| The
Cristobal High School Class of 1964 held our 40th class reunion in conjunction
with the Panama Canal Society Annual Reunion this summer. Not only
did a large group of our classmates attend, but we also had some join us
that would have graduated with us had their family not moved elsewhere
or that they graduated other years. Everyone agreed that it was great
to see old friends again and how fast those years since high school
went by. As for myself, I wondered why high school seemed to last
forever yet 40 years have flown by at the blink of an eye.
A tremendous amount of work for nearly a year went into making this reunion one to remember and the committee members - Barbara (O'Neal), Naomi (Kuntz), Ewald Wiberg, Bonnie (Ward) [me!], Nancy (Hopkins), Janet Hoverson, and Chris (Bath) - deserve a huge round of applause for pulling this off. A huge thanks goes to Chris because although she couldn't attend, she worked extremely hard to track down classmates that had been out of touch for years. She was quite the Sherlock Holmes, believe me! I hope you enjoy the photos Many thanks to Naomi (Kuntz), Nancy (Hopkins), Lorraine (Urey), George Nordstrom (BHS '62), and Sue (Mathieson) for their contributions of photos. Please email me if you find any wrong identification information, broken links, or can identify any missing information. Also if you have any photos of the 2004 CHS and/or PCS reunion. including the Despedida, that you would like to see on these pages, again just let me know at email(at)panamaliving(dot)com . Some of the larger photos may take a while to load if you aren't using a broadband connection. Be patient - you will enjoy them. |
| The hunt for friends began on Wednesday and continued through the whole reunion. Hanging around the Registration room helped! |
