Comment on Memories of the Civil War Years at BHS by Johnny Najjar

Indeed,all what you said is true, i feel nostalgic while reading your blog, i also attended BHS under difficult circumstances & i bet we know each other, your name is familiar, we lived in Beit Merry & me & my brother Mike attended from 1970 till 1975, changed schools then finally came back to BHS in 78 till 1980,didn’t even graduate & left to the U.S where i satyed in contact with God bless his soul Zeinoun Zeinoun, one of BHS great figures back then,i was in class with Cookie Hudson,Karin Koussa,Nancy somethin, can’t recall her name her mother used to work at a small magazine shop next to the Tivoli Cinema,Elizabeth somethin, Nabil Chaia & many others who left during the war,all these meomries haunt me until today & was wondering if i finished my education like any other normal kid back then all because of our civil War.

My childhood still haunts me & i wish i had a time machine just to go back, beautifull memories.

BHS a lovely school campus
I studied from 1985 – 1989, grades 5 till 4th high at this lovely school ; we did not feel at a war zone except on specific crazy times. I even had a lifetime experience from involving in BHS scouts for a year. Its campus from the sports fields, elementary to high school is as large as a whole university. If not for the pine processionary moth, Thaumatopea wilkinsoni, sitting under the pine trees was my favorite positions there. As you said studying was done under kerosene lamps then battery to end up in an electric motor from our neighbor. I have a solid remembrance for my colleagues during that period but I never knew where they work or in what country. 1 colleague has been my friend since 1985 ; he studied agriculture with me at AUB Agricultural Research and Education Center – AREC in the Beqaa valley. He’s Gaby Edde and he lives near Brummana in Beit Mery.

Hi there

I lived there most of my life.
that was my front porch view, and we swim cross the rocks. the left rock looks magic from inside the arch.
the Raouche is the best place to be , and the best restaurant,
you will get treated like a king.

What a “revolution” in deed !! As usual Mrs. Samar, you never fail to embody the world through your own eyes, which gives it the touch of sweetness and warmth it gasps for. Carry on !!!
