Feb. 21, 2001. Hola Todos! Just want to give a brief update on the Andresen-Stoddard get together. For those of you with foggy memories or "old-timers" disease, I'm Pam Andresen (now Simpson) and went to ASG from 1966-71, when I graduated. My very best friend in 1966-68 was Debbie Stoddard. We were in 7th & 8th grade together. Deb & I lost contact with each other after the Christmas of 1970. Thanks to this fabulous website, many re-connected friendships and Classmates.com we found each other last fall. After many hours on the phone we finally crossed paths. I spent last weekend, Feb 15-18 at her house in Montrose, CO. We have each aged some (after 32 years) and put on a pound here & there (me more than her) but deep inside we were the same crazee girls. We had so much fun going through yearbooks, reading all the messages and just reminiscing about our years in Guad. We decided we weren't as bad as we thought - just 2 girls growing up. We definitly want a BIG reunion with ALL of you. Laurie, Juanita and the Stirling crew have done a fantastic job reuniting all of us. Let's keep the spirit going. Since the attack of Sept 11th we can appreciate how precious and short a human life really is. Let's not let, what was probably the most important times of our lives, fade away with age. We have to keep the memories alive! Anyway, it was great getting back with Debbie. I know seeing the rest of you will be equally as rewarding. (I have to also let you know that Candi Lesh & I tried to get together in Jan. in Wichita, KS but an ice storm kept us apart). John Rhodes also contacted me right before I left and sent me his self-published book on poetry. It was wonderful!! Let's not let ice, old age or anything else keep us apart any longer.
God bless you all- Pam Andresen Simpson

I was at the school as an exchange student from Virginia in Jan - Mar 1991. I was a senior and played on the basketball team. I had the best time of my life living there with Mauricio Caccia and Paula Riestra. I miss all of the friends I made there. I think about my time there all the time. I would love to hear from any of the people I met while I was there. I have many fond memories of Lake Chapala, the talent contest, and Bar Zelona. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Hi all, I came across the web site the other day, great job. The memories are flooding back. I was a student teacher first, then a regular faculty member from 1970-75. I have to say that the experience of living and working in Guadalajara was one of the happiest times of my life. All the students, class trips, Tapa-teatro, etc. Keep up the good work on the site.

Hi, I put my maiden name....its McBride. I was the oldest of 4 who attended the American School. My sister Kelly, my brother Gary and my sister Monica. My dad was a medical student. I left after my 7th grade year, but we all have such good memories of our time there. We were there from 1966 to 1971. I graduated in 1976. My mom would take us to school in our big camper and the "Kodak" bus would follow us yelling Mamut....does anyone remember that! I would love to find Kathy Watson, and a lot of the Kodak kids that we were friends with. We once won the Halloween contest as the "Pumkin Patch." My mom put real pumkins on our heads and we had vines hanging all over us! My sister once won when she was painted all green. Does anyone remember that?! Well it would be fun to hear from anyone who was in school with me during that time!

Kathleen Mulligan and Mark Judge taught at ASG in
196/87. We were neophyte teachers straight out of
university and just married. I taught English, Mark
taught Phys Ed and Health. We have tons of fond
memories of that year. In particular I remember a
great grade 9 English class with a girl named Azalea. We
would love to hear from Joan or Newton or Martha or the
other teachers we spent so much time with. Remember that
trip when they stole our rental car! We live in NZ
now and have been for 11 years. Have one child and
both teach at a girls school, me music, Mark is a
permanent reliever. Good life. Cheers K and M

Hi Everyone! Wow, this is so neat! I
went to the American School from 1970-1974...(I'm in the
class of 1978) Most of you remember me as Leslie Michels'
little sister....well, I'm taller than her now!! We
moved to La Jolla, CA in 1974 and I've been in San Diego
ever since! I am now 39, engaged to be married in
August, and work for an advertising agency downtown as
National Sales Director. Still spending a lot of
time with my music as well....re-visiting my singing
career on the side which I spent a great deal of time
with in the 80's (jazz). So, life is GREAT. I
hear a rumor of a reunion in October... I gotta figure
out how to make it .... I welcome anyone's notes who feel
like writing to me! Guadalajara is something that I
always tell people about...it is the best thing my
parent's EVER did for my sister and I. I still
speak Spanish any chance I get. I saw a few Guad
friends recently here in SD, and it was a deja vu....I
was transported back to that 14 year old for a few magic
moments with these people. Probably the coolest
time of my entire life...look forward to hearing from you

Hey Bruce - the American School was closed during
Thanksgiving week, remember they are gringos
there!! Ryan got to see your old heart throb
Marcela's house on Marsella!!! And we adventured to
San Juan de Dios, of course where they all wanted to be
on the "Taiwan de Dios" floor, where all the
contraband and illegal software etc. are sold!
Guess huaraches and leather belts are not " in"
any more!! Both Ryan and Arian loved Guadalajara - got to
go bars at 16! and thought that the tapatias were the
most beautiful women they had seen!!! Viva
Mexico! Hey, are you guys going to come to the
reunion they are planning at the American School for ex-
alumni on Oct 26th 2000? Let me know!

| Comments: My very first
memory of life was in this school
(pre-kindergarten), with my older sister,
Christie. I remember how she pulled a chair
out for me and told me to sit on it - just like
the teacher had told all the other students to
do. That's probably the only nice thing she
did for me in all of my twenty-one years,
anyway. Kudos to this school for providing
me with a nice flashback! |

| Comments: CLASS OF 90,
WHERE ARE YOU??? You'd think us young whipper-
snappers would be a little more "with
it" on this web site! Hi, I'm Julie
Bloem, and I spent my senior year in ASFG in
1990. It was an AMAZING year -- I know I
got myself grounded for at least half of it! But
my parents love Guad and have never left, so I go
back as often as possible. I now live in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area and was crushed to
find out I missed the San Antonio reunion in
February! I sort of assumed I would never
see my classmates again (we were never very
organized!) but after seeing what y'all have
accomplished, perhaps there's hope for a 10-year
reunion after all. We had a
"mini-reunion" with a few ASFG friends
last summer...coincidentally, also in San
Antonio. My brother John, Marco and Julio
"House" Galvan, and Marcy and Monica (I
forget you crazy girls' last names!) had a RIOT
watching old videos and pictures of us...then we
called up Andy Zuniga in Kansas at 3am and
totally tripped him out! "Hey Andy,
guess who this is???" Anyway, I'll be
returning here often, so anyone from 1989-1994
who wants to get back in touch, email me! |

site! Although I feel as though my
generation of ASG graduates hasn't caught on to
the technological age. I graduated in '86,
and I haven't seen many of my old classmates
listed. I'd hate to think that we were that
slow, although I can think of a couple of faculty
that thought so. I think of my old
classmates often, and wonder where they
are. Even teachers, who I swore I didn't
care about, enter into my thoughts -
fondly! Those days shooting hoops with Mark
Argenziano after school, living next to Newton
McCurdy, dating Marcela Ellerbrock, bugging Ms.
Basom and Mr. Conrad, having a blast in Mrs.
Rhen's "Great Books" class. Wow,
so many great memories, tugs at the strings of my
heart to think about them so vividly. Pics
of the school look great! |

I'm no alumni though. As a matter a fact,
there is not much I do remember about the school
itself, except it is the place where I got my
first crush on a girl. Violeta was her
name, and we were in pre-kindergarden together
for a year and a half until I moved back to the
states. There's not many things I remember
about being five years old. However, I will
always remember The American School and
Violeta. I wonder what she's up to
now. Well I thought I'd share that with
you. Say hello to Mexico for me. Jeff

| Comments: Hey
everyone...I just saw the documentary that was
made regarding the San Patricio soldiers from
Ireland that fought with Mexico during the
Mexican American war. I saw it at a special
showing at the American School in Guadalajara. It
was excellent. The English teacher, Michael
Hogan, wrote two books on the subject and now
they have made a documentary that will be shown
on PBS on March 17th. You really should watch
it...it will help with the understanding of why
some Mexicans says that the Americans
"stole" half of Mexico. It is really
good and the idea that the American School and
its teacher have their input is wonderful!! Check
it out!! The following is an excerpt that I got
off the Internet that gives you an idea of what
it is all about. I had never heard of these guys
til I met Michael!! Someone let Fineburg know!!
THE IRISH SOLDIERS OF MEXICO** by Michael Hogan
(Guadalajara, Mexico: Fondo Editorial
Universitario, 1997) Reviewed by James Fogarty*
Every since the end of the U.S.-Mexican War
(1846-48) U.S. historians have taken pains to
dismiss the Irish soldiers of the San Patricio
Battalion as a bizarre group of malcontents and
ne'er-do-wells who deserted from the U.S. Army,
lured by drink, pretty senoritas and/or promises
of generous rewards from Mexican officials.
Thanks to the scholarly research of Michael Hogan
in his new book, ital The Irish Soldiers of
Mexicoital, there is a much more balanced and
objective analysis of the San Patricio
phenomenon. Hogan, a history professor at the
American School in Guadalajra, Mexico, puts to
rest the above stereotypes and proves
conclusively that the San Patricos were, in fact,
one of the most disciplined, courageous and
effective units in the war. Hogan also debunks
the myth that the battalion was made up
exclusively of deserters from the U.S. Army and
points out that the known deserters represented
only about a third of the total membership, while
the majority were in fact European or Mexican
citizens, and not citizens of the United States.
Of the 120 known members, 40 were born in Ireland
and 18 others, born in the U.S., Canada, or Great
Britain, had Irish surnames. Hogan also shows
that the San Patricios felt comfortable using the
rituals and symbolism of Catholicism as expressed
in Mexico, and were willing to fight to the death
for what was obviously the losing side. The San
Patricios also had Irishmen in key leadership
positions and they carried a banner on which was
inscribed Erin go Braugh (sic), along with an
image of St. Patrick and the harp of Erin.
Religion was a major issue in the conflict which
has been ignored or glossed over by many
historians. Hogan writes about how the invading
U.S. Army deliberately bombarded Catholic
cathedrals, churches and convents in Mexico; and
U.S. soldiers often brutally interrupted Masses,
processions and other religious services. Hogan
quotes a Mexican newspaper which condemned the
"savage outrages" to which the
condemned San Patricios were subjected to by U.S.
Army officials: "Mexicans, these are the men
that call us barbarians and tell us that they
have come to civilize us. These men who have
sacked our homes, taken our daughters, camped in
our holy burial places, covered themselves in
blasphemous uproar with the ornaments of our
altars--and have gotten drunk from our sacred
chalices." As for the formation of the
battalion, Hogan suggests that the decision to
join the Mexican side was probably due more to
impulse and emotion like many of Ireland's
rebellions, including the Easter Uprising of
1916. "Nevertheless," he concludes that
the courage of the San Patricios, their sense of
loyalty to their new cause and their continuous
allegiance to Mexico even after whippings,
brandings and imprisonment, forged an indelible
seal of honor on their sacrifice." Finally,
Hogan reminds us of the affinity that existed,
and continues to exist, between the Irish and the
Mexicans due to a shared historical experience of
struggle to preserve their unique identities,
despite repeated and sometimes brutal attempts by
their more powerful neighbors to destroy that
identity. * James "Jaime" O'Fogarty is
a retired Roman Catholic priest from Co.
Tipperary, Ireland who was the first president of
the Irish Society of Mexico. He lives in Mexico
City. |

recognized Bruce and Scot in the video!! I
believe that Alan should run for something as he
has the gift of the gab and so does Laurie!!
Bruce on the other hand handed over that mike
like it was a hot churro... Is my brother the
best or WHAT!!?? Anyway...everyone here in Gdl.
got soooo jazzed by the reunion that they want to
have it here next time...We figured you can get a
LOT more pachanga for your money in Gdl...so they
are already thinking of how to pull it together
here next time...you know...Mariachis, trios,
discos, restaurants, Gemma y lonches...trips to
jump in Minerva, San Juan de Dios....tours of the
school...etc. etc. So....keep that in mind!!
Someone mentioned that they were a bit concerned
about security in Gdl. and everyone wanted them
to know that even though we are almost 6 million
people that it is still "our
Guadalajara"...you walk down Chapultepec and
you feel like you never left!! So, hey!! keep it
in mind and start thinking of dates!! There will
be THAT many more if it is done here....think of
all the prepa and comercio kids that would like
to go!! Bueno, saludos...and congrats to all...I
will go chew some purple gum that tastes like

Thank-yous to you all who worked so hard on our

more time to sit and talk and catch up with the
26 years. It really helped close- and now reopen
- but close a chapter in my nomadic life. 20
years in San Diego area is not nomadic -but this
was at my choice. We Californians are going to
get together and start an annual something.
please put me on your c.c. list. Love to you all.

just contacted the Colony Reporter and told them
to do an article about the reunion and am in the
process of getting a little info together. I will
let you know about the article... I dont think
that I will be able to go - mucho trabajo!! But I
am there in spirit and if you have any questions
about Guadalajara that you need updated let me
know!!! The weather is beautiful and the city is
great. They have just built a HUGE new shopping
mall called MAGNO CENTRO - it is on VALLARTA
about four blocks down (toward the Mercado to you
guys, not towards Minerva)from the ARCOS (Bings
on Minerva, remember) - it has a Hard Rock Cafe,
Chilis, and will have a big old movie complex!!
Yahoooooo!!! It is THE place to be right now,
typical tapatios are all checking it out to say
they have been there, done that!!! Bueno, got to
go...Besos y suerte!! Mercy |

know where Jill Yeolman (sp?) went? Scot and I
talked recently, and we both agreed Jill would be
nice to see at the reunion. Hello, Natha Booth! I
remember you, and would love to see you at the
reunion. Hope your daughter wasn't hurt when you
threw her out of the chair! I think I talked Scot
into coming, too. I laid a heavy guilt trip on
him. See you all soon. Bruce |

announcement concerning the reunion in San
Antonio today and I could hardly believe my
eyes!!!!!! I practically threw my seven year old
daughter out of her chair where she was busy
drawing pictures on the computer so that I could
check out this web page!!!! I attended ASG from
1967 though 1971 at which point mt parents
dragged me kicking and screaming back to the
States. Those years were amoung the most
amazingly incredible years of my life! It was an
experience I wouldn't trade for anything in the
world! I've often wished there were some way I
could get in touch with the many friends I made
during those years, and lo and behold! You've
fulfilled my fondest dream!!!!! Does anyone know
the whereabouts of Shirley Specht, Kimberly
Heinricks (I'm sure the spelling is
questionable!, Mike Kreuger, Mrs. Manzano (the
librarian, and I think that was her name, if my
43 year old memory recalls correctly), and there
are so many more, but I'm too excited to remember
their names!!!! I'll have to get out my "La
Leyenda" yearbooks! I still have them
carefully guarded...they've travelled all over
the US!!! I'd love to hear from anyone who
remembers me!!!!! I live in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, and work as a research associate in
microbial pathogenesis. I have two children,
Canyon (8 yrs) and Callie (7 yrs). Thanks for
finding me!!! I don't know how you did it, but
I'm so glad that you did!!!! Natha Booth

phone call from Helene Schriber a couple of
nights ag reminding me that I had a past in
Guadalajara. It has been how long;
20..1.2.3.4.5.6 years and counting. Remarkably
she caught up with me as I have done my share of
moving about in the last several years. A reunion
you say? In two weeks? Sounds like a photo
opportunity I can't resist. I'll be there. Does
anyone remember me? And what exactly is it you
would be remembering? Do I really want to
know.....? I attended ASG my Junior/Senior years
of HS; graduating in '73. Looking forward to
seeing you sooner (or later. |

people sat in an office in Sunnyvale, CA
wondering how many people we could scrounge up
all over the world for a 1st ever American School
of Guadalajara Reunion. Worst case we figured 12.
Best case, we figured we could get 25. Today we
have about 60 confirmed attendees including
significant others. They are coming from as close
as a few miles away in San Antonio, and as far
away as Alaska! We have representatives from each
graduating year from 1969 through 1983 (with the
exception of 1982). The current ASG
Administrator, Robert Trent, will be there as
will at least 3 teachers. The reunion is still 3
weeks away, and it would be great if we could hit
75 attendees! Keep those cards and letters
coming, alumni! (We could use more
representatives from the classes of '71 and '72,
by the way, and you know who you are!) Catch you
February 5th! |

returned from a brief stay in San Antonio, where
we checked out the margaritas, the trios, and the
mariachis over at the Las Maragaritas restaurant.
Froze our butts off, though. After making my
selections and joining in on the singing, one
guitar player said, "si sabe!" I
couldn't help myself on "Volver,
Volver," El Rey," "Sin Ti,"
"Reloj," "No Volvere," etc.
Had a good time when I could, but I spent most of
