Great site. I notice that the class of 57 is rather elusive--maybe some of us have a good reason to hide. drop me a line if you wish. (I just retired, so I have not too much to do other than work up a new accuracy load for Hensley and Gibbs #68 in .45 ACP and read e-mail.)

Well, It's been a while since I have posted in the notice board. It's been great hearing from all my friends. And thank you for the b-day cards (you know who you are.) I'm still looking for a few friends that I haven't found yet. Does anyone know where I can find Teresa Hamm ('85), Kim Frye (Beckett) ('85), and Harvey Walker? If anyone has any info at all please e-mail me. Thanks. Oh, and if anyone can tell me about our 15th class reunion, please contact me. Where and when is it going to be. Thank you!

It's amazing the people that bring you back to way back when. Wish I were still there, but as we grow, things change. I'm now in Little Rock, AR going to school to get my Bachelor's for Nursing. Work at the VA and hope someday to get back to an ocean. Debbie Thompson has been here for awhile, still same old Debbie. Went to the reunion this summer and had a blast. My son and I had a great time with family and friends. Tracy Wilkinson, where have you been?

i have read all the e-mail on this site and i think it is just great that there are soooooooo many people out there that feel the way i do -- i talk to my friends here and they go to hi school reunions now and then but just don't seem to have the same feelings -- and definitely don't go as far back as i talk about -- usually i'm talking to my somewhat younger friends and associates at work -- i guess we all were and are very special people and valued our friendships and acquaintances and our good times in panama -- and i think they were all great -- i tell my sons about some of the crazy things i did while in hi school and they look at me and shake their heads -- no sure what the head shakes meant -- guess it was better than the reaction i got from my folks as i told them some of my adventures -- years later of course -- well again thanks matt -- if you remember me (or not) and want to chat -- e-mail me

Just wanted to check in and since it has been a while. Wow, this list has grown since it first started. I remember when it was Matt, LeeS2dent and I on the guest book. It was easy to keep track of then. I made many new friends and met a lot of good people in person because of the Lost Paradise site. Keep up the good work Matt. My old friends are still finding me through this site.

I have spent way too much time going through this site -- but thanks Matt -- I have enjoyed this tremendously -- this has put a great ending to a terrible terrible 10 days -- i got back from vacation on july 1 -- hubby had spinal surgery on july 2 (doing fine) and on july 3 my grandson's mother took off and we just found out that they are in fla somewhere -- had to take my grandson to a medical clinic in cocoa ???? fla -- but now we just have to sit back and let the police do their job -- but i can tell you that my hair color has lightened up this week with all the grey in it now -- i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy -- any way if you would all say a special prayer for the safe return of my grandson and his sister and brother it would be appreciated -- i am a '67 grad of bhs and my husband (mike peters) graduated in '66 -- wouldn't mind hearing from whoever would like to send me a few minutes of memories -- take care and bless you all

Wow, what a flashback! Saw grass, surf, tree swings, DDT trucks, empanadas, the Napoli and more... I am very glad to see some familiar names and the Zonie Spirit is still alive! We lived in Balboa and Corozal from 1959 through 68 and li ved in Corozal, three houses down from the "Crazy House" and across from the pool after it was built. Went to school at Los Rios and 7th grade at Curundu Jr. High when it was brand new. My dad taught Spanish, typing and off-the-wall craziness at Balboa Hi gh from 1959 through 1964 and at Canal Zone College from 1964 to 1968. We moved to Seguin, Texas without realizing the consequenses. I would love to hear from any old friends, Adios
