† Merry Christmas - Happy New Year!! †
Dear Friends.....
This has been a momentous year for us - Our family grew by one more in April when Chase Daniel was born to my daughter, Allison; Our son, Kelly, turned 16 and started driving; and Danny and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary in September. Kelly, Danny, ex-son-in-law, Travis and I took a trip in July out west to the Grand Canyon - we also went to Meteor Crater, NM, Sedona, AZ and Lake Powell, AZ- we drove through Monument Valley, Utah, to Four Corners and then to Albuquerque where we caught the plane back to Florida. A very memorable trip!! * Kelly is a Junior in high school and also works in an Italian restaurant taking telephone orders and as a pizza chef. He is finally starting to think about what he wants to do after he graduates high school. * Daughter, Allison, 29, has four boys (Stephen 8, Cole 6, John Mason 2 and Chase Daniel 8 months) and lives in Jacksonville, Fl. She works as a secretary/bookkeeper at a Church. * Son, Mark, 28, is in the Air Force and is now stationed at Kunsan AFB, Korea. He is in plumbing and water treatment. He says it is a beautiful country but he's really feeling displaced. He's looking forward to his next assignment which he hopes will be somewhere in Europe. * Son, Kyle is 28 and is married and lives in Boca Raton with his wife and two little boys (Dylan 3 and Tony 2). Kyle is working for an electrical company and going to school to learn how to be an electrician. * Danny's son David lives in Austin, Texas and works at an automotive shop. * To celebrate our 20th anniversary Danny and I went to New York City, where we saw Miss Siagon and ate at a wonderful steak place named Gallaghers and after the play we ate at the Tavern on the Green. We walked all over and went to the top of the Empire State Building. * Also in September Allison and I visited San Antonio to see Allison's grandmother, Mrs. Mary Jane Pechuls. Our trip was short but we did get some quality time with Mimi. Unfortunately, Mimi passed away December 10th with her family (sons Brett, Chuck and daughter, Mary Jane) at her bedside. * While in San Antonio for the weekend I also got to visit with Mike Wysong, Karen Poor Peck, Carole McRae Richards and Janet Francis Jewett at Mike's house for dinner. I've posted a picture on the miscellaneous page (of the Ro-Hawk Web Page) of all of us. * In October I had laser eye surgery. I had been wearing tri-focals and I was very near sighted . The operation was a success - right after the surgery, on the way home in the car, I was reading license plates of the cars in front of our car. My vision has slightly regressed in my left eye and I'll have more surgery in a few months. However, I can walk around without my glasses, read and work. I just need a pair to drive. It is amazing!!! * At Thanksgiving, Danny, Kelly and I flew to visit my parents, Bill and Fran Campbell, in Somerset, Kentucky. Mom and Dad are in good health considering Mom is 77 and Dad just turned 80. Our trip was nice and we enjoyed the unusual warm weather. * Our family was all together for Christmas with all the kids (minus Mark) at our house. It was a very full house with all those grandsons! Greetings to all of you and hope for a Happy & Healthy New Year!!!
Congratulations to my husband Danny - on January 13th he will celebrate one whole year of not smoking!
Gloria, Danny and Kelly

http://members.aol.com/Gutsking/index.htm
E-mail addresses are listed on the page as well as biographies and personal notes and pictures. Thank you to all whom have sent updates and suggestions. We have been working very hard to make it enjoyable and have received a lot of positive feedback, however, it is still a work in progress. We have also been contacted by a lot of people from classes who graduated after the main group (Classes from the >70's and >80's) and some from the most recent classes. This has encouraged them to create a web page of their own and to organize a reunion that was held recently. A lot of the old newsletters have been scanned and you can access them through the web page.
+ NOTES FROM ALL OVER +
ALFRED AGUIRRE - Faculty - Chemistry (ARALGA123@aol.com) Mr. Aguirre lives in San Antonio, Texas. He retired from teaching in August, 1989 after 30 years in the classroom. He has un-retired twice. Once to sell camera equipment and now, to sell chemicals and lab equipment.
JEFF ANDERSON & JACKIE DARLING ANDERSON - Class of '63 & '64 (janderson@sprynet.com) Jackie wrote on 12/9/98 that she is "semi-retired" from law for a while. She is still working part time for a law firm/title company in historic Leesburg, VA - its only 15 minutes from the "country house". Jeff is the head of the Reston, VA office of Ciber, Inc., who recruits various talent for high-tech and government positions. Jackie enjoys not working "full tilt" and looks forward to real retirement! She is still quilting and spent her usual week in Houston, Texas at the International Quilt Festival, but this year she worked in the Education Office of the show instead of "playing" and taking classes. She is still very involved with the Colorado Quilting Council and does the publicity for the biennial symposium held in Estes Park every other year. Personal Note by Jackie: A Life in the country continues to be a lesson in life! We have had the worst drought in 30 years and the highest temperatures for fall/early winter for about the same amount of time. We have "critters" all over the place, looking for food and a place to nap! We have had most systems converted over to gas since electricity is too high, put utility and water lines down to the tractor barn, and installed a generator since power goes out all the time. We have started new landscaping and garden work and hope to get that under control in the spring, but who knows! I must confess, however, that even with all the work, etc., I like my quiet and solitude out here in the Blue Ridge and don't know if I will ever want to go back to "suburbia"… time will tell. (Wait and see how I feel after first huge blizzard!!!) * Youngest son, Reagan, is now in his first year of school in Kirksville, Missouri at the Kirksville School of Osteopathic Medicine. He had a tense first semester, but survived and is pretty proud of it. We visited with him at Thanksgiving, as well as a visit to Jeff's sister, Jill (also a Or-Hawk), in St. Louis. Great time. Our oldest, Shaun, and his wife, Trinity, are doing great in Colorado Springs. Trinity is a new CPA and has just started with a new firm and Shaun continues his job as Activities Director at one of the eldercare/ health care facilities. * My mother, Jane Darling, is active as usual, walking all over the place on her volksmarches and this spring we are planning a trip to England together to find old haunts from being stationed there in the early 60's. We decided we had better hurry since neither of us was getting any younger! Ha! Jeff's Dad is spry as ever and came for a visit when Reagan was home. The "boys" put a new storage room in our garage and it was nice to have all three generations at one time (and you can imagine how the political discussions went for three different generations....)

HARRY AMON: Class of >64 (theAmons@Yahoo.com) Harry lives with his wife, Penny, and their daughter, Bailey Jane (12 2) in Austin, TX.
JERRY & CALLA GIBSON BALL - Representing the Class of '65 & '67 (Jcrsdj@aol.com) Jerry and Calla and their family live at Scott AFB, IL. Jerry graduated from Air Force Academy and received his M.A. in Economics from UCLA.

WARD BEIGHTOL - Class of '65 (wbeightol@nations.net) - Ward lives in Summerville, South Carolina and retired April 1, 1998 from the Air Force. He is now enjoying golfing, racquet ball, tennis, taking the boat and jet ski to the lake or ocean, and taking care of the family's investments.

RON BERGQUIST - Class of '64 (bergquist@ac.net AND bergr@ils.unc.edu) Ron and his wife, Dru live in Pinebluff, NC. He is retired but still in school at UNC He is also in the PhD program in information science. Personal Note: A At the risk of admitting that I'm an old fart, I have to report that I am a member of The Retired Officers Association. In the December issue of TROA, however, I noticed the name of Lt Col Carroll J. Moench of Texas. Mr. Moench was our physics teacher in 63-64 and I am sure he did not recall us idiots fondly. Nonetheless, I did learn something about angular moment and velocity from him. I just finished up my school work for the semester and am now starting on my Master's thesis so I can get my MSLS in May and start in on the PhD program in the fall. Last September, I was asked to be a Graduate Assistant on a National Institutes of Health grant to study how computer scientists, physicists, chemists, and gene therapy specialists collaborate while using an atomic force microscope. It's a fascinating learning experience being around these folks. They are working on incredibly tiny objects like DNA, proteins, and carbon buckytubes which are measured at the nano scale. Their site at http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/nano/ does a pretty good job of explaining the project.
GUY BLAIR - Class of '65 (guy.blair@intel.com) Guy and Martha live in Beaverton, OR with daughter Karen, age 5. After he earned his Ph.D. Guy pursued research in astronomy in the Netherlands, the east coast and Colorado. At present he manages a research lab at Intel which is developing new technologies with Microsoft for doing live multimedia over the internet. Personal note: My Hawaiian Vacation - Summer 1998: First I learned how to pronounce Kauai. You pronounce it like Hawaii, except with a K. We stayed at three different places, two on Poipu (sunny south shore) and one it Kapaa (eastern shore). We rented snorkeling stuff from Snorkel Bob's for the whole week and drove to a different beach every day as well as cooling off in the pool. There are something like 300 different fish in these waters, although we didn't see more than 50-60. We saw at least one sea turtle every day, one freaked me out by swimming up behind me in just 5 feet of water heading out to sea...! We took two snorkeling/boat trips, both up the western (very remote) Na Pali coastline, which is only accessible in the summer (40-50 foot waves in the winter). There are cliffs and green prehistoric looking mountains just rising our of the ocean and tons of water falls. Our boat was a 10 person Zodiac raft, like the Green Peace folks use. It's very fast and very bumpy. We went into a couple of sea caves, one through a waterfall. After 5-6 hours, everyone had really sore behinds, but it was fun and we got to snorkel in a remote ancient tribal village for about an hour. The other trip was on a big catamaran which was still pretty fast and exciting for such a big "civilized" boat. They had a nice buffet and we even backed up into a 100 foot waterfall to get every one wet before snorkeling. The big canyon area (Wimea canyon: a mini grand canyon) get's more rainfall than any other place on the planet (450 inches a year). Hence, the importance of staying on the SUNNY southern coast.@
BILL BORELLIS - Class of '64 (BBORELLIS@aol.com) Bill lives in Woodland Hills, CA. He still has his own insurance and consulting business. He also teaches economics at ITT Tech. He is also attending school trying to finish up his MBA in Technology Management, with graduation on May 8th. He is also looking into the PHD programs. Bill has a three children: Jade (a senior in high school who is a volleyball genius), Rachel, 13 and in 8th grade who plays basketball like her Daddy, and Jared who is in elementary school and has his own agenda. Bill will be spending Christmas with his family in Las Vegas with sister, Sherry and his Mom and Dad.

He travels to different posts throughout Europe and will be traveling soon to Bosnia and Hungary. Alexa is working on becoming a certified personal trainer in weight training and cardiovascular fitness. She hopes to have her license in February 1999.

Their other daughter, Leah, has two children, Lexi and Samuel and lives in Neosho, MO with her husband, Phil. The whole family will be in Germany for the Holidays. Whizzy is a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association. Personal Note: 12/2/98: Hey Gloria!! I bet you thought I dropped off the face of the earth!! Well, almost. I got back from my month long visit to the states last month, just before Thanksgiving. We didn't get to visit everyone in San Antonio as planned because Alexa's mother died while we were in Columbia, SC at the school I had to attend. It was totally unexpected and really devastated the family. We had Thanksgiving alone this year, but it was good and we needed the rest! The girls, and grandkids are coming over here for Christmas, and this gives us something to really look forward to. The job here is very demanding but rewarding, so time flies by. I still ride the Motorcycle to work most days, even dodging snow flakes now and then!!
DICKIE BUCHERT O=BANION - Class of '64 (DickieOB@aol.com) Personal note: AA quick update on our family: Mom and Dad are still doing well, up into their late 70's and happy, healthy and together. My sister, Toni, is in Ft. Worth, divorced, and doing very well. Our children are growing up. Our daughter is a sophomore in college and our son a senior in high school. Next year our home will be empty. Yucch. I don't think I'm going to do the "empty nest" thing very gracefully. But what's new? I don't do change of any kind gracefully I'm finding. Thank goodness Melbourne is a rock and is keeping me on course, helping me to remember that this is why we had children and brought them up, right?@
TONI BUCHERT GREECE - Class of >63 (italy91@email.msn.com) Personal Note: AGloria: what fun to get email. It never ceases to amaze me the changes in technology these days. I am working as a corporate account executive with PageMart Wireless (telecommunications). My kids: my oldest Marc (31) is married now 2 years and promises me that I will be a grandma in 2000. I can hardly wait. My youngest Michelle (30) if FINALLY ENGAGED. Wedding is next year in the fall. God forbid she should rush into this or anything. But her fiancé was truly worth waiting for. Reared the kids to be independent and they have both taken it to heart. Marc works in New York and is going to school again in Audio Visual field to work in broadcasting he hopes and Michelle is office manager for a series of auto body shops. Have 3 step kids from the second marriage. Got rid of the father, kept the kids. They are 28, 23, and 18 now and I spent the last 10 years helping raise them.

Chad (23) works for Harrigans Restaurants here in Ft Worth and Amy (18) has just graduated from High School and we have no earthly idea what she is going to do with her life. It will be interesting to see!! Otherwise, all is rather mundane in my life and frankly I like it that way. Spend my free time in my rose garden or doing needlework or cooking. God I am really getting old when these pastimes have become fulfilling!! Keep in touch and I'll do the same. Affection Toni@

Pippa is doing marketing for a bank. That basically means she plans parties, galas, and social events....which she says she came out of the womb knowing how to do. She enjoys that, but isn't crazy about the banking business itself. She occasionally makes law school noises, but probably has to get fed up enough before she makes up her mind to apply. Pippa is dating a couple of guys, but nothing serious. Our other daughter, Chelsea is a junior at Tulane, majoring in art history. She plans to go to Oxford for graduate school, at Pembroke College, the same college at Oxford that her dad attended for part of medical school. She has been dating a guy for a year, and seems pretty serious about him, but has a lot of school to worry about before we start planning weddings. (Sounds like a mom, right?) We have been doing a fair amount of traveling, some of it for pleasure, but most for medical-political meetings. As my husband, Bob, is no longer in clinical practice due to his illness ten years ago (hard to believe it is that long), he is able to take a lot of time to meet with legislators that someone still active practice could not. I am still on the Memorial Hermann Foundation Board, and currently working on underwriting for our annual gala to be held the end of January. Last week, some of the other Board members and I took a two hour helicopter ride around the Houston metroplex to view the ten hospitals and some office buildings in the health care system. It was really fun........

The following is a letter I received on the Web Page from 1998 Randolph High School Graduate - Dan Hamilton:
Dear Mrs. Gallagher:
On behalf of the Class of 1998, I'd like to congratulate you for proving once and for all that just because you may leave the halls of Randolph, they never leave you. It was indeed a pleasure to come across this web site one night after our recent graduation. With the impending scatter of all of my friends and fellow graduates to all corners of the globe (we have Ro-Hawks going as far as Japan to begin their undergraduate studies), it has become important to me that we keep in touch. This was my main motivation for registering with ClassMates, and I am glad to see that your effort to unite classmates even after 30+ years is coming to fruition. Not much has changed at Randolph since the founding of the school. The principal, Bruce Cannon '69, is now firmly settled into the reigns, and many members of the coaching staff are also Ro-Hawk graduates. The greatest change over the last year was the removal of the blue bricks from the gym wall and the front of the school office (the weight was pulling down the walls of the gym). As a gift to all graduating seniors this year, the school gave these bricks with engraved plaques attached stating the school name and our year of graduation. This really brought home to me the loyalty I have to this school, and I am happy to see, as evidenced by your web page, that that feeling does not diminish with time. I wish you continued success in the future.
Sincerely, Dan Hamilton '98
