Just received word that Tony Gray has passed away.  He will be sorely missed.  He loved SAHS.  He loved Korea.  I miss the nights that Tony, George May, Carl Craven and I used to hang out in Itaewon and tell stories about the times at SAHS.  He was a good man.  May he rest in peace.

Bill Krause (1973)

Stan, thank you. Sincere condolences. I shared this sad news on our Facebook SAHS site.

Keith Hodges (1967)

Stan, he passed this year?

 


03/20/23 09:07 AM #505    

Stan Lobdell (1977)

I'm not positive, but I believe that Tony Gray passed away on March 18, 2023 at Dongsan Hospital in Daegu from cancer.


03/20/23 03:13 PM #506    

Keith Hodges (1967)

I can't post possibilities. It would be helpful if folks would tell me for sure if and when (year) a SAHSian passed.

Mini Reunion April 29  60's 

 

Thank you all for coming to the reunion. The evening could not have gone better. We had thirteen attend and enjoyed every minute. It was good to see old friends and make new ones.  We met in the bar, had drinks and were seated for dinner in a private area of the restaurant. There was such lively conversation at the table. Five of the late party goers continued the evening at my house. More fun reminiscing.

If anyone is interested in holding a mini reunion in their area, I can share my experience in planning the event.

To Elana Pehrkon:  CONGRATULATIONS! on what I believe to be a precedent setting event. Even though my wife and I had to absent ourselves I think you really pulled one off. Perhaps the "mini-reunion" may become the standard for the classes of the 1959-1960 era. Good job and kind of you to share your knowledge.

Kathy Church (Jordan) (1966)

Hi Elana,

Many thanks for the time and effort you gave  in making this reunion evening take place. Looking forward to the next one! Kathy Church Jordan.

Alain McNamara (1965)

Thank you, Elena, for all of the work you;ve extended to arrange this wonderful mini-reunion. It was great meeting you and certainly the other alums (and spouses) at the dinner. Warm regards, Alain ('65)

Just curious, regarding SAHS memorabilia. Can one obtain t-shirts or hoodies.

Todd Himes (1980)

I second that.....would love to get a couple of SAHS Falcon (older logo) T - Shirts from a reliable source,

Mourning the loss of my SAHS Brother David Leiter SAHS Class of 1980. David was a fun loving, positive guy who always made me laugh and feel better about things. That was his gift to those who knew him. RIP

I've got the 18 photo albums in 2 big boxes that keith sent me two years (?) ago.  They include many photos from '64,'65,'66 a well as most reunions from '86 thru '98 ?? I enjoyed seeing pics of dorm supervisors and teachers  ... after 20-35 years ... older but much younger than 'we' are now!

Downsizing significantly and these are going with a bunch of other 'Stuff' to our local landfill / recycling collector next week. 

Unless someone really, really wants them (my sisters Sandy '64 and Suzanne '66 have deeclined after careful review).  Please contact ASAP if interested. phone/text 801-244-2220, email fefifofum747@gmail.com.

Yesterday (2 hours out of surgery) I spoke to Lynn after 50+ years).  That was fun and memorable and prompted me to make this contact to you fellow Falcons of the 60's. 

So, my SAHS friends, in our twilight we all have such great memories (for me and the few others expanded by the many hours every week on the Dorm Train!!).  My two years at SAHS were the best an 18 year old could have expected or wanted back in '65.

"live long(er) and prosper!"

Hi.  Don't know if anyone has said, but if you have artifacts from SAHS and don't want to keep them, send them here.  They are always asking for contributions.  https://aoshs.org/

This is the official museum/archives for DoDDS schools.

Sandi Haddock (DeBrand) (1967)

Hi Scott,  If you have any old Dorm or Train pictures taken in Fall of 1963 through Spring 1964 I would really like to have them or at least see them and pass them on to someone else. Please let me know it this would be possible. My phone number is 803-271-5818. Thanks, Sandi Haddock (DeBrand)

Joe Holcombe (1967)

I have all the T-shirts from our reunions, but no extras. I have all the newspapers from 1963-1966 and they are posted on my web site (Smugmug).


09/17/23 09:00 AM #519    

James (Jim) Faulconer (1965)

Joe, it's probably a sign of my technological incompetence, but wasn't sure where to find your Smugmug website. I went to Smugmug, a photo-sharing Instagram site, but didn't see anything there that linked me to you, and I didn't find your website otherwise. Can you give me some more hints about how to get there? I'm interested in seeing the newspapers.

Regarding the 2 boxes of photos. 

Turns out they are available on the internet thanks to Joe Holcombe '67. Plus a ton of others that aren't in the stuff.  His collection is incredibly well organized and includes a bunch of color photos and other photos that aren't in these boxes. It is a good thing too since in these boxes/albums there are no descriptions or titles to any of the pictures.

They are to be found at :

https://amyholcombe.smugmug.com/SeoulAmericanHighSchool

What a great job he has done! 

 

I hadn't been aware of this until yesterday.  But now all of you who have contacted me by phone, text or email can assess them for anything you are looking for. 

American Overseas School Historical Association (AOSHA) and Youngsan Project included also should consider 

Is is so great to know they are out there in the cloud for anyone ... i hope those interested (or any SAHS alum) will take advantage of his photographic, organizing and documenting skills.

So thanks Joe!!  You are conscientious and way ahead of the curve.

Scott Hogan '65
