When I first started watching the video, i felt a bit jealous of the lifestyle and enviroment where u grew up. By the end of the video that was forgotten and i got jealous of the way u see life and how u "never quit". I wish i could be a bit more like u, become stronger and have the will to change my life the way i want it to be. I think u and ur family are role models and i loved the video and how it inspires. I wish u and ur family the best!! pura vida! - Sol, from Argentina

Uplifting video. I'm also a CZ brat from 1965 through 1972 when I graduated from Balboa HS. My dad was also a pilot, and oddly enough, was also the navigator on the SS Independence, the sister ship of the SS United States before he became a pilot. I currently live in the Philly area, where I can see the SS United States docked at the piers. Unfortunately, it's not in great shape. I'm assuming your dad was Kings Point grad like mine. Glad to see you've followed your heart.

Hi Gerry! God it is good to see you and your family in this video doing so well! Gerry I especially,this Thankgiving season want to commend your truly heroic effort...by you and your family who stood fast and with you and helped you regain, retrain, regroup, right! Like a good tough Airborne soldier that you were and a fine Naval Officer in service to our country in Panama and elsewhere! Congrats and truly a "job well done" Gerry. Th Viking in Panama..Hooahhh!Airborne, All the Way! Doug Olsson

I agree with the message of his, and im very impressed of his courage, But the only part I disagree with is the way you call your birthplace a "junglehome" it makes an impression that Panama is a not civilized country. My respect for your dad

Hi Karina,I was very moved by your video, specially since I had the honor to know your father and also had the great opportunity of working with him as a Panama Canal Pilot. I also express my sadness for his illness since I'll always remember him as an almost perfect man, physically and mentally. As I remember many anecdotes about Captain Petroni I would say that quitting was never an option for him. It's a proud video about a great man, God bless and good sailing. Capt. Peter Pusztai

Hi Karina,

Your video is wonderful! You did a great job honoring your parents and the life we all had in the Zone. While you don't know me, our parents were friends. My parents, Capt. Lenny and Ardice Bell thought the world of both your folks. My dad, too, was originally from just outside Boston and a runner. Your mom was a good friend to mine. While both my parents have been gone for a number of years, it's nice to see the triumphs of their friends. My best to you & your family.

Karina, What a great entry! I am a Zonian. Was there for the riots in the sixties and later visited my family of whom my dad worked as a lockmaster at Miraflores. I have brothers and sisters that went to school there also.I went back every year to visit every year while they were there. My mom still goes to visit her family.They were there from 69 til the war.

Karina,

You have an amazing story of your wonderful family, and I enjoyed your narration.

As another Zonian, well familiar with Gatun, it brings back many wonderful memories listening to your stories.

I look forward to seeing other posts from you on the "Tube."

Kindest regards,

a "GamboaGuy"

Awesome contribution Karina. Brought a tear to my eye. Well Done Jerry. I remember your family well. I worked at Cristobal High School in the office a number of years. Last time I saw Eric he was producing and selling T-shirts at the PCC Reunion.

Congratulations on your success. Way to go..!! Nicki (Harper) Dawson

Enjoyed the program.

Hi Karina & Erik,what an excellent job y'all did for Capt Jerry and his crew. As you know we are very close. My success as an ocean master would never have happened had it not been for his foot in my "fantail" some 45 years ago in the Deck Officers' course. How many times did he tell me "NEVER QUIT" when I wanted to drop out. I may be 80, but I know what a pretty woman looks like on a surfboard-thanks to you. I love that Petroni crew! Smooth sailing, Capt Sarge
