Berlin Brats
"We spent our entire childhoods in the service of our country, and no one even knew we were there." - Pat Conroy
REUNIONS are all classes. They are about 4 days long and typically held every 3 years in a different location; rotating between the west coast, mid-country, the east coast and sometimes BERLIN.

REGIONALS are local get-togethers which usually are a luncheon, dinner or possible weekend get-together. They are organized by whomever, wherever and whenever. Go ahead, organize a gathering yourself!

Please see our HOME page for upcoming events.

2001 ~ 6th Reunion ~ Wichita, KS

Wichita 19-22 July 2001
By this time the BERLIN Brats had learned about Overseas Brats and The American Overseas School Historical Society. In support of AOSHS we decided to hold a Reunion-within-a-Reunion and attend OSB's "Homecoming 2001." OSB was structuring a Reunion around AOSHS's site dedication in Wichita, KS. Here we competed against other schools in several categories.

bahs0027 BERLIN Won:
The largest attendance by a school - we had 95 attendees.
The most school spirit - we were decked out in maroon & white.
Best school exhibit - we built THE WALL.

1999 ~ 5th Reunion ~ Breckenridge, CO
Wichita
5-8 August 1999
By 1997, Jeri (Polansky) Glass '72 assumed the position of Director of the BERLIN Brats. She was assisted by Renee (Shipley) Knowles '71 for a year followed by Pat (Martel) Little '72. In 1996 Laura introduced us to "Grand Unions" where all overseas schools/all years came together for one reunion. One had been held in 1993 and was extremely successful; garnering national press coverage. Another Grand Reunion was going to be held in 1999, so we had a decision to make. Were we going to participate in the Grand Reunion or host our own reunion in 1999? So, in 1997 a ballot was mailed out to existing members. We voted overwhelming to hold our own. REUNION '99 in Breckenridge, CO which was the largest REUNION to date with 246 brats!  Photos   RSVPs  UpVideo

1996 ~ 4th Reunion ~ Dallas, TX
14-16 June 1996
At the impromptu breakfast meeting in 1991 Laura (Coats) Satterfield '71 volunteered to organize the next Reunion. Laura thought we were ready to advance to the next stage of an official Alumni Association. Sometime between 1991 and 1993 Laura linked up with Joe Condrill, President of Overseas Brats. Joe was instrumental in helping us grow. Laura started our newsletters, implemented dues and built an official Alumni Association Database. We were on our way! The association database grew from about 80 names to over 700.

Our 4th Reunion was held in the summer of 1996 in Dallas, TX. Approximately 23 Brats were in attendance with 5 spouses. At the departure breakfast/meeting those in attendance decided that Reunions every 5 years wasn't enough. We wanted more! Reunions every 3 years was the cry! As discussions continued it became apparent that we needed more volunteers to help with our association. Jeri (Polansky) Glass '72 volunteered to organize the next reunion and Laura continued running the association. Photo

August Grand Reunion in Grapevine, TX    Photo 


1991 ~ 3rd Reunion ~ Helen, GA
At this time the organizers of the 1st and 2nd Reunions did not know of each others' existence and more importantly of their list of names! To further complicate the matter the lists that were compiled for each of these events were out of date. (Hey, we were still in our infancy!) In the summer of 1991 Ray Holmes '69, who had attended the 1986 Reunion, sponsored a Reunion in the Alpine Village of Helen, GA. An estimated 33 Brats were in attendance. At this Reunion, several of the attendees met at a roadside restaurant for breakfast as they were driving back to the Atlanta area for their trips home.
It was decided then and there that we should have Reunions every 5 years! Photo 


1987 ~ 2nd Reunion ~ Greenbelt, MD
8 August 1987
Back in 1986 with the class of '77s 10-year reunion rapidly approaching I decided to contact my fellow '77 classmates. Within a few months I found myself writing to the Stars and Strips and the Army and Navy Times. With a few of my friends working for the FBI, CIA, and DEA, I had them posting flyers to get the word out too. Needless to say, this was before the internet! The response was overwhelming. Over 200 BERLIN Brats spanning two generations attended. The theme of the reunion was set-up like an old fashioned prom. Each person was greeted by a professional photographer, followed by cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Ice sculptures and candelabras were placed upon on each table setting the tone for the reunion to begin. The reunion committee members were seated on stage and the reunion began with Billy Short '78 taking us back in time as a new student taking his/her first steps into the halls of BERLIN American High. First entering the main foyer, then making a right to the school office to register and then proceeding down the first floor hallways to our lockers... From where I was sitting on stage, and with the amount of smiles and tears coming from Billy's great speech, that evening showed me that the spirit of BAHS will continue on for many years to come!

1986 ~ 1st Reunion ~ Virginia Beach, VA
19 July 1986
Three BERLIN Cheerleaders, Sandi (Hoosack) Trader '70, Cindy (Lee) Brewer '68 and Debbie (Hoosack) Jones '72, came up with the crazy idea that BERLIN American High School could have a Reunion just like their stateside friends. So the 1986 Reunion took off. From a hand written list of names and addresses an astounding number of 198 BERLIN Brats attended that summer in Virginia Beach, VA.
