Outside of the usual ' dad stuff,' I am still involved in music, inviting outside musicians to play with the core group I've been with since my return to this area in 1976! For work, I install and maintain data circuits for Bell Atlantic, one of several jobs I've had there. In the years after ACS, I've worked on a luxury yacht, been a student, bank teller, nurseryman, and done landscape construction I attended ACS for only one year, but I really felt like one of the ' family.' My time in Athens, and in Europe was a real experience, and it's been great when I've run into former students and other friends. Besides calls or an occasional letter, I've seen people in fast food restaurants, and probably the biggest surprise was spotting someone in the crowd leaving a Led Zeppelin concert in ' 76, at what is now the USAIR arena. Well, uh, yes that was some time ago! jimkress@ase.com KRODEL(BROSKY), KATIE(69-70)- I went to ACS from 1969-70 for 7th grade.

Since then, I have been a stay at home Mom, and loving it. I'm so happy to find the ACS website and would love to hear from classmates.

Went to San Diego to live with my sister whose husband was in the Navy and out to sea. After living in that fast lane for 9 months, I rejoined my parents in Spain. Left there in the fall of 1977 and went back to Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Lived there until summer of 1981, because my father went into a coma in March 1981 due to brain death after a botched operation at Duke University. He stayed in the coma until his death in February 1982. Between the time of my father's coma and death, I married Wayne Isom from Guantanamo. We had been together since 1978, and had planned to marry. Wayne remained in Gitmo while I lived in North Carolina as we could not get housing on the base. I went to work civil service and continued to live with my mom to help take care of her. Finally in 1984, Wayne was able to get housing in Gitmo so off I went. His two sons also came to live with us. We stayed in Gitmo until Sept of 1986 when the company he worked for moved to Yuma Arizona. I was pregnant at the time with my first child so instead of going to Yuma I came to NC to have my son. In January 1987, I moved with my son to Arizona. Stayed there five months - knew the marriage was not going to work - (Wayne liked to drink too much) - and came back to NC where I have lived with my son and mother ever since. I work for Civil Service as a Personnel Management Specialist with the Human Resources Office at Cherry Point. Started out as a clerk in 1987 and have worked my way up. I enjoy my job, my son, my life. No remarriage - once was enough thank you. alisom@ec.rr.com LEWIS,

getting ready for college next year and yes he did get perfect scores
on his SAT's! We love to remember our days in Greece (We started dating in Kefalari Park some 23 years ago!). The smell of the pine trees, the trickling running water down the road from the American Club to the Esso station, the heat of the sun on your back in the Islands, Mr Davis yelling at me to take it easy on the Foosball machine and the sounds of Elton John blaring from the Jukebox! Carefree, Sunlit days, without a care in the world. I feel ANCIENT! Soon, though our children will be gone and Angela and I will roam free once more-Look out! We love to hear from all of you, even those of you time has swept away. Write us!

TED (71-74)- I can't believe it
been nearly 5 years since I updated this thing so here goes. After graduating
from ACS in 74, I headed for the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs Co.
I spent a little too much time watching TV and not enough time studying
so managed to flunk out after three years. I headed home to AZ and finally
graduated in 1980 from Arizona State U with a BS in Aerospace Engineering.
Still wanting to fly, I rejoined the Air Force in 1980. I met my wife
Ava at my first assignment at Kelly AFB, (San Antonio) TX and we've
been married since 82. We have three kids: son Theo, Laura, and Christopher
born in 84, 86, 88. We've traveled the country since San Antonio, living
in Enid OK, Colorado Springs CO, Warner Robins GA, Ft Walton Beach FL,
and now retired from the military and living in Anchorage AK. While
in the Air Force I was a pilot flying the C-130 Hercules. That skill
transferred pretty easily to my current job flying for Alaska Airlines
as a 737 copilot. I had only been with the company 8 months on 9/11
and that event hit our industry hard. Alaska has weathered the storm
relatively well, so far, so I still have job. In addition, we started
a business in the local area and opened a Baseball and Softball Batting
Cage. Baseball in Alaska, you ask? You bet. It's a pretty short season
but business is pretty good. I do miss the time living in Greece and
hope to get back there soon. Love to hear from anyone. PO Box 672405

Along the way, we bought a home in Kyparissi Greece (a village we found through our friendship with Matt), I went to India on a Fulbright grant, did a lot of writing (short stories, art criticism, education, and three small books relating to education, a couple of pieces have won prizes even). After returning from Egypt, I have been consulting and writing.
