Hi, I'm Barbara Harvey, I lived in Chuquicamata from 1957 to February =
1995, I have two daughters (Sun Yin 16 and Barbara 25), both born in Roy =
H. Glover Hospital in Chuqui. I am living in La Serena, Chile and =
working in Bridgestone Firestone Chile. It=B4s been great finding this =
place where I could contact old friends.
My daughter Barbara was in Chuqui this summer (our summer, south =
america) that is past February, Everyone is moving to Calama and soon =
Chuqui will be covered. They have already removed Dr. Bradford=B4s bust =
from the Hospital front, and the big mine trucks are working just behind =
the hospital. It=B4s sad to see how everything we all love is =
dissapearing underneath big dumps.
I really hope this page will go on and on. I watch my daughters and =
their feelings towards Chuqui are the same as ours. That's great, Chuqui =
will allways be a very special place in all the hearts of whom sometime =
lived there.

Charlie, sorry I haven't answered before, but I don't have any information
on Dr. Bradford's bust yet, I'm working on it. I hope I'm still on time for

Hi Barbara, I was in Chile and just got back to find your note. Look for
the next issue of Cweekly which will feature Dr. Bradford. ( do you know
what will become of Dr. Bradford's bust?)

Hi Charles, We all enjoyed the issue on Dr. Darricades. Kay enjoyed the
pictures and articles which brought back many memories. Thank you and all who
contributed to the issue very much.
Have a great trip to Chile , have a Pisco Sour and some good Chilean wine
while there.
On my mothers behalf as well as my own we want to thank you for all your
hard work. As you might imagine we were deeply touched by all the memories.
We were so fortunate to have those memories and to have you express them so
well. Have a well deserved vacation!
A big abrazo from all of us here in Merced. Kay, Ton,and Ed

Dear Charles,
I've just sent you a note from a fellow with questions about Chuqui, and it
made me think about more of the people I knew there.
Loved the articles about Dr. Darricades, whom I remember with great
fondness. Bobby Diamond is the unidentified guy in the photo with Renee,
Marjorie and Alice. And, if I can remember that far back, I am in the
background in the play picture with Renee. I think that is Jackie and
Carmen MacArthur with us.
I remember very clearly the year BJ Stanley, one of the teachers at the
school, organized all the home-from-school teens and put on a murder mystery
play. It was a great fun! I don't remember if this photo is from that play.
I kept in touch a bit with BJ after she left Chuqui and was teaching in
Pasadena, CA, but lost track of her after that. Doris Ross and Martha
Holden, also teachers, taught in the Phoenix area while I was attending
Arizona State, and we saw each other there. After that, I lost track of
them. too. Does anyone know of them now? Speaking of teachers, didn't
Cynthia Brown marry Joe Smith who taught at the school?
Does anyone have any information about Marge Lavery Desi? I see the Pate
family missing from your list. I can't remember all the daughter's names,
but I remember Winnie Pate clearly. She was our honorary Tia Winnie.
I see a number of Chuqui-ites either live in or have relatives in
Califiornia. Wouldn't it be fun to stage an after-all-these-years reunion?
Imagine the stories we'd have to tell!
Saludos to all,
Bonnie Taylor Hamre

Hi, Ted.

Hola Harold y Titi,
recien hemos vuelto de Chile y Peru! Fue una gran alegria verlos aun por
un corto tiempo. Parece que los excesos nos causaron problemas
estomacales tanto en Chile como en Peru; gracias a Dios estos ya
pasaron; pero nos quitaron preciosos dias
para poder verlos otra vez. Fue una pena no ver a George y su familia
pero para otra vez lo planearemos con cuidado y no arriesgaremos con la
comida.
Carolina esta muy bien, ya se ha decidido (al igual que nosotros a
enfrentar la realidad) sabemos que los rezos de todos la han sacado del
periodo de extrema gravedad y Elena y yo personalmente creemos que la
mano de Dios nos dara
aun mas milagros para ella.
Todos (Paula, Elena, Carolina, Chris y yo) estamos muy bien y optimistas
para el futuro.
Harold, me gustaria que me escribieras una nota donde describes los
comienzos de Chuqui.
Vi las fotos satelite, son muy interesantes.
Con respecto al disquette seria ideal que me enviaras por e-mail.

Sadly enough I missed the opportunity of seeing George because I ate

doing fine. Harold had invited us for dinner next day with George and I
missed asking details because I thought I would see him next day (not to
be).
Well I guess you have to know the rich and famous in Lima so that you
can stay
in a lovely home, be driven to all the quaint places, museums and
elegant clubs like the exclusive Club Nacional.
You are right about smog, crime, poverty etc. that is why we chose to
stay in the good old' USA and travel once in a while.
You will surely have a blast in Italy. and you can top it off by
stopping in San Antonio on the way back!

Hello, this is Kristin Smithberg Graham and I would like to add my email
address to the list so people can contact me. I do keep in touch with
some people already but plan to use the list a lot. Charles, I have been
thinking of something a lot lately, as we go to our various reunions. Why
don't
we somehow plan a CHILEX SCHOOL reunion in someplace fun like Vina del Mar
I know I never got there because I was just going off to boarding school when
Allende nationalized the mines and we all went back to the U.S. Tuti Nelson
and I and others looked on in envy at the older kids who would come back in
the summers and have endless adventures and parties. We couldn't wait for
our "turn" to come - it never did! This would be a chance to meet up withsome
old friends including Chilean friends of course perhaps 1-2 years from now.
What

cazuela de ave. That is why I am so fat!! Do you have any recipes, =

I (48) live in the city of Moss in Norway (NOT Sweden as stated on your

Chuqui. I can see myself on the stairways, in the picture you have from a
birthday party on the web site. As a start, here is my correct
address/phone/email. I had to change my name, in Chuqui everybody called me
Anita or Anitita (little Ann, you know !) The
nickname stuck, so now I use Anita instead of Ann.

As I used to when I was more involved I am again putting out a "still
looking for these..."
Has anyone any news about: Mickey White, Harry and Mary Louise Martin, G.G.
Brooks, Richard and "Sassy" Clary. Mickey, G. G. and the Clary's came to
Chuqui in approx. 1959/60. Their fathers were brought down to work on the
Roy H. Glover Hospital and so weren't in Chuqui for very long. G. G. 's
father died of a heart attack and the family left Chuqui. Harry and Mary
Louise lived in Chuqui for quite a while during the middle to late 50's.

Gracias por el ultimo numero de noviembre. He visto con gran interes el
trabajo de Ian. Quizas deberia renunciar a mi pega e irme a Chile a
hacer juguetes. Tienes que enviarme su direccion. Yo acabo de terminar
dos ambulancias 1914, una se la dare a Steve Clarence para que la guarde
como recuerdo de su abuelo. He terminado los trailers de cuatro camiones
ñatos que me han quedado bastante bien. Estos son juguetes de madera
"para adultos". Ya te mandare fotyos de las ultimas adiciones.
Mandame la direccion de Ian. Seguro que tiene email, o alguien la debe
conocer pot ahi pues si esta exportando juguetes a Alemania, su trabajo
es en grande. Yo trabajo en mis ratos libres gozando de mi Shopsmith.
Ahora estoy trabajando en una Cronica de Viaje a Macchu Picchu. La
mandare con fotos y diagramas que tengo en mi agenda de ese viaje.

The article on the hospital sounds like a nice idea. I have forwarded
your letter to my sister Connie (bgartner@aol.com) as I left Chuqui, and
subsequently Chile, at a very young age. I never even saw the old "new"
hospital until 1994 when it was on its last legs, so to speak. Oh, also I
will sendyour letter to my sister Gigi (jedjd@fone.net) as she may be some
help as well, as she actually lived near the Roy H. Glover with my
parents. Nice of you to call mi papi an "icon." We always thought the
world of him. I'm sorry my own children and grandchildren didn't get to
know him better.

Nice hearing from you and glad you guys had a nice time in Chile. Summers
are always nice there winters are a pain in the behind. We've never really
considered living in Chile as things are very al lote there and in general
people are sobrados and not very polite. The weather is terrible and if
you live in Santiago the smog is terrible in the winter time, remember
I just spent four long months there! In any case your decision of perhaps
going down there for 3-4 months at a time is a good one although I think
3 months is way too long but then you guys know more people than we do.
Lima has its attractions like any other city, it has old areas with narrow
streets, a lot of poverty and I would be interested to know where you went
that you called it sensacional. Guess that with all the years that we spent
in Peru going to Lima meant work so we really didn't visit all the neat
spots that it may have. Boy I am sounding negative with respect to both
topics! Por aca no hay mayores novedades, vamos a un crucero en Grecia
con los Cadwell y luego tomaremos un tour para conocer Italia, total 3
Nos gustaria conocer San Antonio y a ver si uno de estos meses podemos
ir a visitarlos, esta como a mil millas de Tucson. Cuando estuve en Chile
no vi al Harold pero si al Jaime Alvear en cual esta muy bien no crees,
y dime que te conto Harold del George que es de el, se esta en Santiago

Allende,dado que fue el quien nacionalizo el cobre, era medico, era senador
por la entonces provincia de Antofaasta., y otros quieren que se le llame
Hospital Sergio Stoppel, quien fue director de ese recinto por casi 20 años,
fue el que siguio al Dr. Bradford... en cuanto al buto del Dr.Bradford,
tengo entendido que serainstaldo dentro delfoyer o sala de recepction del
nuevo Hospital,como un recuerdo al Dr. Bradford,mas que como artifice del
nuevo hospital,ya que el nada tuvo que ver con este nuevo recinto, pero si
con el hospital antiguo, pues fue el quien hizo la distribucion logica de

verano haciendo una practica ,y me toco trabajar enla construccion del nuevo

Dear Mr. Feeney
My name is Monica Harvey and my family lived in Chuquicamata for around 15
years (1957 - 1970 approx). I heard from the Andinos web from Harold
Horwood. It is amazing how those who lived in these mining camps have
managed to keep in contact after so many years. Chuquicamata also has a
space in Internet (see addresses below). I'm sure that if you contact
Charles Fisk he will be so happy to share experiences on this coming closer
through cyber space. A lot of us ex-Chuquicamatinos are still in Chile and
still related to the mining business. You will find in the "Chilex Weekly"
addresses and correspondence as well as pictures, and I'm sure, more than a
friend.

there is a picture where your mom and dad are lying down with the
Cortez's "stick" garden behind them. A note to that effect is written in
the back of the picture.
Do you know who wrote the note? I want to include the picture and a
picture of said note so it would be neat to know who's handwriting it
is.
Also the two Mercurio notes are they both from Antofagasta or is one
from Santiago?
The article is looking really nice and I am planning to put it on your

Dearest Charlie,
We just came in the door and are rushing out again in a few minutes, but I
have to tell you at once what JOY I got and what a lovely surprise to see
the Weekly with all those kind words about my dad. If it's not too
intrusive, some day perhaps you'll tell me what had you laid up for such a
long time in hospital. My dad always loved kids. I just wept with
happiness to see your kind efforts and words, and as with all good things,
I learned a little more than I knew about my dad too! I will be so proud
to forward that site to my children and grandchildren as they will get a
real insight into their Chilean heritage. I feel my life in Chuqui is
almost like a mere dream, but this brings it back into focus.
I just glanced quickly at the front page and I will look it over more
thoroughly tomorrow and get back to you then. I don't even want to go out
and leave this wonderful Weekly now! But I have to. Tell your wife she
is married to a wonderful man. It was so kind of Richard and the Fahms to
write such nice things too. By the way, speaking of your wife, Elena, she
sounds really nice and I have heard several times from Clarence that she
is also a wonderful cook too. How nice you have a vacation in Chile to
look forward to soon. Eat pastel de choclo, empanadas, choripan, etc.
etc., and toast us with vino tinto, blanco and pisco sours and we will do
the same here for you. (Imagine--we can buy pisco right here in
Vancouver. The world is getting better--smaller, at least.)
Thank you, and hasta mañana when I will write some more. I want to show it
to Sandy (who is a good guy because he really loved Chile too) also. But I
want to take my time.
Grandes abrazos,
Renee

Well done with another great edition of the Chilex Weekly, it is wonderful

I was told you put together a newsletter on Chuquicamata.
I am trying to track down information about
my grandparents who lived there in the 30s.
Might you have some information,
or know someone I could talk to?
Sincerely,
Ted Worthington

Hi,
My sisters found your website so immediately I checked it out. I wanted to
let you know that you helped me get back in touch with Rainie Paulsen, whom I
had lost touch with a long time ago. I lived in Chuqui (Casa 215) back in
1968 to 1974. Other than the Gustafsons and Fahms and some others in your
list I don't recall any of the names. However I seem to share the fond
memories of what the Chilex School was (I came in to 4th grade) and the
Chilex. The milk bar was my hangout, as was the pool and the disco we put
together up one summer.
I went back about 8 years ago and my house was no longer on the map and I
hear what used to be Chuqui is not likely to survive this year.
I will write some story you can publish as soon as I make time, in the
meantime, it was great to read of foremer chuquicamatinos. You can add my
name to your list as well as those of my sisters:
Monica Roman : MonicaRoman2K@aol.com
Cecilia Roman: Ceciliar@iadb.org
and myself
Teresa Roman: TereRoman@aol.com
Keep up the website!

See if you can answer this puzzle.
Here is a pretty neat little thing from Paul Harvey.
See if you can guess the riddle at the end.
Paul Harvey Writes:
We tried so hard to make things better for our kids
that we made them worse.
For my grandchildren, I'd like better. I'd really like
for them to know about hand me down clothes and
homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches.
I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that
you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to
make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.
And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car
when you are sixteen.
It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies
born and your old dog put to sleep. I hope you get a
black eye fighting for something you believe in, I hope
you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother.
And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the
middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the
covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.
When you want to see a movie and your little brother
wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him. I hope you have
to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you
live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days
when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask
your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't
be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.
If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you
how to make one instead of buying one.
I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn
to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased
by your friends when you have your first crush on a girl,
and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what
ivory soap tastes like.
May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your
hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you
don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint,
I hope you realize he is not your friend. I sure hope you
make time to sit on a porch with your Grandpa and go
fishing your Uncle.
May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the
holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw
a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she
hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her
a plaster mold of your hand.
These things I wish for you - tough times and
disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's
the only way to appreciate life. Written with a pen.
Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before
you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.
We secure our friends, not by accepting favors,
but by doing them.
Paul Harvey
NOW THE RIDDLE:
When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got
the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.
What is greater than God, More evil than the devil,
The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it,
you'll die?
Send this to 10 people and then press shift and you
will get the answer.
P.S. You won't believe this, but this really does
give you the answer!!!!

Take your time with the pictures. I know I have more but they are slides
and I have many, many boxes. Most belonged to my parents. It is hard to
see them since I do not have a projector.
Gracias por el "wow" - yo por suerte estoy bien de salud y sigo trabajando.
Los nietos me mantienen agil!
La Joy Jenkins de Evans esta muy bien. Vive en Irvine, CA cerca de su hijo
Keith. La hija, Olivia, se caso con un chileno y se fueron a vivir cerca de
Santiago (tiene 4 hijos). Brian murio de cancer muy joven.
Yo fui companera de su hermana mayor y cada vez que voy a Chile nos
juntamos. La hermana melliza de la Joy vive tambien en Santiago y esta muy
bien.
Yo tambien tengo muy buenos recuerdos de Chuqui. Incluso fui hace tres
agnos. La Alice y su marido German Fehlandt, me llevaron en un tour a todas
las partes que conociamos. Mi ultima casa (1100) todavia se veia pero el
arbol que planto mi mama y que estaba enorme ya estaba un poco ladeado.
Fuimos al hospital (yo trabaje ahi antes de venirme a USA) y nos sacamos
fotos en frente del busto del Dr. Bradford.
Gracias por todos tus esfuerzos para mantener este web site. Es muy
entretenido. Goze leyendo todas las cartas.. Ojala mas gente envie su
direccion e-mail para poder escribirles.
Saludos,
Marcia
Carinosos saludos y espero ansiosa las noticias de Chuqui en Julio.

HI!
got the pictures, Elena and I went away to Hilton Head for five days (had
a lot of fun)!
Your photos are great, the ones of Dr. Bradford will be added in the
July 7 issue as they fit in to perfection.
It was a treat to see you looking so young and charming wow! Alice
Peterson seems to keep her charming face; great to learn about Andrew; I
do not know if he kept in contact with Joey Jenkins; she used to live
close to us in Connecticut but then we lost contact as we left for NC
and they left for Israel and eventually some place in CA. Her husband
died quite suddenly is the last I knew.
I will copy your pictures and send them right back, will take good care
of them!

Good morning Charlie,
I'd be delighted to help in any way with the site. Tell me more about
Chuquichat and maybe send me the code...so I can see what we are talking
about. I have a few ideas about navigation too, but I'd like to hear from
you first what the architecture behind the site looks like. So, lay it out
for me please! :)
You wouldn't know my dad I guess, since he moved to Chuqui in 65. He said
that "chico Fisk" was Clarence Fisk...would be in his mid-60s now. I'll dig
for the pictures and send them to you.
Talk to you soon,
Monica

Hi Monica, you have an interesting story to tell; I will publish it in the
issue after this one. I see you develop databases which is VERYYYY
interesting.
I too am a computer guy and work at USAA in San Antonio doing Actuarial
programming using APL. I also do a lot of web stuff. It would be nice to
work
with you on the web site perhaps we can push it to new heights. I am not
very
good at data bases but as a first challenge we may want to improve our
Chuquichat system. Anyhow let me know what you would like to do to help.
I lived in Chuqui from 1940 to 1956, I do not recall your dad but if you can
refresh my memory a little...
Charlie.

Que imaginacion tienes tu , llamarte Rio Loa Kid, ya te veo encaramado
a la cascada en Opache. Le mando copia de tu mensaje a Charlie para
que cambie tu direccion en el chilex2000.
Acabo de recibir un mensaje de Barbara y pienso contestarle ya!
Se que aun te debo la receta del charquican, y como tengo a Paty aqui
a mi lado le he dicho "dictame la receta del charquican para el Rio
Loa Kid· Bueno aqui va:
Ingredientes:
4 papas medianas
2 zanahorias
1/2 bolsa grande de zapallo (squash nut amarillo viene en bolsa
congelado).
1 taza de arvejas o mas (peas).
1 libra carne molida (good quality ground beaf)
1 cebolla grande
1/2 bolsa de choclo que encuentras en los congelados.
ajo, sal, paprica (sweet), oregano, comino, aceite.
Preparacion
pelar la verdura
poner a cocer la verdura con poca agua en olla a presion, las papas
debes partirla en mitad. Dejar que la ola adquiera presion y dejar en
el fuego por unos 5 minutos, quitar del fuego y dejar quieta hasta que
baje la presion.
Mientras se cocinan las verduras, hacer un ·pino· con la cebolla
picada, carne molida, y los alignos a ·gusto· (echarle dos
cucharaditas de paprica para darle color). Primero freir la cebolla
agregar la carne y los alignos.
Una vez que la olla a presion se pueda abrir, colar la verdura y
guardar el agua en que se ha cocido.
La verdura se vuelve a la olla. Se la ·machaca·un poco y se le agrega
el pino. Probar y agregar aligno (sal), etc segun gusto. Si esta muy
espeso agregarle un poco del agua en que se cocieron las verduras.
Servir, y acompagnar con ensalada de tomates, con cebolla picada, y
dell pickles (aparte). Mi madre le ponia un huevo frito encima, era
uno de nuestros platos preferidos.
Preparalo, y me cuentas como te va.
Un abrazo
Clarence II for Paty
