| My wife and her sister with her grandson, at Escuela Estados Unidos, 2006 |
My last post about my wife and her elementary school reminded me of this story.
Panama City years ago named its elementary schools after various countries. My wife attended Escuela Estados Unidos. (This school was 0.6 mile from the Canal Zone, then under United States control.) The United States ambassador made a yearly visit to the school. The students would assemble and sing to him The Star Spangled Banner, in English.

| While in Plaza Francia in Casco Viejo in 2006, we met these students from Escuela Estados Unidos on a field trip. Note their school badge, with the United States Coat of Arms. |
