Subject: Foto Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 16:50:11 -0700 From: gaston pasut Organization: consultant To: Graciela Osterberg Hi, Gracie! How are you? Long time we haven't heard from anyone. Things still going on with the Chilex Weekly? Here's a photo I got from Gaston's parents while we were in Chile last week. Gaston took a picture of your house in Chuqui and says to tell you it's still standing. We'll send it along when we get the pics developed. Let me know who you recognize and I'll "fill in the blanks". Do you remember Claudio Garcia? His brother was Juan Jose. Claudio suffered a fatal airplane accident a couple weeks ago in the south of Chile. Sandro and Teresa Marini's son was also killed in the accident. Terrible thing. Saludos, Tito and Leah

Subject: Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 23:50:50 +1100 From: "Harvey, Monica MB" To: "'cmfisk@texas.net'" Dear Mr Fisk, I don't remember you and you probably don't remember me, but my family also lived in Chuquicamata for over 15 years. We arrived there in 1957 and first lived in one of those two floor houses near Pulperia # 1. We lived next to the Gleasons' (Larry and Keith). Of course I went to Freida Ruther's kindergarden, as we all did and latter on to the Foreign School. I was in the same grade as Gigi Darricades, Michael Clark, Lucho Leon, Ann Kristensen, Vicky Woodbridge, Steven Bosse, Carlos Paulsen, Sally Hodges, Maureen Hurley, Susana Sandoval, Patricia Cortes, Eva Wiercinski (I think its how its written) Patricia Hedges, Alicia Chellew, Jeffrey Ferguson, David Warren (hope I'm not missing anybody). Miss Perrick and Miss Palosia were my first teachers (I'm not sure if I'm writting them correctly, its been so long). I remember Bobby McArthur, Ricky Teel, Gary White and his little sister Cheryl. Of course I remember the Swains, we lived close by (about the third house we lived in while in Chuqui) in House 1301, right next door to the Cunliff's. Of course I was "una cabra chica" for Kenny Brown and Jose Avenda?o, "Boy" Swain, George Maitland, Tony Hurley and others, but eventualy did hang out with them when I turned 17 or 18. In Chuqui's last years of Anaconda, Eduardo Machuca, "Laddie" and Lorna Skupham, George and Marjorie Maitland, Carmen Bailey, and a few others were the last to leave. A lot of us are still in Chile, and see each other once in a while. Sergio Valenzuela, George Maitland, Laddy Skupham, one of my sisters (Besie), (Ponky Gopfert, Harold Horwood and Jorge Lambeth until a few years ago) work in the same company (mining company of course, they called us the Anaconda Kids) and others, like John Mclachlan, Reggie Chellew, Ponky Goepfert, are still related to the mining business. I am actually living in Santiago with my family (husband Radoslav and three kids 25, 19 and 16). I know a lot of Chuquicamatinos that live in Santiago as well. I just could go on and on... I will certainly look for recent news from the past in this wonderful media. Keep safe everybody..... My address: Monica Harvey Alicante 984 Las Condes, Santiago House phone (56)(2) 2081740 Office phone (56)(2) 3305925 Office address Av. Americo Vespucio Sur #100, Piso 7 Las Condes, Santiago P.D. I tried sending an e/mail to Graciela to gosterberg@theriver.com but it returned undelivered.

Si ha sido descontinuado seria una pena ya que hay muchos amigos que estan esperando la nueva edicion.

Come on man do us all the favor and continue doing it! Gracias de antemano, un fuerte abrazo a ambos, Tito Pasut

Regarding the 1945 picture, some names for the front row, from the right: Joanne Edwards, Julieta Ortiz (between Joanne and Richard), Richard Dickenson, John Bradford, Charles Fisk (must confess that I thought it was Arnoldo Ortiz), Tito Pasut, Olga Meloslavin, ??, Anne Marie Ness, ??, ?

Subject: RE: Chuquicamata Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 06:54:49 EDT From: JBar434451@aol.com To: cmfisk@texas.net, gosterberg@theriver.com Hello from Massachusetts: My sister, Bonnie Taylor Hamre, has passed along your email addresses. I've lived in Massachusetts since 1975 (in Chicopee since 1984), but I'm moving home to Butte, Montana--where my dad, Jim Taylor, and my sister, Lucy Taylor, live--later this summer, probably in August. We Taylors have no family connection with Massachusetts...I just moved here in 1975 after completing a couple of years in the Peace Corps in Paraguay (1972-1974). My best friend all through school (2nd-8th grades) in Chuqui was Lucy L. Letchford, with whom I still correspond. Lucy's older sister is Cathy Letchford and her younger brother is George Letchford, both in the United States now. Their father, Ken, died a number of years ago, but their mother, Elena, is living in Florida, I believe. Lucy currently lives in Roswell, Georgia, outside of Atlanta, but I have no email address for her. Lucy and I were part of a 7-member graduating class from the Chilex Foreign School in 1962, the first "accelerated" 8th grade to graduate in August instead of December, so that we could start high school in the States on time in September. Other members of that class were Carl Teel, Kenneth Brown, Jose Avendano (who died in a car accident in Arizona some years ago), Peter Woodbridge, and Ethel Cortes. Evelyn Swift was our school principal, as well as our 8th grade teacher, at the time. I'm looking forward to checking out the Chuqui site that Bonnie forwarded, and to a continuing dialogue about Chuqui. Best regards, Jamie Taylor Barrett
Subject: Re: Addresses Of People Who Once Lived In Chuquicamata Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2000 17:00:54 -0700 From: "Bonnie Hamre" To: "Charles Fisk" CC: "graciela ostergberg" Good to hear from you, Charles. I've been trying to place you and Graciela, and failing - sorry! From the photos I remember Walter Morton, Reggie Chellew, Tito Pasut and Johnny Bradford but not you. How strange. We moved to Chuqui in 1957, when I was already in school in Santiago (at Santiago College) but my younger sisters went to the Foreign School. I forwarded your note to them in case they have memories or photos they want to share. We lived in house 1220, if I remember correctly, and my mother coaxed a garden in the front, with pepper trees, geraniums and a bit of grass and other flowers. My particular girl friends were Carmen MacDonald, Carolyn Gephart and Christine DeBruyne. Boy friends? I think I had crushes on every guy in camp at one time or another! After Santiago College, I went to school in Minnesota, and then Washington, DC. I was part of the gang who took over the Panagra flights, as the "school bus" to and from Anto for long vacation. We used the Chilex Club as home away from home, enjoyed picnics to Lasana and Chiu Chiu and had a party for any reason at all. Sometimes with no reason! I do remember some of the teachers at the Foreign School from a social point of view. Mrs. Swift, of course. Martha Holden and BJ Stanley, Doris Ross and Len Miller, and later Joe Smith. One winter vacation, BJ directed a play and most of us were in it, one way or another. Rehearsals at the club were great fun, as were the performances. Bill Bashor was principal when I worked as an aide there in 1963. I remember when Kennedy was shot and we all crowded into his office to hear the news on the radio. I left Chuqui in June 1964 to complete my education in the US, as did my sisters after me, until my family left Chile in 1965. Funny, I loved Chuqui and always thought I'd return, marry and raise my own family there, but no. We have no family connections to Chicopee. Jamie settled in the area after her stint in Paraguay with the Peace Corps. She's very active in the Latino community there and teaches ESL among other things. By the way, I placed a link to CW2000 on my Chuqui page at http://gosouthamerica.about.com/msubChChuqui.htm Ciao, Bonnie

I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas) 2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in. 3. Aren't you the guy from the Village People? 4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job! 5. Are You Andy or Barney? 6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer. 7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you? 8. I pay your salary! 9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too! 10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does. 11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are. 12. When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with, "Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?" HAROLD LAMBETH

It is amazing after all these years that we seem to remember all of the maldades that we were accused of doing and some we did! I enjoyed your last edition of the chilex weekly, especially after I learned how to maneuver around in it; keep up the good work! Seeing your pictures reminds one of how old we really are! loved the added art work! Hope you are enjoying the Texas Spring! Your fellow Chuquicamatino, John
