"get to know one another", chat about A.S.M. (i.e. "our days"), our
teachers, and other interesting topics ..., play some drinking games (i.e.
"quarters" / "Coronal Puff, Puff" / "Bumper"), compare year
books (i.e. 60's-90's), etc ..
Later, since we will be in the Coconut Grove area we can go
catch a bite to eat !!!

keep in touch for the future !!! |

ASM and Madrid, Spain - Forever !!!
The one thing I have realized is that it does not matter what
year we have graduated - in the 60's, 70's, 80', or 90's - A.S.M., Madrid, Spain and the
influences vested upon "us" has always remain the same ... for example:
Hanging Out (Friday/Saturday Nights)
Having sangria at Las Cuevas in Plaza Mayor (i.e. we would do this in the middle of winter
- while the Spaniards would be indoors we would be the "gringos" outside in the
cold weather enjoying our sangria) or hanging out at the Litter Bar, El Parador Nacional,
Bora Bora, Western Pizza, Saxos, Athena, etc ...
Buses
Same "old" school buses ... especially, the small afterschool buses ... SENIORS
always sat in the back !!!
Prom Nite: Junior/Senior
The Spaniards would usually say ... "Ahi van los novios" they would be
under the impression that due to the guys wearing tuxes (i.e. they were rented each year
from the same place - hand tailored made tuxes - great quality - I bet, the one I used in
1982 was the same one I used in 1983 - looked new, two years in a row and it fits ... now,
well that's a different story) and the girls in their prom dresses (styles: changed in the
90's) that it was a massive wedding party.
Teachers & Education At ASM
The education we received at ASM is of exceptional quality !!! The teachers that have been
there thoughout the years have a special talent ... Ricardo ('69) and I ('83) spoke very
highly about Mrs. Fernandez, Carmen De las Heras and Santoro - what we learned
"sticks" with us - isn't that amazing !!!
Sports
From 1967 onward ASM has thoughout the years had great sport teams - with coaches such as
Callejon ("Change, Change"), Carlos Herrera, and one of our '72 graduates John
Comiskey. And what about, our "cross country" runs at lunch time ? Well, if it
meant running to Pozuelo, having a "caņita and tapas" and then
"walking" back - that was always fine with us.
The list can go on ... but, I'll leave that up to ya' ll
!!!
