Photo of the Week
September 10, 2023
I spent two days this past week cleaning out a closet that I have much
of my collection of Canal Zone "stuff" in. I found this
sheet of paper which had some notes from what appears to be a history
class that I must have been taking at Canal Zone College. It
almost got pitched until I unfolded it and flipped it over. To my
surprise, here is an old flyer from the "PUB", our old hang
out. The flyer isn't in the best of shape, but I am so pleased to
see that this piece of Canal Zone history has survived all these
years. No year is marked on the flyer, but I was attending Canal
Zone College in 1971 and 1972 and with my class notes on the reverse of
the flyer, I would say the flyer is from that time frame. The
write up at the top of the page is priceless. What an array of
crappy beer. They did have Cerveza Panama and am not sure why it
isn't listed. US beer through the years in the Canal Zone was
spoiled been and tasted terrible. After sitting in a shipping
container and for how long and in the heat, I would drink my
Panama Beer anytime over the US beer. Note the absence of a magic
marker and the scribble letters.
Now to put the icing on the cake, below
are scans of my 1972 - 1973 membership card, front and back.
