Wow. Facebook has done it again. Taking me back, way back into my childhood. In the search box I typed in Oil Companies School tonight. My second and third grade years were spent at OCS in Tripoli, Libya. The years I lived in Tripoli were from 1969-1971.
They were great years. Tripoli was a modern city. Everything for the American families centered around school activities or going to the Teen Club at kilometer 9 to swim in the Medietarian (sp) Sea. Many actitives for families to help with the home sickness.
The facebook page for OCS had pictures of the school grounds. The biggest change I could see from what I remember OCS looking at is that there was more landscapping done. All I remember about Tripoli is sand, sand, sand everywhere.
Some of the names I recognized who had joined the group. Names I had not thought of since the days in Tripoli. Some of those names of our people who live just 15 miles to the west of Marshall in Longview. I sent a message to these individuals to reconnect. The world we live in is getting smaller and smaller.
Wow. What a trip through cyberspace.
