I have taken the coveted journey back to Korea!!   The trip was for work  …Does life get better than this?? A free trip back to one of my many “homes”….but I had a few days off to visit the old stomping grounds. 

 

What an emotional rollercoaster....Finally the day arrived and I boarded the plane with a smile from ear to ear. On the long flight over I thought about the good old days and yes I had tears of joy and sadness!  (That was way to much free time for my mind to wander!! )

 

Overall, I came to the conclusion for all of the sacrifices of being at a remote post (Cp Humphreys) the long bus rides, the lack of American food and culture, public bathrooms that were holes in the ground and cooking on two hotplates and a microwave the entire tour (we didn't have base housing)  was worth experiencing.... Korea made me who I am today….amazing how one word change in your Dad’s orders (from Panama to Korea) can change your entire destiny!!!!

2007-2008 SAHS staff

Assistant Principal Kathleen Stander, Lead Secretary Carolyn Chisholm and Principal Robert Sennett

 

I would like to thank the staff especially Kathleen Stander the Assistant Principal at SAHS for allowing me to fulfill one of my life goals. 

 

Visiting SAHS 18 years after I graduated was an amazing experience!  I can’t believe how little has changed.  I felt like I should be on my way to my next class (wait forgot my locker combo…guess I will be late again!!)

 I have been blessed with an opportunity to visit Korea on business the next two years. 

The visits will be short but I will try to schedule all of my free time to take alot of pictures of our childhood home! 

Due to the large amount of pics I have to create subdomains... just click on the photos on this page and you will be taken to more pics of that group!
