Who can forget stacking lockers in addition to being placed upon a fountain?
The education at PHS was a good one and I'm sure we all made some life-long
friends, Buzz being one of them. I look at my kids now that I'm a
grandfather (2 times) and am thankful that they got through high school
without getting into drugs and they both graduated from college (University
of Tampa) on the same day (yes, it was expensive). The worst (best?) thing
we had was beer and going out to the strip mines in Ron Voss's car and going
swimming while consuming a cold beverage or three. I remember thinking Ron
and Char would get married and stay that way forever and I don't know if they
got married or not.
I survived Vietnam and wonder how many of my classmates didn't? I've been to
the Wall when I was doing some consulting in D.C. and cried for those that I
knew didn't make it and those that I didn't know.
I'm retiring in September of this year and my wife of 36 years and I are
taking off. We have a 36' Sailboat and we will be somewhere in the Caribbean
most of the time when were not back in Florida checking on the grandkids.
Unfortunately I will not be able to make to the reunion as I am traveling on
business and I just can't make it happen. I wish happiness and a long life
to all and my thoughts will be with all of you.
