Just a quick note to let you all know that my e-mail address has changed.  Intel decided to simplify (still looks awfully long to me).  Noticed that the Class of '85 still doesn't have a strong presence.  Wonder where Kiarash and Jimmy are? Anyone know?  Beijos e Abracos, Vikki

Wow!  I was really excited to find the EA homepage.   I attended EA from '84 until '88 (would've been class of '92).  I graduated from the University of Michigan in '96, and am now teaching preschool.  I just got married August '97 and my husband and I have just purchased our first home.  I think back to my times at EA often.   Those were the best days of my life.  My brother Christopher (Class of '97) is living in Texas with our parents, while attending college.  I would like to hear from old friends, so if you're out there, please e-mail me.  Tchau.

Hey!  First, I want to congratulate whoever created this page.  It's AWESOME !  My name is Andre S. Freitas, and I went to EARJ from 4th grade to graduation in 1995 - CLASS OF 1995!   And it was definitely one of the great periods of my life.  Right now, after a year in college in New York, I am going to Candido Mendes - Ipanema (Night Club) and working during the day at Aracruz Celulose, in the Investor Relations Department.  I am just very happy that this page was finally put together.  It was great seeing and reading from EARJ.   Let's keep up and gather more ex-students to join in, and let's show our everlasting schoolspirit.  By the way, don't you think we have to put a picture of CANECO 70 somewhere on this page ???  Valeu Galera, um abraco para todos que me conhecem !

Hi! I went to EA from 1983-1987 (elementary school).  Does anyone know how to get in touch with Amos Greene or Alexandra Silva?  My sister, Ana, would like to know if anyone knows how to contact Isabella Brewster who moved to New York in 1987.  Great web site.  Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on the site!!!  It is so nice to catch up on EA and find some long lost friends.  And it looks like I'm the first of the unforgettable 91ZC to drop a line.  Well, I have been living in Rio for the past year and a half, working for Price Waterhouse and spending much time with many other EA alums...Jô and Guilherme Sabrá, Danny Saffer, David Morse, Victor Baez, Guy Von Oettigen, Natalie Sequerra...always remembering and sharing the good times. My sister Meghan ('93) is a teacher at a pre school in Santa Barbara, and Maureen ('95) is abroad in London and will be graduating in December from Boston University.  I can't beleive it has already been 7 yrs...hey 91ZCers, we have to start looking into our 10 year reunion!!!  Hope to hear from you all and anyone else who is out there soon.  Saudades e um bejão pra todos

No offense meant, but have you ever noticed that those who criticize EA have a terrible command of the English language.  Watch out!  I made the mistake of not being adequately respectful to a few English teachers-and BAM! I am one.  Be careful what you complain about, and at least do it with proper English or Portuguese.  Abracos e beijos-Ruthie

I reviewed the "reunion" page this morning and was a little embarrassed to realize a lot of photos were of relatives!  Sorry about that.  I must have been caught up in the moment.  The situation will be corrected.  I need to make room for another IRQ on my computer to run my video capture card.  This is also a "test" message.  It is written from another guestbook on a back page.   It should end up on the main guestbook.  Cross your fingers.

It was so exciting to find your web page -- courtesy of Dr. Brown -- and to see some familiar names. I taught (English) at EA in the 70's and have very fond memories of those years. Note to Jen Griffith Ezell -- saw your note on the "letters" page and would love to get in touch with you. What is your e-mail address?

Hey guys!!  I just came back from RIO!!!  I went there TWICE!!  Robin and I went down to drop off her daugther, Parisa, "no Norte" - Fortaleza - at the Colegio Bautista - and we had a great time matando saudades no Leblon, Barril 1800 and in Copacabana - we freaked with the cost of everything!!  HIJOLE, as we say in Mexico!!  From Arpoador to the "new" Escola Americana by taxi was going to be 60 REAIS!!  THAT IS 60 BUCKS!  When you live in Mexico and see how inexpensive everything is (most expensive taxi in Guadalajara is 2 dollars!!)   Needless to say, we choose not to matar saudades AT the school.  We looked toward Gavea and ate a kibon - de maracuja GENTE!!!  Got all kinds of musica brasileira - not only Samba but FORRO!!!  Gostei demais!!  Beijos e eu ainda adoro o Brasil e as Cariocas!!  Brasil é beleza pura!

What a treat this is!  For 20 years now (ouch) I've wished for a way to get in touch with old faces.  Count on technology.  Quick update.  Graduated '77 from EA.  Have managed to stay in touch with Susan Sybert and Nancy Huber.   Married, 2 girls, Meagan-13, Miranda-10.  A sweet life that I wouldn't change for the world.  But have to say, unless someone has been there they really can not begin to understand our love for Brasil, Rio, and EA. Thanks for this very special page!!   Would love to hear from you all.

It's been great hearing from so many people.  I just got back from a visit with Fred Mulligan ('78)--we got back in touch thanks to the Web page.  I can't believe how fast twenty years have gone by.  Does anyone know of any plans for a Class of '81 reunion?  Happy birthday (April 12) to Scott Daniels ('78).  Does anyone know where he is now?

ATTENTION ALL EA ALUMNI . . . as regular readers of this Web site know I have been busy compiling and updating the class lists so everyone can conveniently look up old friends and, if the information is available, contact them.  My sources for names and information have been strictly limited to publicly available listings.  My goal is to produce as complete a data base of people who attended EA as possible.  I've lost track of the current total but it must be over 3,000, and I know the list has many gaps still.  I am at the point where I would like to take a new direction to complete the list.  I am appealing to all alumni with yearbooks to xerox the pages containing student names by class and mail them to me so I can comb through and add the missing names to my data.  I am thinking of the 'Last Will and Testament' page for Seniors and any group class photographs with names listed.  At most, this would be 8 pages per yearbook.  Please send the copies to 4416 Southeast 4th Place, Ocala, Florida 34471 USA. Send 2-sided copies to keep postage cost down.  Please do not fax them if you know my number.  If you can scan the pages and send them via e-mail that's OK.   Please do not send info from the years '61, '62, or '63.  I will post additional years as I get them from you so there won't be a huge overlap.  Thanks for your help . . . this should be fun!  Walt Perkins '63

Luis Almeida - Class of '89 Wow!  What an excellent web page.   Congratulations to all of those that participated in creating it.  I am now living with my wife, Julie, in Miami.  I am working for a computer monitor manufacturer, ViewSonic and I have the opportunity to frequently travel to Brazil (YES!).   After graduating from Clarion University, I worked with David Morse and Victor Baez at a company called Tech Data.  I am in constant contact with Leo (deh monkey) Nobre, and I often speak with Alvaro Azevedo who is now living in London and working for Bominflot.  My brother Felipe '91 works for Fonte Cindam, an investment bank in Rio, and David (aka Batata '94) works for Solomon Smith Barney, and is always in and out of Brazil.  Recently I've been bumping in to Al Iriberri ('88) and it was he that turned me on to the EA Web Page (thank you).  Some of us from the class of '89 are planning a 1999 New Year's Eve Reunion at an incredibly beautiful farm (courtesy of Guilherme Sabra's girlfriend Karina) if you are not afraid to party with the cupula, send me an email, and we'll get you in the loop.  Best regards to all, um forte abraco and hope our paths cross again.  Luis Paulo

Hello everyone from EA!!!  Well even though I ended up getting my HS diploma from another high school, I will always feel like an EA alum.  CLASS OF '90!!    I'm back in Rio, Ipanema, selling trips to the most beautiful destination in the world, Brazil.  I work specifically with ecological tourism: Pantanal, Chapadas, Ilha Grande, Foz, Fernando de Noronha, Amazon, etc.  Phone: 55 21 512-8882 and email below.  My sister, Monica,  just moved to Sao Paulo from Phoenix.  She's at a flat in Jardins until they get settled 011 287-2288 apt. 403, if anyone can help her look for an apartment.  Her husband, Nico, is working for Citibank.  My father, William O'Day, also an alum is in Michigan.  His email address is woday@aol.com.   I've run into a few alums in past months, Isabela Nunes, David Morse, Vitor Baez.   But I've been spending most of my days with an almost alum Ronald Gibson.   I've also had the pleasure to have dinner with Mr. Ed Stanton and the Boones.   All the best to everyone, especially Kim no longer Bobb, Corina, and Hiro.  I miss our days at EA.  I'll never forget a comment by a visitor to EA, "How can get any studying done here?  This isn't a high school, it's a resort."  Um imenso abraco para todos, Alex

Oi! How is everyone? It has been a while for me.  Since graduation (1990), I have not been back to Rio, unfortunately.  So much has happened in my life these past eight years.  I miss all my friends from EA.  I still remember the good times.   My five years there were fun.  I still keep in touch with a handful of people from EA, mostly from the class of '90.  It's time to reminisce: the triple A, Big 4's, playing handball and basketball, going home tired from cheerleading practice, staying up late doing my homework, the smoking area, Cabral, the wall, staying after for play practice, hanging out with Lucy, Olga, Lari, Andy, Chuck, Patrick, Stefan, Debbie, Jessica, Luca, Andrea, and Mike (just to name a few, I haven't forgotten everyone else, there's just not enough room), playing Gamao, going to the dances, and my teachers.   I surprised myself when I became a teacher.  I am now married (Williams, no longer Kim Bobb) with two children and a third on the way.  My brother, Travis (we moved before he was able to graduate from EA - he would have been class of '96), is attending Queens College in Charlotte, North Carolina - doing well.  My older sister, Patrice (class of '87) is also married now (Minor) with a daughter.  We are all healthy and happy.  Our parents are staying busy as well - 3.5 grandchildren, who wouldn't be?  I would love to hear from old friends or anyone just interested in writing me.  Tchau! - Yes, my Portuguese is still limited.  I was always the Gringo in the class willing to speak only English. - And don't forget to Smile!!!!!!!!!

Howdy all!  Great site!  I graduated class of '80 after a brief 18 months at EA.  I remember the beauty of Rio, the warmth of the people and still love the music.   But I'll admit, I was scared of the city.  I've lost contact with all but Sheila Brown.  I've read the "morgue" of guestbook entries and recognize a few people - Hello Mary Ann, Doug, Karla, Katia, Miriam!  All the best - drop me a line to say hello! - JK.
