Under the Jacaranda Tree: American Childhood in Egypt

These are memories of an American child growing up in Egypt during the 1969-1983 time frame. Due to modernization, many of the sights and experiences are no longer there, and the people I loved there are long gone. The memories of experiences are all mine and I mean to leave a record of a life of adventure and simple pleasures that have long been lost to videogames and cell phones. I hope one day these stories will be passed on to all who want to remember a Cairo of long ago.

side note regarding Mark Kirksey "Kirk" Kennedy

My brother and I did not usually do things together. He was younger than me and I did not want to associate with me…or him me. However on occasion, rarely, we sought out each others company when we were bored. Unfortunately we were a notorious pair as we usually ended up doing something wrong.

Ateya the cook called my brother Kooky. He was called Kirk by the family and I called him Kirky at that time, so Ateya tried to call him Kirky but it always came out Kooky
