Now & Then: Dorothy & Greg

Recreating a cherished Dragon memory
5 Jul 2026
90s Dragons

 

Celebrating 36 years of friendship, former prom dates Dorothy van Miert and Greg Maras (Class of 1992) returned to JIS for a stirring walk down memory lane — even recreating a photo at the exact same spot from 33 years ago. The longtime friends quickly fell into conversation as though no time had passed, reflecting on both cherished memories and the many changes around campus.

“So much has changed — crazy to see JIS now has an ambulance, bank, ATM machines, and elevators on campus! However, we’re lucky that the hut by the Dragon Fountain was still there, where Greg and I were able to take our photo together,” Dorothy said.

Dorothy now lives in Manila, while Greg has made Jakarta his home.
