UPDATE 2017: Brian Spitzer

This is weird as I was just looking at the reunion pictures before (yes before) your email.  I think I hear the Twilight Zone theme song in the background.  I also noticed I was only in one photo that I could see (I am camera shy?).  

The reunion for me was great as my first "official" reunion since graduation. I was, however, disappointed that none of the "military brats" showed up.  I have for some time tried to contact Larry and DeeDee Stillson, Peggy McClain, Susie Gerwig and others without any success. After I left for the Academy, Larry and DeeDee's dad committed suicide in his quarters on base at Hickam.  I did see Larry once when he was stationed at the army base as a medical corpsman in San Antonio in about 1972 after I returned from my Vietnam tour. Have not been able to find him since. I thought I heard that DeeDee married Chris Soares?

Anyway, I am two years into retirement, trying to travel while health is OK, playing tennis again, and enjoying Florida.  I am a "Admissions Liaison Officer" for the AF Academy and AFROTC (not a recruiter, BTW) but only mentoring those high school juniors and seniors that are interested in going to the AF Academy or AFROTC to become officers.  It has been fun to reconnect with high schoolers again.  Were we ever that young?

Appreciate your time and efforts for our class.  Many thanks.  

A photo or two?  Need to comb my hair?

UPDATE 2017: Tom Silva


Doing ok for now, I've been traveling with Cindy, but I continue to work for Chevron (full time) in my 9th year of retirement. Also continue to ride my road bike on the weekends. Oh, we did stop by and see Brian and Olena Spitzer  at their beautiful home in Florida last year.  We are enjoying watching our granddaughter grow up...really not much more to report.

I hope you are well and enjoying life.  Regards to all.
Tom

UPDATE 2017!


Do you believe it's been a year since our reunion?  Hope you all are doing well!

I thought I would send out an email to our class to see what they've been up to since then, and got a couple of replies:  one from Tom Silva, and one from Brian Spitzer.  Read on to see what they've been doing!
