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?
