My sister had a teacher named "Sister Eilish" in third grade. (I'm not very sure about the spelling)
I was there from '83-'91. I remember some teachers: Ms. Dobson, Ms. Swanson, Mrs. Faguy, Mr. Bennett, Madame Corinne. Anyone hanging around from that era please respond.

Hi Anil your name reminded me of something so I looked in my yearbook of 1987 and recognized you..We were in the same class together

Dear New(ish) researchers
Then we can come and chat. Go to your home page. Click on where it says edit, perhaps choose a name? Just write a sentence or two and then we can visit.
I am Duncan Jones' mother. His brother Gordon was in Sister Eilish's class and Ms Kwonkam's. There was one of the Phi clan in that class who used to swap him sharks fin soup for locally made doughnuts (the Jones boys were allowed to buy food from the roadside - most of you weren't)
We were there during the coup attempt. The British ambassador rescued me from the hospital and the children from where they were staying and took me back to the embassy through very amused roadblocks, as I was wearing only my nightdress.

I do know you..you were in my class

All

Hello Achim Berger (researcher 210563). Yes, you were in my class in 7 and 8 grades. Then I believe you left for Germany. Do you remember your friend Phi Long Nguyen- he's in California. Remember our math teacher Mrs. Mckain-she has two beautiful daughters now. Dr. Edwards, the principal has passed away. Did you ever return to Yaounde again. If you did, you probably have more news than I do. I stayed there till 1991 and studied a few grades through correspondence studies with Perla de Grandi and my sister. By the way my name is Sadiya.
So what are you doing now? The last I remember, you used to say that you wanted to go into computer science or some thing like that.

Yes, I remember Miss Freeman. Her parents were missionaries and had a hospital about a 3-hour drive from Yaounde. She did a lot with music. When I was there she organized the Christmas pageant with all the elementary students.

I noticed that Anil changed the name of the Yahoo group he made for us. It's now here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/americanschoolofyaounde

And this is the current e-mail address for it:

[email protected]

Yes everyone sorry about the name change. When I notified the school they wanted it to be changed to ASOY. Thats why I changed it.

By the way is everyone here enrolled? Please do so...

hi there anybody around?

People seem to have wandered off from this conversation. Actually I think we just might be waiting for someone else to say something. I know I keep checking in every few months and then sign out without saying anything.
Well, Anil I think you seem to be the most devoted one. You know I remember you but I don't know if you remember me, most likely not. I was a shy nerd in those days (not to say I am still not).
I think you used to be friends with Marceau Ratard - pardon my spelling, I might be spelling the name wrong.

I was ISOY 1976-1980 (4th to 7th grade) and have very much enjoyed reading these posts. I remember shockingly little. When I left, the principal was Rob Ambrogi. His wife Cathy Moore also taught. The "grounds" or "compound" underwent a radical transformation during the period in which I was enrolled. I recall this being gravely diappointing to us as the "bush" in which elaborate hide and seek games played out was ultimately destroyed and regraded for parking lot, or some such. I would love to hear from anyone who was around during that time-frame if only to refresh my clouded memory. Names I recall: Jorg and Rolf Kiesling, Kit Burgett, Misty Mukergee, Addison "something", Michael Forester, Olivier and Thibault de Maximy, Oliver Mueller Roemer ...

I obviously cant remember you from your nick but I really am very curious. why dont you come over to the mail group (yahoogroup) and we can have a good discussion with everyone there.

At the moment Daniel just joined Marceau is in along with Achim and Elyssa. There are also other that I do not know personnaly.

See you there

Anil
