Paris's Story
I didn't have much time here in Okinawa before I deployed again, this time to Joint Base Balad in Iraq from Sept 2010 until April 2011 but IâÂÂm back in Okinawa now. I'm really glad to be back in what would be considered as relative luxury compared to being in Iraq. Thank you all for your visits on Classmates and for your emails. It is good to hear from so many my AMHS Classmates and it was and is appreciated. I also wanted to say thanks to Classmates.com that made this venue possible for us all to make and keep in contact with each other. Some people as me why I donâÂÂt have a Facebook account and I just tell them, I donâÂÂt necessarily want to hear from people I donâÂÂt have something in common with that why I have this Classmates account (â¦and no I donâÂÂt work for Classmates.com (Chuckle)).

In any event I am making every effort make it back to CONUS to make sure I will be able to make it to the Reunion in order to see everyone this time around; perhaps it is especially important because the 60 year Class Reunion unfortunately I donâÂÂt think is going to be that well attended if you get my drift. (Chuckle) In any event I am looking forward to our time together this coming August. Take care until then. Ciao, Paris aka âÂÂStatsâÂÂ
