Dear Brats,
This last weekend I attended my first Brat Reunion. From the minute I walked in to the very end, it was a glorious event. First of all, I want to say how proud I am of all the work you did to put on such a huge event! I was delighted to be with you and share once more the mystic of having been in Arabia together. I cannot summon up enough words of praise for your enterprise, joy and continuing brotherhood! Keep up your wonderful work. I support you with my heart 100 percent. Thank you very much for your wonderful work on this planet. Love and respect, Lornis M. Van Loon - Teacher in Ras Tanura 63-68, Dhahran 68-69.
I have to express the sheer joy and excitement I felt over Memorial Day weekend. This past weekend has solidified that Brats of all ages and creeds can come together and still know how to party! I saw old friends I hadn't seen in years, and met some new ones. The highlight for me is when I joined an Aramco Brat band from the late 60's on stage for some rockin' tunes! The crowd loved it and we all celebrated in music like we were in someone's backyard at some house party! Truly a good time. Thanks for the good memories! Respect to Digiplex studios for the Aramco Brat Documentary! Respect to all party goers in Rm # 333! Respect to Aramco Band! Respect to all Brats! Peace, Hans Stockenberger - Class of 95.

Howard and I went by the Brat reunion and visited with several of our 'ole friends and some of our kids' friends. The photo is of the young men who went to school with our oldest son Gary Benware in Dhahran. They were really close. I had not seen them in years. It was wonderful. Maria Berg
