1REMEMBER WHEN IN ARUBA?Press ESC to exit slide
show.This photo shows the celebration for the
4th of July. Can anyone remember the year?
2Remember when the animals from the circus that
was visiting the island escaped? It was the same
day the space plane flew over the island. I
think the bird was lost.
3One of the apes who escaped from the circus found
his way to Lago Colony. This photo was take on
the same day the space plane was seen flying over
the Colony.
4The ape and elephant that escaped from the circus
liked to spend the day at Baby Beach. Does
anyone remember the elephants name? Who
remembers what the elephant ate?
5After a year or so the ape did not like living
with the elephant at Baby Beach so he moved to a
house on the west end of the island and lived
there happily for 23 years. The ape did not like
visitors to come to the house.
6The elephant remained at Baby Beach for many
years and would go for a swim every day. Do any
of you remember going to Baby Beach and feeding
the elephant?
7Does anyone remember the name of the naturalist,
who also fancied himself a strong man and made
his home in one of the old Aruban houses? I
remember he was a man of little needs and did not
want for much, a little food and clean socks
everyday was all he needed.
8Betty Boop liked to go to the beach when the
naturalist came for a swim. She liked to look at
him but he paid little attention to Betty, at
first.
9Betty would get a little upset when the old fat
guy came to Palm Beach to do his exercise. Does
anyone remember the fat guys name? He did not
seem to disturb the naturalist. After the first
hotel was built, the government asked the fat guy
and the naturalist to find another beach, Betty
was allowed to continue to use the beach.
10Later, Betty got to be friends with the
naturalist and would go see him at his house.
Does any one know if Betty went to visit other
Bungalows?
11Remember the day the U. S. Navy sub came into
Baby Lagoon and watched Betty as she walked along
the beach?
12After leaving Baby Lagoon, the sub came into the
Big Lagoon and spent an hour or so while everyone
came down to the beach to take photos of the boat.
13How many of you remember this guy and his parrot.
Can any one name the parrot? Can anyone
remember the parrots favorite expression?
14Who remembers the old sailing ship that ran
aground on Indian Head Light reef. This was the
ship whose anchor was later retrieved along with
a cannon, and then both were lost. What was the
name of the ship?
15Remember the flock of birds that would fly over
the tanks on their yearly migration? This photo
was take when they were flying north. Does
anyone have a photo of them flying south?
16With the discovery of oil, the island of Aruba
should continue to prosper. This is the first of
what is expected to be 15 to 18 rigs off the
south shore of Aruba.
17REMEMBERING ARUBA

of the people living on the island at the time

from you, you are probably as crazy as I am. - HAVE A NICE DAY

18PS Someone sent a photo of the birds flying
south. They always followed the same flight path.
