July 2007

I would first like to say thank you to all of you who have made donations in order to make sure the web site continues in existence. I also want to thank those of you who have sent in pictures for the web site.

Years I attended San Tome Staff School: 1964-1966; 1969-1973. I finished the 7th grade in San Tome, but we moved back to the U.S. after that.

My old e-mail address was post2045@AOL.com. Please change to: charlie.bowman@ci.austin.tx.us.

I plan to attend the Venezuela reunion in Austin in July, 2007. I hope to see you there.

HOLA TERRY, COMO SE VA?

I was just browsing your website, checked bad email addresses and bingo there was my name!!! Well I can't have that, I'm still bad but not in that way!! hehehehe I think all of us VENEZUELA OILBRATS still have some devilishness in us, we couldn't let all those years of practice go to waste now could we????????

NEW EMAIL ADDRESS: tropicrose@webtv.net

If you will notice, I have included my brother's name to my email address---We lived on Lecheria Beach from 1948 -- 1949, then to the Mene Grande - Vengref Campo at Puerto La Cruz from 1949 - 1955. Then on to Amuay (Adaro-Judibana campos) 1955 -1960. Then back to the States - Miami

My brother Mike was killed in a hunting accident here in Florida, December 27th, 1980. I included his name as my love for him , and as a way of letting anyone who knew or remembers him to please email me and share memories of him or my parents, all the wonderful years we KIDS shared in Paradise.

My parents JOE & FRANCES VIERA have both passed away!! My Daddy 9-10-2001 in Caracas, and My Mom 01-09-2006 here in Florida.

Hope you had a terrific 4th of July, God's blessings to you and your family. Thanks for the great work here in memory of Craig, it just keeps getting better!

Live, Love, and Laugh Often,
For Life Is Truly Amazing!
Blessings and Love, Penny
