It ain't the dance...it'll have to do for now.
The Deans Circle stink eye.
The view from the front of my house. Just down the street Matt is up to no good, I just know it. And Becki is probably studying. Further down, Scott Shook is...well never mind.
No photo anthology could be considered complete without consideration to that corrupter of youth, Cruz Store. I wonder how many quarters we spent there on pinball & pickled papaya. .25 a can Schlitz.
Me and my ride. Love the handlebars. That thing saved my life more than once.
View from the backyard of my house. Short trip through our beloved coconut grove to the Fine Arts Building. Thank God that we were the pillars of the community otherwise bad things could have happened out there at night. 
Some of you may remember the Toals. This was a dinner we had on our lanai that we built with bomb crates from Anderson. Mr.Toal (far right barely in the photo) was the band director at GW. Look second from left, that's Chris Toal, the neighborhood enforcer. Then its Dave, then some some dorky kid, Ms. Toal, my mom & dad.That's all for now.

Hello all!!
Hello to all! I have fond memories of Guam and Deans Circle. However, not quite as vivid as my brother David. I am greatful to him for all of the memories and information from our time on the Island. My family, minus my brothers and cousin, moved back to the mainland right before Pamela. Not sure what year...I was 9...my memories are that of a child. My fondest memories are of my best friend at the time Joanna and my mother calling me in for dinner and making mention of all the red dirt stains on my clothes...lol! I have searched for Joanna for many years after I lost touch with her in our early teens. I'm very excited and interested in reading everyones posts!
And hope to reconnect with Joanna soon! I'm on facebook as just 'Nanci Villegas'.

guamanian breakfast
Got up this am and treated him. (don't get spoiled mister) Made rice, left over chicken and cuk salad.
I remember before moving to Deans circle, we lived in Dededo. The Guamanian lady down the street always made a big breakfast in the morning....smelled sooogood. She used to cut my hair too and we used to listen to Elvis records.
Funny how sometimes I can't remember what happened yesterday, but I remember that :)

From John Hayes
Hi David,
It is nice to hear from you. I'll look on your blog to find out where you are. I am offline at the moment so can't do that now. Coincidentally, I was thinking about that Father-son game the day before I picked up your email. I hadn't thought of that game in years. You are right that it was the one and only game we had. I think it was my idea, or maybe mine and Danny MacDonald's---the older MacDonald boy who was at UOG----maybe I'm getting confused and Danny was the younger brother and David was the older one. In any case, we had all played so much football that fall of 1971 that I assumed we could be competitive against the dads. But I didn't take into account how hard those dads would play, and how they kind of ran right over our frontline of little guys. You will likely not remember this, but the first play Danny called was something called "Blue, 70.." something after that , and it called for our line to block left and me to run a fly pattern down the right side. I remember thinking we were starting out with the one play that we'd practiced most, and that it could be kind of downhill from there. and it kinda was. But it was still fun. Amazing to think that was nearly 40 years ago, the VN war was going on, and planes were taking off to bomb Hanoi and Cambodia and other war-torn areas while we were all trying to manage something like normal childhoods. Good to hear from you. Are there a number of you all in touch? I know David Waite has been really good at recalling those years. Do you have an email address on him? I had one but think it is now out of date. Just so you know, it will be a month before I get back to anyone as Deanna and I are taking a month out for study leave so I can do some writing and other things.
