. She was one in a million, and she will always be part of our best Cocoli memories. Thanks, Mr Walker, for your great wife. And, thanks, Mrs Walker, for your husband and for you, and for those four great Cocoli kids.
