I'm Becky (Rebecca) Powers. I attended Verdun American High
School in 1964-65 as a member
of the seventh and eighth grade classes. I'm interested in
locating some long lost friends; in
particular, Karen Trevits and Frank Brewster. I would
love hearing from anyone who attended
during that time period.
Please add me to your mail list. |

| Hello, |
|
My name is George Garriott. I didn't attend Verdun High
like most of you. I was born in Verdun in 59. My
father was in the Air Force
then. But, when the US forces were ordered to leave France, I remained there
after my
father retired and decided to work for the US Embassy in Paris. We were stationed at
Laon-Couvron Air force base. |
|
I returned to Verdun in 73 to attend a French lycee there
before moving on. I resided in France until my
20th birthday, then I joined the US
Army. My parents just recently passed away but I have been going
to France a lot
more than expected in the last 6 months. I am due to return to France this Labor Day.
I
visited what used to be the location of the US Hospital and High School. Both were torn
down
during the 70's to make room for other purposes. Sorry for my
"blabla." It feels good to be able to
communicate with those that shared a
similar life. You feel privileged with such an experience but
yet abandoned. |
