DONALD(1967-69)- Graduated from ACS Jun 13th, 1969, yes it was
a Friday too! I was not very active in school, shy I guess although
I did have the reputation of being the "class clown", didn't
do much dating back then. I was in the Chess Club though. I made up
for that later when I grew up tho. Although I still not sure if I have
reached that point even now. My best friend back then had to be Rick

and crazy days. I joined the service 1970, was stationed in Lackland,

TERRY(73-75)-My brothers (Chris and Steve) and I all went to
ACS for about two years- 1973- to 1975. I graduated there, the boys
went back to the States with my parents and eventually went on to college
there. (UC Santa Cruz)(Chris was a drummer with "Camper Van Beethoven"
and "Monks of Doom", then married and lives with his wife
and their two boys in Australia. Steve plays a lot of music, travels
around the world and lives north of S.F. Cal.) After studying dance

just now starting a mentoring program, much like the Big Brother Big

I have taught Socials 11, Humanities 9 and 10, Math 9, Core 8, and Outdoor Ed. I met my partner, Glenda Harcourt, in 1990 and we were married a year later in Dawson Creek.

ERNIE(?-73)- Guess I'll start out by updating
everyone on who I've bumped into from ACS in this small world. I saw
Matt Econopouly and Mike Barry in the summer of '72 after graduation.
Saw Pete Christ a little later that year. I wonder if he's still bitching
about a small phone bill I left behind ? Had to use the phone to let
Katrina Meinhardt know when I'd arrive in Fairfax Va. I lost touch with
her but I think she moved to New Orleans and tied the knot. Oct. '72
I enlisted in the USAF and the world got smaller. As I was standing
against a wall in the San Antonio airport waiting to be indoctrinated
into basic training, I looked across the room and saw Bob Rusk. I enlisted
in Wilkes-Barre Pa. and he in New Orleans. Four months prior to this
we were both riding the same school bus to ACS. On that first night
at basic training while the sergeants where screaming at us I know we
both had the same thought as everyone else, "What the hell did
I get myself into?" I only saw Bob two or three more times after
that so who knows where he is. SMITH DWIGHT G(1953-58) We called it Anglo-American High School back then, and I attended 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. My copy of the 1955 Evzone includes pictures of us 6th graders. The seniors that year included Alison Kent, Babs Thompson, and June McBride. Mrs. Hatchett was our 6th grade teacher but others included her husband William, Mr. Banani, the librarian Mrs. Dickie (my favorite), Mrs. Standish. Some of my friends were Anne MacPhearson, May and Tony Capsaskis, and Patty Gillette, among others. As for myself, a doctorate in biology from BYU and a professorship here at Connecticut State Univ for the past 30 years. Three marriages and two kids and no desire to retire. Looking back, I treasure those years at AAHS/ACS---I think that we all did, really---we were a close-knit little group and we all had a wonderful time there. Sure would like to hear from some of my old friends. Please look me up in the old Evzone for 1955----I am the shy guy standing off a little to the right, front row for Sixth Grade I.
