crassus 0 Posted August 13, 2004 After readings Ex-Ronin's listing some of the Locations in Greece to visit, I got all teary-eyed and nostalgiac when at the top I read of Kifissia. I attended American Community Schools in Athens graduating in 1987. I lived just north of Kifissia, in Nea Kifissia, in the hills! (Try climbing those roads after a Friday night in Kifissia!) Anyway, I'm probably going out on a limb, but I'm wondering if there are any other folks out there in the OFP community who'd attended ACS, esp. from 1985 to 1987.

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Outstanding!! That's incredible!! Were you part of the Boarding Unit too? Lived right there in Kifissia, not too far from Yani's. Â They shut it down, no more boarding I stayed with my aunties Used to go out in Kifissia almost every day, hardly ever went to Glyfada - they are all psonia down there Is Yani's the souvlatzidiko near MacDonald's? 1985, eh? You missed Parazynski by 4 years I shook his hand back in '99 when he came around for a visit Did the Blue and Gold exist back then? I was science editor for two years anyway Do you remember any of these? Daley, Madeiros, Tsokos, Krummenoehl (sp?), Dadoly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted August 13, 2004 http://www.acs.gr/pages/alumni.html Have a look there. I haven't joined yet, might do as soon as I finish uni though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crassus 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Wow, did you know:Greg Kinnear was an alumn of ACS? Class of '81? Quote[/b] ]Used to go out in Kifissia almost every day, hardly ever went to Glyfada - they are all psonia down there Is Yani's the souvlatzidiko near MacDonald's? No, no McDonald's back then. Let's see: you would leave Kefalari Park and cross the street to Yani's. It sat on the corner, and if you looked to the right would be a kiosk, further down would be a restaurant (oh the name!!!) at which we would get the "Neopolitan" spaghetti. Further down the street, on the right would be the apartments at which us Embassy brats would stay at before we got the house in the hills. Quote[/b] ]1985, eh? You missed Parazynski by 4 years Wow, an astronaut. Of course back then we nothing of him.... Quote[/b] ]Did the Blue and Gold exist back then? Blue and Gold? Remind me what that was/is? I remember the Red and Black. Was that around when you were there? Quote[/b] ]Do you remember any of these? Daley, Madeiros, Tsokos, Krummenoehl (sp?), Dadoly? Oooh, teachers? I vaguely recall Daley, Madeiros, but not the others. I've my yearbook at my mother's 'cross town. Now I've to break it out, dust if off, and just remember. (I joined the Yahoo! ACS group, as well as the International School of Kenya (ISK) group....) Have to go--got something in my eyes.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or Northwards of Kefalari? Basically, either northwards (and parallel to Kifissias) or eastwards (towards Politia). Or am I lost Quote[/b] ]Blue and Gold? Remind me what that was/is?

Quote[/b] ]I vaguely recall Daley, Madeiros, but not the others. Daley was IB coordinator when I was there, but she quit that a few years ago and is back to teaching now. Madeiros is the Academy principal. Just remembered another name: PAPATASSOS!!!! Little Billy is now a teacher Damn good one too Aaaaahhh the memories How many people from ACS are you still in contact with? I have regular contact with about 5 of them....

crassus 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Red and Black was the the club we'd get sloshed at every Friday night. It was open during the school year, but come summer it was closed up. I tried to find a street map of Kifissia and Politia. I forgot the name Politia--perhaps I'm confusing the locals. Sadly, I'm in contact with only one person, and she's from a class that graduated a year after I did. (She and my bro dated...) Thanks for bringing back the memories. But no one else from ACS plays OFP?! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
