The Learning Channel (TLC) featured Wurtsmith Memorial/Wagner HS in its Reunions program.  Episode #17 "Wagner High School" was filmed in California and South Carolina in the summer of 1998, and included great coverage of the Charleston Reunion.  The program was first broadcast on Thursday, 8 October 1998 with plans to air the show 5 or 6 more times during 1998.

"I have all of these photographs I've kept..."

 I visited your site about Wagner and the area, and I've also seen other Angeles/Olongopo sites and I've done lots of reading and picture looking, and I have to say.... It really seems like there was a great community there before the bases closed.  I started feeling nostalgic about places I've never even seen.  I started to imagine the last class of seniors to graduate, and the children who grew up there, some who at the time had never even been to the U.S.

Just to be clear... I'm a proud American, who's never been in the service, but I started to feel like I wished I was... and I wish I was stationed there.  I know this probably all sounds like rambling, but I just wanted someone from there to know how I felt.

Thanks for the memories... Memories that I shouldn't even have. hehehehe

"...the most important photograph I've kept all these 35 years..."

 ...You know, I was so very surprised that at the very beginning of this program, I, without any warning, burst into tears.  They are still coming, just those slow, big kind.       This program will help to explain to friends, and especially to my daughter, the importance of making every day count with each other. 

This had to have been an emotional roller coaster time for you....you did a wonderful job, given the circumstances.

Thanks...Jeanne'72

 Jerry...call Judy
Judy....Mary and John both commute to New York from the Princeton area and get home late at night when she starts dinner for that gang that still lives with her.  She had a call last Thur night from one of her long lost "best friends" who saw her on TV.  They have not seen each other in many years and Mary had actually lost touch completely....they used to work together 25 years ago in N.Y. and the friend has since moved to VA.  Would you believe that Mary didn't even know that the show was on TLC.....EARTH TO MARY!  Of course she called me up for the scoop.  Anyway, her gang is all fine and son, Daniel, went back to school which is probably why there was less urgency to get Jen's number.  Dennis seems to be adjusting very well to
the slower pace down here....he is settled into his new place and is finding lots of activities to fill his dance card. He is really terrific and getting better daily. Its really nice to have another family member in the area.

Give my love to Miss Eleanor....she'll always be one of my favorite "moms"!  What brand of beer are you serving with the popcorn?  We might just try to swing by on one of our next trips up that way.

Love to all of you.....Dianne '65

TLC Program
John,  the TLC "Wagner High" Reunion program is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Pat, my wife, and I really enjoyed
it.  We watched it when I arrived home late Saturday evening and again on Sunday evening.  I am going to take it to the AOSHS board meeting tomorrow and show it to them. 
        The entire program is so genuine, and it really does bring back memories to all who have spent time in the overseas schools, either DoD or private.  You and the TLC people "Done Good" John.  Thank you from all the "Brats" who'll see it and have it bring back fond memories for them as it did for us!!!!!!!!!!               Bruce Taft - Principal
