Hello, my name is Daniel (Nick: Xarlie), and I'm an airsoft player, from the team IV Brigada Celer (www.clanivbc.mforos.com).
The High School and another buildings, stills being there, in ruins, but there they are. Me and many airsofters think many times what
was the appear of those buildings many years ago, and what were their real function. We go there to practice Airsoft all weekends,
that's why I'm interested in know the past of those buildings. So, Can you send all pictures you have from when those buildings
were active? I'll be very pleased if you make me that favour, nobody knows the real story and it's very difficult to find information
about it. Beforehand, thanks so much.
Greetings

Hi
My name is Mary Munro, now Mary Munro Salvador. We were in Sevilla '65-'67 ( or close to those years). I found this message board while trying to find Santa Clara on Google Earth....it is still there I gather. I was only in High school for a few weeks before we had to go stateside. I went to the High School as
an 8th grader tho.
My best friend was Pat Lee. Anybody know where she is? I remember Anita Swan, Dawn Dingledein too,
I knew she had cancer and didn't live long after we left. I am going to have to jog my memory.
...Mary Hampton and her brother Pete....
How I loved Sevilla! Teen Town, the pipa man, walking to Sevilla from Santa Clara, watching the apartments
being built for 3 years and not being finished when we left......LOL My brothers playing baseball, the girl scouts,
trips to Granada and every where else in Spain, my father being a boy scout leader, everything about living
there was wonderful! Well, except for the gypsies stealing our clothes...LOL

This is a message to the class of 65 that has not signed up to come to San Antonio.

I would love to see you there. I have a "trump card" and I'm going to use it ( sympathy card)!! Last August I had a stroke and had to learn how to walk again while I was in rehab for a little over a month. So if I can go through all this you can at least come to see me at San Antonio, I would love to see you all again!! Unfortunatly for you I still have an amazing ability to talk !! Especially you: Chuck Vail, Mike Carlisle, Jack Rusczyzk, Alfonso Garza. Hope to see you all very soon!!

I have so many fond memories of Spain. I’d like to be able to piece those memories together with the people I knew and the places themselves - - in anticipation of one day returning. I lived in Seville, Spain (Santa Clara) from ’65 to ~early ’68 (6 to 9 year-old Air Force brat). I believe we lived at E-13 Santa Clara. If you or anyone you are in contact with has a Google earth link to where Santa Clara is located, I’d be most thankful.

Regards,
Jim Carpenter

To all those air force brats that are listed as planning to attend but are not yet registered, quit procrastinating. Time is running out. This past year has been a time of tremendous change both good and bad for me...the bad. My oldest son, Russell, passed away last Mother's day from liver and kidney failure as a complication of Hepetitis C which he got from a transfusion as a teenager...a mother should never have to bury her child. Actually, we did not bury him...he was cremated according to his wishes and his ashes were scattered on the ocean off of diamond head in Honolulu...a beautiful ending to a precious life... the good, I have two other children, one in Hawaii and one in Michigan. Russ lived with me in Mississippi and after he went to be with the Lord, it was a no brainer deciding which child I wanted to live closest to..So I have moved to Hawaii and it is so beautiful....am still working too hard...I still own my bail business in Mississippi and am now helping my son with his bail business in Hawaii and am contemplating expanding to Alabama and Tennessee....am looking forward to a break from it all and looking forward to seeing you all in San Antonio, so get those registrations in.....

OK, everyone. I've made all my reservations, have you? Bill and I are arriving on Tuesday, May 27 and will be visiting some friends in the area for a couple of days.
Our hope is that, since we'll be there before he leaves, we want to visit with JERRY BALL, if that's at all possible. We're not leaving until Monday, June 2.

Can't wait to see you all.
Love, Mary

We arrived to Sevilla in 1966. Felix and I attended only one year of school at the High School, 1970. I was just recalling some of the events at the school with some friends just a few days ago. In particular the food fights at the cafeteria, Felix caught hell for that. We were sent back state side but returned to Spain for my final two years of high school. 1972-1973, while my parents and other sibs were in Moron de la Frontera, Felix, Alex and I were in Zaragoza as a dormies and then in Madrid, 1973-1975, when dad got transferred there from Moron de la Frontera. Felix died in 1990 from complications of AIDS. Alex retired from USAF and settled in FL and I retired from USN and settled in WA. Since graduating from HS is running into friends from HS in some of the most unexpected places has been a grounding and wonderful experience. Hearing a foul language saying in Spanish, in a book store at a community college in VA and turning to find a fellow student from Zaragoza, walking on the beach in Virginia Beach and being picked up and given a bear hug by a fellow student from Zaragoza, feeling that I was getting stalked in a grocery store in Seattle and finding out it was a class mate from Madrid, getting a call out of the blue at home from Texas and talking to a class mate from Madrid. These are great experiences and I hope to have more of those in the future.

I have emailed Elaine that I'm finally going to make one of your reunions.... thank you and all the others who have painstakingly
put together the list of Air Force Brats who attended Sevilla High School.

I'm very excited and can't wait to see everyone again... the class of 64 will be represented by one of the "Pink" girls...., however,
sister "Mike" (Carole) has health issues and will not be attending. I will either bring the old pictures I still have in an album or scan
them and bring electronically to show everyone. Some of the people I've been able to pinpoint, but others not so...

I went back to Sevilla 2 years ago for a vacation in May and the weather was in the low 100's.... was too hot to travel around much,
so stayed in the center of town near the bullfight ring and took short walks to old haunts. Did find many familiar sites, but didn't go to
out old housing as I was afraid it would be greatly changed.... kinda wanted to remember it like it was in my teenage years....

Looking forward to being there with all of you... Please email in advance if you wish to talk over old experiences before we see one
another in San Antonio.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in Cocoa Beach, Florida.

My mother-in-law found a Sevilla High School ring many years ago, at the beach. It is a large gentlemans ring, 10k yellow gold with a yellow/orange stone with the Sevilla High School motto and year 1969. Inside the ring are the initials A.W.B . I would love to locate the owner and return it to him or his family.

Cocoa Beach is close to Patrick Air Force Base and the Kennedy Space Center.

I hope you can help me locate the owner of this ring.
Thank you.

Merry Christmas from Susan Hinson Susan Hinson


Hi there - wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and let you know that I have just spent way
too much time at the SHS Website! I enjoyed reading all the emails, looking at the pictures and
hearing of the updates, etc.

I live in Dallas, Texas and would love to hear from any of the SHS. Life is good in Big D, so if you're
"in the neighborhood" give me a call!

Druci, I noticed that the web address for my Juice Plus business was not working and wondered if you
could add it? It is www.gracewrks.com. It's great product to keep you healthy (17 fruits and vegetables
and 2 grains in a capsule).

Also, wanted to add that my Dad passed away April 5, 2004. He was a wonderful Dad and I miss him
a lot. My mom still lives in Austin, Texas and is 86 years old now! She's doing very well.

I hope to see everyone in San Antonio in 2008!

Ahhh, those were the days. Prom 1965.........where else can you see crepe paper curtains?

Glad you asked, but I can't remember. Maybe someone out there knows.
She wasn't my date. I think we were getting some superlative or something. I know I had

I’m guilty! I’ve read most/all of the emails posted and I’ve just bypassed commenting. Now I feel like unloading (so to speak).

Mike Bishop was a friend in the early 60’s. I saw him again in the early/mid 90’s and sat at his kitchen table with Jerri and talked
of “old times”. Now he’s suffered the ultimate loss-a child passing before him. We all feel his loss as if it was one of our own.
I refrained from commenting at the time since his pain must have been enormous. Now I’ll say “we love you Mike” stay strong
(as I know you are).

Ruthie Flowers and I danced a number of dances at the last reunion. My wife commented at that time how wonderful a person she was.
We’ll miss Ruthie. She certainly was outside the mould and a breath of fresh air. God bless.

Ray Chase was the best thing that ever happened to us all. Thanks Pat, for keeping him “sane”????? we ALL owe you both a
debt that can never be repaid.

There are others that we’ve known that have gone before us, and there will be more. Remember them.

For those that remember my sister Patricia, she is still living in ESPANA and has a small jewelry shop in Fuengirola. If you’re
headed that way, please email me and I’ll give you her number. She’d love to hear from you! (oh. BTW. She’s now a Spanish Citizen!)

Keep the faith-keep the memories and VIVA ESPANA.

With love,

My grandson Larry Jewett, has left Colorado this pm (11-2-07) and is on his way to Bagdad, Iraq for 15 months. I'm asking my friends and family to please keep him and his 75 troops in prayer daily. Pray God's protection over them all. He is a 2 Lt. and this his first tour of duty over there. I 'll send his address later if any one would like to send Christmas cards to him and his troops.

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Alvaro Palma. I´m originally from Seville and I grown up in what is today Santa Clara neighborhood,
which you once knew as San Pablo.Since I was a young kind I was deeply fascinated by the fact that the same streets
that I walked every day where populated by american soldiers and their families. I always wonder how would be the
live for the families in such a different country back at that time. When I grown up I enjoyed looking at the different houses
and try to imagine the live in my neighborhood as an American enclave. Little vestiges areleft from that time, a part from
the houses and a tiled wall map at what I reckon was once the entrance to the complex (still showing the original
distribution the street and now sadly under the threat of graffities).

The desire to know more made me to start to research in the Internet and your website is one the only two sites that I found
with relevant information (the other one being http://www.3973cds.com/3973cdshome.htm), but with very few pictures of
San Pablo back then. I wanted to contact you in order to know if you could let me know where i could find more information
and pictures of the area when it was part of the American base. Do you have more pictures? Do you know of someone with
more pictures?

Thanks and best regards,
Alvaro Palma

From Sheila Stryker:

I'm Sheila Stryker. I was at SHS from '62-'65 From 9th-11th grade. I knew lots of students because I had a sister Kathi, Senior '62 and a younger brother Randy Stryker 7th - 9th. We are all still alive and in good health. I was sad to hear about Mike Bishop's son and Mr. Chase. I remember that Mr. Chase would read to our freshman class. He loved Science Fiction. For those of you in Northern California looking for classmates, Margaret Shealy lives in the Napa area. I haven't asked her if I can share her address. She doesn't have e-mail. Ruthie Flowers was a good friend of mine way back then. Thank you for letting me know of her passing. I appreciate it. My mom & dad ran the hot dog stand at the ball dimond and the coke stand at football games. They are also still alive and kicking. In fact, Kathi & I are working on getting my dad's 90th birthday party together.

Class of '80
Class of 1980
In 1970 my dad was on TDY in Thailand (Urdon AFB), so my mom, my sisters, my brother and I came to Spain for that year. (My mother is Spanish and her parents lived in Seville so we stayed with them that year). In 1971 my father was sent to McConnell AFB (Wichita, Kansas) and we all moved there for one year.. When my father retired in 1972, we all came back to Spain. (My parents and my two sisters and my brother). And I've never gone back to the States.

I studied at Translator's School at the University of Granada, and now I translate movies and tv shows for dubbing and subtitling purposes. I also teach translation techniques at the University of Sevilla and at CEADE (a private college associated to the University of Wales). My dad passed away eight years ago. And my two sisters, my brother and my mother also live in Seville. I married a Sevillana 21 years ago, and I have three daughters. (Lola -18, Ángela-16 and Isabel-15)

I attended Santa Clara School in 1970 (2nd Grade). All I remember about this year at Santa Clara is that my teacher was Kenneth McGraw. Back then everyone called me "Chico", which is quite funny because I began to grow and now I'm 6.5 feet tall! I have attached a class photograph of that year. (I am the tall kid with glasses next to the flag)

Hello Toros.
My name is Michael Bowers and I lived across the street from Teen Town and the elementary school in Santa Clara from 65-68. I attended the elementary school the second half of the third grade. I was too tall for the elementary school desks so they got me a desk from the base. I remember my first Spanish teacher’s name was Senorita Hinojosa. The next year I went to school in the old barracks on base. I have so many memories of Spain and would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.

I remember my first male teacher Mr. Lynch in the fifth grade. He told us he had a library of Playboy magazines in his bathroom at home. I also remember Miss Calhoun. She drove a convertible sports car (I think it was a Triumph) and wore a big orange floppy hat with a sun visor built into the front. Does anyone remember playing four square or socco at recess?

A few of the people I remember were Debby Mungion (my first girlfriend), Debbie Spencer (became my girlfriend when Debby M. moved), Vince Santana, Steven Viets, Linda Coffman (another girlfriend, who baked me a cake), Gordon Dunlap, Steve Tubman, Michele Brown, Geraldine Laymen (my last girlfriend in the sixth grade). I had a girlfriend a few years older than I was who asked me to the Sade Hawkins dance. I don’t remember her real name but her nickname was Herman. I was good friends with John Hurt whose father taught at the high school, had a beard, and drove a Volvo station wagon. I used to spend weekends at their villa, swimming in their pool and singing folk songs while Mr. Hurt played the ukulele. Sometimes we would sleep on a float in the pool at night.

I remember the Pipa man who walked through Santa Clara selling sunflower seeds and candy. We would also buy fresh fruit from the fruit man who drove a three wheeled vehicle with a fruit cart attached to the back. There was also an old barber who would go door to door giving haircuts. I hated getting haircuts from him because he would always cut you with his straight edged razor. I remember stealing a candy bar from the snack bar across the street from the pool on base. Even though no one found out, it bothered me for so long I swore I would never steal anything again.

During the summers, I remember taking swimming lessons, arts and crafts, hiking, and Judo.

I remember hitchhiking to the base and spending most summer days at the pool playing Hearts and Spades. We would sometimes get a ride home with my father or hitchhike back to Santa Clara.

I remember taking Square Dance lessons and Flamenco lessons and putting on a show at school.

I remember when Terry Spangler was killed by a car on the highway in front of Santa Clara and they named the baseball diamond Terry Spangler Field in his honor.

I remember no air conditioning and sleeping with our balcony doors open. Some nights the wind would blow from Stink Village down the street and the smell was really bad.

I remember when there were problems with the water supply to Santa Clara and we would have to go to the base and fill up jugs, or boil the water before we could use it. I also remember when the commissary would run out of milk and we would have to use powdered milk. Tasted horrible in cereal.

I remember going to Feria in Seville and playing arcade games and winning small bottles of liquor. Our maid stole some of the bottles so I decided to take them to school with me. They were in my lunch pail in my locker in the classroom and leaked all over the place. The teacher smelled them and took them away from me. I remember watching the go-go dancers in the club the base would set up downtown during Feria. There was a hole in the wall between the men’s and women’s bathroom and we would watch the dancers change clothes. This was really exciting for a 10 year old.

I remember the six day war in Egypt when the wives and children living on military bases around Israel were flown in to San Pablo and stayed in the vacant wing of the school. We all brought clothes and food for them since they did not have time to pack anything before fleeing.

Dear Fellow Military Brats,
I received this link from a friend from Mountain Home High School (Mountain Home AFB, Idaho - who also attended SHS at the same time I attended Madrid High School). For our senior year, we both wound up in Idaho and graduated together, both of us missing Spain! This is a greeting from your compatriots over on the Madrid High School Class of 64 website, www.mhs64.org. You are welcome to visit and view our growing site with many photos of Espana from that era.

As a fellow USAF brat and also a 68 graduate of Virginia Tech, I would like to express our sympathies and condolences to those of you who suffered horribly from the tragedy at Virginia Tech. Losing a child is the most cruel thing a parent should never have to endure. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have a much larger support group in the Military Brat community than you may realize. I'll post this sad news on our message board so any of our members whom you may know can get in contact with you.

A Message from Mike Bishop to his SHS Family

I have just discovered this site, and am stunned and gratified to find postings offering condolences for the death of our son, Christopher James (Jamie) Bishop, and for Austin Cloyd, whose parents Bryan and Renee Cloyd we met on our last trip to Blacksburg, not quite two weeks ago.

We have, however, heard from many former SHS students and/or graduates, some of whom used return addresses on their cards or letters and some of whom did not. We've tried to reply to as many of you who have written as possible, but have missed several of you, not just because of the absence of return addresses but also because our record-keeping has been less than sterling, for which failure Jeri and I hope you'll forgive us.

If you'll visit www.michaelbishop-writer.com , though, you'll find a message that (if you haven't already seen it posted elsewhere) will provide a little background on our current situation (and that, I believe, of many other families of the victims of the April 16 shootings) and also on our son Jamie. It's a mini-obituary and a brief tribute to several of Jamie's talents. We all miss him ferociously. Again, thank you for your expressions of sympathy. They mean a good deal.

Howdy,

My name is Matt Szetela. I found your e-mail address on the Sevilla HS link. My family was in Sevilla June 59 - June 62. I attended the 7th grade at the "NEW" high school there in Santa Clara, before we returned to the States.

Having examined most of the web-site, I notice there are not too many photographs. Some of the ones my family has were misplaced or destroyed. I did however, just recently discovered "Google Earth". Examining closely the images, I have detemined that not only does Santa Clara still exist, it has been upgraded somewhat. The house my family resided in is apparently still there, as is the high school. (I don't know if it is still a school or not).

The buildings at San Pablo also are still standing. It appears that the landowner has ploughed up the fields, but has kept the buildngs. Maybe he thinks the USAF is coming back.

Needless to say, I desire to be a part of the Sevillanos that are still around. I have many fond memories that I could also share.

Matt Szetela

Greetings to all alumni of Sevilla High;

This is to let everyone know of a great DVD about military brats that has recently been released. My brother-in-law's family was stationed in Madrid about the same time my family was stationed at San Pablo AFB (mid 1960's). He sent me this link. After watching the trailer, I had to pass it on to the SHS website. It's an interesting perspective on what it's like to grow up in the military. Brought back a lot of memories.

Enjoy!

I had the wonderful opportunity to go back to K.C. this summer for an Art workshop. It was just as wonderful then also. I got to go to the Art Institute and study architectural rendering in Manhattan Kansas.

Hope all is well with you and that you have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Hola!

I just found out about the site and am soo excited. Thanks to all who have done such a great job! Oh, how I wish I had heard about it a few years sooner as I live in the Houston area now and would have loved to attend any of the Texas reunions had I known about them. I lived in Santa Clara on the very back street (Unit G4-A) just down from the elementary school from 1965 to Jan., 1969. My best friend, Debbie Gest, lived two doors down and my boyfriend, David Flores lived across the back field (where we played baseball). I had another friend, named Sandra Delahoussaye (sp) (who was planning to go to Rice Univ.) that lived at the far end of the back field and I remember Bill Cosby (yes, THE Bill Cosby) was a friend of her family and I was invited to her house and ate supper when he was visiting one time. I remember Pep Squad, being on Drill Team, and loving Archery in GAA. I remember the annual fall Powder Puff football game. I lived at the pool from opening day to closing and loved to hang around and help out the lifeguards. Those were the days of One and a Halfs, Cutaways and Backflips off the low board and attempts to master a high board Two and a Half. Those were the days of NO FEAR! I remember: Danny Trevino was a great kisser and David Flores was a great dancer; all the bus trips to Rota and Malaga and Madrid and sitting in the back of the bus singing Love Potion # 9, the classic 100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall; and all those other great songs! I remember being secretary at business meetings at Teen Town, skating out back and sneaking my first smoke with my older brother at the La Guardia shack behind the school. I remember (accidentally) running into the Beatles on the beach when my family vacationed at Torremollinos (sp) the summer of ’66. What luck!! I remember all this and so much more. I remember Mr. LaCarsel for Spanish, Ms.Traylor for Home Ec., Mr. Orolin for Math, and one older woman teacher (for English?) who never wore stockings and had scratches all over her legs. Someone said she had lots of cats?! I remember going horse back riding with Rachel (?), who had her own horse at the stables in Moron. I remember Rozalyn (sp) teaching me the Motown dances and singing all those Motown hits! Anybody ever hear from her? When I find my yearbook, I’m sure I’ll remember much more. I would love to hear from anyone who would like to share memories from ’65 to ’69.

This is to update everyone on things happening in my life

.
In June 2004, I moved back to Lake Charles, LA to help out my mother and brother since their health wasnt good. Mother (Fern Drury) and I attended the 2004 Reunion in Dallas. In fact she opened the dance with the first dance. I'm sad to tell you that Mom passed away Dec. 1, 2004, she had a stoke and was in the hospital for 5 weeks before she passed away. Then my brother (Raymond Kay) also passed away on July 24, 2005. He had been sick for quite some time and he took it hard when mother passed, and just went down hill. He had donated his body to science and his body was in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit last year and I had quite a time getting all his paperwork completed for his death certificate. I also had to evacuate Lake Charles when Hurricane Rita hit our area a month latter. I think things are finally getting back to normal around here, but it is quite lonely here with both Mom & Ray gone. I was planning on going to Las Vegas for the reunion, but things have come up and I will not be able to attend, maybe next time.

Update On My Crazy Life....

To all of my former classmates and friends...it is amazing where life takes you. Instead of slowing down as I age, my life is increasing in speed and events. I own a bail bonding business in Mississippi as well as am the director of a ministry to the homeless and am both a cancer survivor and a hurricane Katrina survivor. MY home has been restored and we are still working on the office building which is gutted down to the studs. I have three children and my middle child is Tim "Youngblood" Chapman on the television show "Dog The Bounty Hunter" that appears on A & E. I thought I might get to retire by this time but I guess not. Being a military brat and traveling all over the world definitely helped to prepare me for this hectic life I lead. Would love to hear from some of my old classmates/friends.

Memories of Spain


I did not atttend Sevilla High School, and you do not know me, but this web site was so very helpful in locating some of the people I knew when I was in Spain. I was in the Air Force, stationed at Moron in 1962-1963. Some of the students were members of the Moron Rodeo Club, and I got to know some of them. I recently decided to try to track some of them down. I got lucky, after hearing that Sevilla High School had a reunion, and I found your site. I too have many great memories of my time in Spain. Thanks for maintaining a great site, it has helped me very much.
Thanks again

Zaragoza HS - (by Theresa Almond Welch, Class of 82)


Zaragoza HS Yearbooks (by Dan Hess, Class of 78)

My Dad was stationed from 75-77 at Moron Air Base (until they
closed it down to "care-taker" status at which time he was moved to
Zaragoza Air Base.) The whole time I attended Zaragoza High School
(as a dormie until my family moved up there.) I believe some of the early
yearbooks from 58-64 era that I've posted are from when school was
associated with and located in Sevilla.
