We are a gathering of extraordinary individuals who met under
extraordinary circumstances. Coming of age in a small high school in
Morocco decades ago, we have something unique in common, and decades
later it has somehow never left us. We are the Sultans of Thomas Mack
Wilhoite/Kenitra American High School. Be it the first graduating class
of three Seniors in 1956 to the last Class of 1976, our experiences as
students were sharply tuned to our environment. We were not strangers in
a strange land; we were welcomed by the Moroccan people as if we were
visiting relatives. The sights, sounds, tastes and smells of Morocco
were absorbed by hundreds of students no matter what span of years we
were there. We can all relate, and laugh at, similar experiences of our
teenage years growing up in and around Kenitra/Port Lyautey, Mehdia
Beach, Rabat, and other nearby military bases. Within this book are the
memories of those days as told by the former students and teachers of
our school.
