jamas olvidare a mi bello pedro miguel, sus hermosas tardes, del hermoso lago, sus sinsuanes, el sonar del tren en las tardes, fueron los mejores dias en mi ninez, y el picar de la pelota de baloncesto de mi vecino mario butler y tantas cosas mas que pasan por mi memoria, como las navidades en patines, saludos a todos

Great Site thaks for the Good Times & Memories shared here for One & all...

Gamboa, Paraiso, Pedro Miguel people are "unique" individuals. This is one place in the world that people had the opportunity to born, grow,and develop in a safe environmen. Kids played outside their homes without the fear of anyone hurting them and neighbors looking out for each other. That is what people in the State want and we had that. If you grow up during the 1960-1980s here you will know what I am talking about. This medium inspired me to say this and may have you remember that we are a special breed of people, that is a blessing. I am sorry though that our kids will never know the many opportunities we received to build this brotherhood. Most of us left our stamp as most of us being abroad kept conquering the world we live in. I just want to salute each and every person that lived within these towns and ask them to never forget where they came from and cherish the good old days. I am proud and honored to have attended school, lived and be part of the recent history of the "Canal Zone"... Dave, thank you for the opportunity provided.
God Bless!

Just wanted to drop a few lines to say hello to all the people from Pedro and Paraiso, was surfing and ran into this site. Real nice.

Nice looking update to the site Dave, like the tribute to your Mom & here's big shout out to the folks from "Paradise"...

Great site. Blessings to all the "old" Paraiso family from one who will always be family. My siblings are Robin, Connie "Bat", Wardo "TBear" and Patricia "Pat", my parents Beryl Blades, Paraiso Theater ticket seller and Amos "Beck" Blades - Red Tank Golf Course.
