Maria is married to Michael and is working as a Human Resources Adviser at Scandinavian Airlines Flight Academy and she lives in Stockholm, Sweden. I gave birth to Michael's and my first baby in May 2002.

I miss: Tough one, I haven't been back in Panama after graduation (my god, it's been almost 20 years...) and after that I have been living in Malaysia, Norway, UK and now ending up in Sweden again. However, I do miss everything that I don't have up here in cold Sweden. Beaches, sunshine, salsa, San Blas, Contadora, scuba diving, surfing, hot weather, great thunderstorms, oh - the list can go on and on!

Email: patshea2008@gmail.com 

Patti has been married to Jack Shea for  15 years and they are the proud parents of Tommy age 9, and Sylvia 6. They are currently living in Hong Kong!

Last Known Sighting: About a year-and-a-half ago (maybe two?) I ran into Maritza Estenoz (Ascorbe) while living in Virginia. (Jack and I were stationed in VA and learning Chinese in preparation for diplomatic duty here in Hong Kong.) We realized that we lived less than ten minutes from each other and we had some great times together before she and her family left for Florida. Maritza looks fabulous! She told me that Sue Lacen was married with three children (I think it was three) and living in the Orlando area. Lita Hall (Swanzy) and I keep in touch a lot through email and the occasional phone conversation. 

I miss: The small-town feel, Cerveza Panama and Cristal in rompe-pecho bottles, Quesos Chela and musica tipica. Riding along toward Cerro Campana knowing that the beaches are just beyond the mountains (I do NOT miss passing the pig farms along the autopista near Chorrera), las michitas from the bakery in San Carlos, the smell of brush fires during dry season and of ripening mangoes, riding the chiva buses to Avenida Central, and the list goes on.... My folks are still in Panama, so I get the occasional dose of these things, but I really do miss fun times with friends (did we REALLY drink Riunite on Ice?!)....Thursday nights at the Yacht Club and the Chicken Coop, El Rancho, and lunchtime at the Bowling Alley (it's just not the same now that it's a Niko's Cafe, although I have to admit that the food's a lot better...wonder whatever happened to Tio?).
