Dear Ro-Hawks:

A lot has happened since June 2000 when we had the last Reunion. I have been really busy and I have to apologize to you for not writing sooner. I hope I can remember to fill you in on all that has happened in the last year and a half.

First of all, you will see enclosed in this package is an email from Mark Chauret – Class of ’73 – regarding renaming the Randolph High School Football Stadium to Robert Mickler Memorial Stadium. I’m sure you will find the email interesting and you will want to be part of this effort.

My parents (Bill and Fran Campbell) moved to Air Force Village I near Lackland AFB in April 2001 – they sold their house in Somerset, Kentucky (a house my mom bought with her parents in the early 40’s) and moved south to Texas. They are living in a high rise condo and they are actually loving it. I am too because they have all the conveniences that they will ever need. I have been out there 3 times since then and I love that I can get to the San Antonio Airport and 15 minutes later I can be at their new home. In Kentucky, it took 2 ½ hours to get to their house from Lexington where I had to fly into. They can see Wilford Hall Hospital from their complex and don’t have to travel all the way to Lexington to get good medical care. Believe me – this is a blessing for all of us. Mom just turned 80 in June – she’s doing pretty good, but she has had some scary times with her blood pressure. Dad is doing great and still drives that motorcycle – he’ll be 83 this year in December. He is actually the only person in the “Village” that has a motorcycle and they created a special place for him to park his cycle. Danny and I went to Germany this May for our vacation – we visited Dusseldorf, Rothenberg, Garmisch, Heidelberg,Weisbaden and other places and castles in between. We boated down the Rhein – visited the Nuenswanstine Castle (Fairy Tale Castle) and the place where my family used to live in 1953-56 in Weisbaden. Danny got to see where his mom lived in Frankfurt – We spent 10 wonderful days traveling in our rented alfa romeo speeding down the autobahn at over 100 mph – picture that – I don’t even get on the expressway here!!!!

Danny’s son, David (26) just got married this past weekend in Austin toTiffany. They have a 7 month old daughter, Summer. This is Danny’s first biological granddaughter and we are so happy to see her again. My oldest, Allison (32), had her 5th child in December – A GIRL!!!!! Her name is Makenna – she was welcomed into the family by Stephen 11, Cole 9, Mason 5 and Chase 3 and proud Daddy, Marwin. Allison not only is a mom to her 5 kids, but she works as a church secretary and bookkeeper for the local chapter of the Gator Club and also coordinates the Sunday School teachers at her church. Son, Mark (31) and his wife, Chong Ok are now at Dover AFB and will be coming here in August on their way to their new assignment, Japan. They have a son, Alan Hanul who is 1 ½. Of course, Mark is in the Air Force and works in water treatment and plumbing. Kyle (31) and his wife, Donna live near here in Boca Raton – they have two boys, Dylan 6 and Tony 5. Kyle is an electrician. They are all doing wonderful.

Our youngest son, Kelly (19) received a full tuition scholarship to New England Institute of Technology in West Palm Beach in architectural drafting – he’s been working since he was 15 at local pizza restaurants. Today (7/17) he started his first “real” job in drafting. He will be working all day and then going to school at night. He’s excited and we are jumping for joy and we are so proud of him. I’m still working in Boca Raton as a legal secretary – Danny is working in West Palm Beach as a finance director at a BMW dealership. We have been busy renovating our home – after 20 years, it really needs it.

I’m sending this out fast and I know I will not be able to put EVERYTHING in this newsletter but I needed to tell you guys a few things. So enjoy this “mini” newsletter and be patient with me – I haven’t updated the web page – I really need to learn how to do it and stop relying on my ex-son in law to do it. It is getting way to complicated for me – but eventually, I will get it all together.

Love and Peace, Gloria

† Merry Christmas - Happy New Year!! †

Dear Friends.....this has been some year - hasn't it? I can't believe it will be the year 2000 in just a few days. I'm starting off the new year with a new job at a new law firm. I was employed for 12 2 years at the previous one! Onward and upward - right??? In March my father had open heart surgery in Lexington, KY. While I was there taking care of my Mom and Dad - I got to have lunch with Gene Holt. Fortunately, my father has recuperated quite well and is back to riding the countryside on his motorcycle. My daughter, Allison turned 30 this year. Now she is officially older than I am! She and her husband just moved into a new home in Jacksonville with their 4 little boys. My son Mark was stationed in Korea in the Air Force and returned stateside via Hawaii with a lovely Korean wife, Chong Ok. They are now stationed in Dover, Delaware and are expecting a baby March 7th. In July, my husband, son and I flew to San Francisco. We drove south to Pebble Beach and Carmel - then over the state to Yosemite National Park. What a beautiful place! We then drove to Lake Tahoe, then north to Chico - where I visited with an elementary school girlfriend of mine - then we went west to Ft. Bragg and Mendocino. From there we drove south along the Pacific Coast Highway finally ending up back in San Francisco where we spent the last 2 days of our week's vacation. Whew! I got to speak on the phone with David McDowell (who had just re-married) while we were in Lake Tahoe (he lives in Reno) and I talked with Gary Erickson while in San Francisco. My mom had her left knee replaced in July. She's doing OK and hopefully she'll be able to get up and around soon without any problems. We visited Mom and Dad for Labor Day and for Thanksgiving - Mom baked some goodies which are always welcome by me - especially her special pralines! Danny and I had our 21st anniversary in September. Our son, Kelly, is a Senior in High School and will graduate in May 2000. He will be going to Cancun for his Senior Trip! What's up with that? Last, but not least, my other son, Kyle and his wife just celebrated their 5th anniversary and both their little boys are healthy and very, very active. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas Holiday and a Great New Year's Eve.

I don't know if we will have a Reunion in 2000- it depends on you. I don't think I will have any time off before June anyway with my new job - but anyone who wants the job of putting this together - contact Carole McRae Richards, Janet Francis Jewett and/or Karen Poor Peck. Their e-mail addresses are further on down in the newsletter. Your involvement will be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, keep me posted on what is going on with you. I'll try to keep you posted with any breaking news through e-mail. Take care,
Gloria, Danny and Kelly

+ NOTES FROM ALL OVER +

"I am in the throes of trying to finish my masters paper by the middle of the month without simultaneously blowing the other courses I'm taking. Dru built us a new homepage to replace my pathetic one at school. I'm still plugging away in the doctoral program, trying to prepare a paper for publication and working to focus in on my research topic. I am continuing to be a research assistant on a computer supported collaborative work project involving physicists, chemists, medical researchers, and computer scientists. This project will last until at least 2001, so I guess that's what I'll be doing until then."

She has been enjoying her last year at Louisville H.S. Rachel is very active with basketball. I, of course, help out with the coaching chores. It is a pretty good thing for me, but time consuming, as you know. Rachel is trying to get into Louisville - she is really a live wire and very unpredictable! But cute and very warm. Moody though! Jared is trudging through 3rd grade. ... he is extremely bright and worldly (street sense). He's also an outstanding athlete. My teaching is going well. I teach 3 classes a day: split shift ... 9‑10AM, 1‑2PM and 7‑8PM...what a day! In between I pick up Jared & Rachel from school; study for my own schooling and maintain my book of clients (consulting & insurance). That's about it.... Oh Christmas (1998) at Sherry's house was neat and wonderful. Only one mishap in that Dad suffered a small heart attack while he was gambling at the Mirage. He spent a few days in the hospital in Las Vegas. Seems to be relatively OK now and is back in SA. Everything is pretty neat these days.

TERESA DeARZA CUSHING Class of '66 Cushing.teresa@epa.gov Jan 15, 1999 - Hi Gloria, You are to be applauded for all your good work and tenacity to keep this going all these years. You did not receive a Xmas card from me this year because I did not send one (not even one) to anyone. It has been such a busy year for us, we worked all during the holidays except the actual holiday and I just returned today from a two week executive course in Sheppardstown, West Virginia. Just to let you know there are five of us Rohawks meeting in San Antonio the second week in June. I have worked with Judy Minor to get this going (she did most of the work), I just helped her track down two of the people. Anyway, Carole O'Brien, Judy Minor, Jill Anderson, and Jodie Hargus and myself are spending four days together on the San Antonio River. It has been over 30 years since any of us have seen Jill and Jody so we are really excited. Jodie actually lived in Vegas the whole time I was there and I never had a clue. All is fine here. Pat Manganello (Fales), Jan Ownbey (Link) and I still try and get together as often as possible. CONGRATULATIONS to Teresa and Geoff - they will be getting married in Las Vegas on January 1, 2000!

LINDA EDGARIAN DENHAM 1/18/99 DEFTED@aol.com "I had met a fabulous fellow in 1966 ‑ 1968 at RAFB while I was singing with a folk song group in the building next to Chapel One. Earl Denham was a one man singing act there at the time. To make a very long story short, he left for the Vietnam War that was going on, and we lost contact for 30 years. In the summer of 1997, he told me that he had loved me for 30 years and he had been looking for me for years, and he finally found me on a computer one summer night while he was typing the final exam for a college course he was teaching ! He thought I was still married, (from when he had found out about me before), so he had a friend call me to find if it would be OK if he called to just find out if I was happy. We found that we both were divorced in 1995, that we both have two children about the same ages, (and the other countless similarities and unique happenings boggle the mind) and that we still had everything in common, as if the 30 years had been a blink of an eye. We are very happily married and have been so for a year and a half. When he found me, he had retired from the Air Force as a Major, and was working for the National Petroleum Refiners Assoc. in Wash, D.C. and living in VA. I lived in Austin, Tx. where I had been a school teacher for 25 years. He was in the process of taking the job to run the Fuel System for O'Hare International Airport in Chicago when we met again and got married, so Chicago is where we are at this time."

GARY ERICKSON - Class of '64 LOGOMORPH@aol.com Gary and his significant other, Rose, went to Utah where they launched their kayaks into the Green River and followed it for sixty five miles over a period of four days and ended up in Cody, Wyoming. They returned home through Yellowstone, into Idaho and Nevada and back to San Francisco.

MIKE FAUSETT - Class of '65 - Mike and his wife Diana were on the move again last year. They took their daughter, Shannon and her husband for a week in Maui. His group of guys went to Canada again for their annual fishing trip and are set to go again July 4th. You can see a picture of Mike and an anonomous fish on the web page.

MIKE FITZPATRICK: As some of you already know, Mike passed away in September in Los Angeles. I'm sure you join me in sending your sympathies to his family, Wife, Denise Etchemendy Fitzpatrick and their children, Billy 28, Teddy 25, Shannon 19 and John 15. Also, our prayers are with his brother, Bill and mom and dad Bill and Ruby Fitzpatrick.

JANET FRANCIS Class of '64 Jjewett@pdq.net Janet's moved back down to Houston - now she is closer to her sons and her grandbabies.

BONNIE HORNE McKEEVER - Class of '64 bonniem@ttsscpa.com Bonnie lives in Tulsa, OK. "Thought I would let you know I survived the "busy season" and actually thrived. Of course all I did was work seven days a week and nothing else got done. The night the tornadoes hit Okla City was a real thrill in Tulsa too. Our tornado was much smaller in intensity. Spent most of the night with the sirens going off and in my powder room on ground floor. I visited my dad in Norman last month and got a look at some of the damage. You couldn't tell what the buildings had been. Actually most of the area was just leveled. Nothing but streets and driveways. It did resemble the bomb site in many ways. My youngest, Paul, will be starting law school in Wyoming in the fall. Guess he just loves being poor and in debt!! His brother, Matt, is still here in Tulsa and takes good care of his mom. He's a nurse technician and works at St. Francis Hospital with the neurology department. My oldest, John, works for Gill Industries in Grand Rapids, MI as the IS person. He says he's the computer guy! You can imagine his distress at me not having a home computer, but I'm working on it as quickly as I can. Now if he and Amy would just get busy and have me some babies .......!!"

GENE HOLT - while I was visiting with Gene in Lexington earlier this year, I discovered that he had suffered a heart attack. He is doing well now. There are pictures posted on the web page of Gene and me.

KAREN KNOX -Class of '64 aqc3@msn.com Karen's son Joel is at Oral Roberts for Premed this year.

SUSAN LIVINGSTON JOHNSON - Class of >64 marykayangel@bwn.net and the web pages is: http://www.mkinet.com/14/sjohnson10.html Sue lives in Leadville, Colorado in a historic home built in 1888. Daughter, Amy became a flight attendant with United and is based in Denver. Her son, Mike is studying computer science and astro-physics at CU-Boulder. Sue has 20 months in with Mary Kay Skin Care and Cosmetics. She is doing this full time now and achieved Queen's Court of Sales and received a diamond ring at the seminar in Dallas this year. Her home has also been chosen to be in the Christmas Victorian Home Tour this year.

PAT MANGANELLO FALES - Class of '66 dfales@ix.netcom.com pat@patfales.com "Life is good in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC...in spite of the antics going on in congress at the moment! We have a new grandson, Dylan Patrick, who is almost 8 months old. He has everyone wrapped around his little finger already! He lives in Richmond with his parents, our son and daughter in law, so he is only about an hour and a half from us. We go down to visit as often as we can...but it is never enough. Life in real estate keeps me busy. I now have a staff of 5 who work with me to take care of the administrative end so, even though we are doing a substantial amount more business, I am not totally crazed. I still love it ‑ every day is a new challenge. Can't imagine doing anything else."

DAVID McDOWELL - Class of '65 Clutchpapa@aol.com David lives in Reno, Nevada. He recently was remarried to Dianne - whom he met on the Internet! Their wedding pictures should be on our RHS Home Page. "Just wondering about the next big one coming up... 35 years... any plans yet?? Also ‑ just bought a new house recently in Reno"

CAROLE McRAE RICHARDS - Class of '64 carole.richards@usaa.com Carole lives in San Antonio and works for USAA Insurance. "The Reunion. Karen and I have been working on it when time permits. The first place we wanted to have the Reunion at fell through simply because of the huge cost of having it there. Tentative plans as they stand now are to have a simple dinner on Saturday night downtown on the river at one of the hotels or restaurants. That way after dinner and the business meeting, everyone can go and do their own thing. Friday night we thought we'd all meet up at a place called the Far West Rodeo for drinks, dancing, talking, etc. (We've lost our contacts at the base so we can't meet at the Officer's Club anymore) If the guys want to play golf, maybe they ( Mike Wysong, Tom Madsen, Jeff Lindley) can arrange something. We'll have more definitive information after the middle of January. We've tentatively picked the weekend of June 23rd‑25th, depending on availability of dinner places, etc. Let us know what you think. OK PEOPLE - write to Carole and tell her what you think. If you want a reunion this year then we all have to pitch in - contact Carole at her e-mail or write to her at: 14121 Churchill Estates Blvd., #301, San Antonio, TX 78248. "My daughter Laura is pregnant and due to deliver on or around December 27th. So my plane leaves here on January 3rd and I return to S.A. on January 16th. I'm looking forward to the trip. The sonograms show the baby to be a girl, so you know Mom and I are tickled PINK!! Of course, I've had to stop myself from buying everything I see. However, I have done some serious damage to my budget. Oh well, you only live once so might as well enjoy it while you can. My boss retired on October 29th and they gave me two new bosses to do the work of the old one. On top of that, they decided that we needed to move to consolidate everyone together, so this past week‑end we moved 50 feet (a chinese firedrill) and had to pack and then unpack. What fun!!! As of today, I'm finally unpacked and settled in kinda‑sorta. It will get better. Haven't found another position yet. Will have to delay my search until after I return from California. I know the right thing will come along at the right time., it always does. Mom and Dad are fine. Fat and sassy as ever. Both are excited about the new great‑grandbaby. All in all things here are fine, hectic but fine."

ART NIGRO - Class of '65 sbanigro@magna.com.au Art and his wife Sheila are still in Australia and are busy getting ready for the Olympics 2000. Please note the new e-mail address. Art is hoping to retire soon from the hotel business and move to Virginia and do some hotel consulting. Their daughter is engaged!

JUDY (O'NEILL) WOODRUFF (Class '64) SopRBronco@aol.com This year, I have joined the list of "empty nesters" and am loving every minute of it. They are always home‑‑so don't think you are ever truly an empty nester. Amy, 27, is now in cosmetoloy school and has two children‑‑Kayla, 7 and Christian, 3. Stacy, 20, is a junior at CU majoring in three biologies which I can't even pronounce. Future plans are vet school and Krissy, my youngest, now 18 is going to the University of Northern Colorado hoping to transfer to Colorado State Univeristy next year to be a part of the equestrian team. I think her major is "party". She is the horse lover and I am sure will always be. As for me, I am still in Franktown, south of Denver, on my little farm with 5 dogs and 5 cats and my tractor and still single. I ventured into the world of real estate and love it. This is a great location and the market is great. People are looking to escape from the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of country living. I am a big BRONCOS fan and got season tickets about 9 years ago. I blame the Ro‑Hawks for turning me into a football fanatic. Although, I don't know how you could live in Denver and not be a Bronco fan. I just started training for United and will have those wonderful benefits plus will have vacation time by then. Just let me know the week so I can bid the time. I am so excited with being back with the airlines. Have really missed the travel and atmosphere the airport brings. I am training for ticketing and gate agent. Have my schedule till December and can even go to six of the Bronco games. My PRIORITY!!! Have Nov and Dec with Sundays off. Girls are busy working this summer‑‑Krissy will be going to CSU next year and Stacy will graduate from CU. Can hardly believe that!!! I can't be getting that old.

PAM PRATT VILES - Class of '65 pviles@pdq.net "My elder daughter, Pippa, is getting married in August. He is a never‑married 32 year old Navy vet, whom the Marines are sending to law school. He graduates in May and takes the bar in July. Sometime after the wedding he goes to Quantico for six months and Rhode Island for three. Both are considered TDY assignments (although the Marines call it something different), so it is a bit unclear what Pippa will do during that time. After that he will join the Judge Advocate General's office, and she will be a military wife. As she is my stay close to home kid, this should be interesting. I find it difficult to understand her concerns, as I still think that when a light bulb burns out, it is time to pack. She, of course, grew up in the same house her whole life. Foreign concept to us, huh?????????" This past March, Pam and a few of her friends flew over to Sydney, Australia for a girls vacation. Luckily they stayed in the hotel that Art Nigro runs so they have an awesome time. Unfortunately, Pam lost her debit card to an ATM machine and got stuck in the hotel elevator. She had dinner with Art and his wife, Sheila.They stayed on the 24th floor with a spectacular view over the Harbour Bridge and the Opera house. They stayed in Sydney, Port Douglas and Cairns and had a marvelous time. I've posted pictures of Pam, Art and Sheila on our Web Page.

We all rode our scooters around going to the base theatre for 15 cent movies etc., the base snack bar for 35 cent hamburgers, up to the top of the Taj Mahal and out to the golf course for fun and games (riding the golf carts for $2 for nine holes ( when we didn't even play golf) while on the way watching the aircraft taxi by. Oh how those were the real days! Unbelievable!!! I will forever cherish those times! Thanks again, Go RoHawk Football!

† 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. He had tours at Brooks AFB in the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory and Viet Nam where he spent eighteen months in the Advanced Research Projects Agency and Randolph AFB and the DC area.

Jerry will retire from active Air Force on July 1, 1999.
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. He has also been coaching soccer and baseball at the Y. He=s making the best of his Afree@ time. Ward=s nieces, Bill=s daughters, continue to succeed: In May, Julie graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas A&M and received her degree in Biology - she=s now working on her secondary certification and wants to teach.

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.
BILL AWHIZZY@ BROOME - Class of '65 (WK: broomew@hq.hqusareur.army.mil HM: whizlex@hotmail.com) Alexa and Whiz moved to Heidelberg, Germany this year, where Whizzy is the assignments and personnel officer for the Chaplains in Europe (he=s an Army Chaplain). 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. Daughter, Marci is in Columbia, SC going to college and working at the state treasurer=s office. 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@

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.

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

HAPPY SUMMER!!!My Dear Dear Friends.....Hope you all are enjoying a great year!! A new baby arrived for my daughter, Allison - her fourth boy, CHASE DANIEL who joins older brothers, Stephen (8) Cole (5 «) and Mason (2).. Of course, my husband, Danny has fallen in love with his namesake. Allison has turned into a wonderful woman, wife and mother. We are so proud of her. That make six grandsons!! All the other kids are doing great - Mark is still in the Air Force but has decided that the service has too many rules and will terminate his relationship with Uncle Sam at the earliest opportunity. He has decided however, to stay in North Florida. Our other son, Kyle, works for two restaurants - works too hard to support his young family. His sons, Dylan and Tony are growing and developing wonderfully. Our youngest son, Kelly , gets his driver's license in July - He is doing pretty good - we made him take professional driving lessons on top of both of us teaching him. We are real proud of him also - he has learned to make good decisions and I don't think he feels that we are too strict on him although he does test the limits as all teens do. He loves to surf and wakeboard - we are lucky to be near the ocean and lakes for him to be able to do both. He bought a truck that he is dying to take out by himself and he'll probably throw the surfboard in the back of the truck and head for the beach the minute he gets the driver's license. He also plays the guitar and dreams of being in a band. Doesn't that all sound so familiar? As a treat in a few weeks we will be attending the METALICA concert as a family. (Kelly had to stand in line and pay for his tickets - me and Dan have free box seats! We are taking a family vacation in July - we depart Ft. Lauderdale on July 4th and fly to Albuquerque, NM - drive to Sedona, Arizona, then on to the Grand Canyon, then on to Lake Powell - back to Albuquerque and fly home on the 12th of July. We are pretty excited about our trip. Kelly turns 16 on July 21st and Danny and I celebrate our 20th Anniversary on September 15th. How better to celebrate than at the Grand Canyon??!!The only thing new with me is that I have braces on my teeth. Hopefully, I'll be finished with all this dental work by the Reunion in 2000! Boy what a pain! I'm sorry I made fun of all you guys that wore braces in high school -My parents BILL & FRAN CAMPBELL are doing very well. Dad will be 80 years old in December (still riding around on his motorcycle). My beautiful Mom's 77th birthday is this month - I'm sure she won't mind me telling her age because she sure looks years younger! I love you Mom and Dad. I'll see you soon!!

I do still enjoy teaching (most of the time!!!) -- my 29th year. My youngest daughter, Cheryl, is talking about marriage in a couple of years. By the way she had a brief part as a flapper girl in the movie, The Newton Boys". She is seen on the right side of the screen in a couple of quick scenes flirting with "Dock", the youngest Newton brother. She also has been busy with modeling jobs in New York, London, England, Orlando, Florida, and will be going to CanCun the last part of May plus attending school at the University of Texas in Austin. She has one more year before graduating -- hopefully in May or August of 1999!!!CAROLE McRAE RICHARDS 64 (richardc@usaa.com) Carole is still working at USAA and lives in San Antonio.

By the way all my 570 rooms are sold so no room for the Ro-Hawk gang! All my family is fine. Son Chris, 26, still an architect in Chicago and daughter Lori just finished her apprenticeship at the television program "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer". She is looking to join a non profit organization to feed the world. We hope she gets what she wants because she wants to make a difference. Otherwise no new news. All the best Art.KAREN KNOX CAMPBELL 64 - (aqc3@msn.com) Karen and her family have vacationed on two occasions during the childrens' spring break at a friend's chalet in Gatlingburg, TN.

Always a Ro-Hawk!!!Mrs. Lynette Walker - still lives in San Antonio and did not move to Colorado!!! OK, if I have to rely on rumors I get things wrong. I'm sorry. However, Mrs. Walker reports that she did move, but only a few doors away. She only vacations in Estes Park! She says she still stays active (confirmed by Mike Wysong who sees her walking around the neighborhood). She states "those particular classes were truly very special to me".CHARLES "MIKE" PITZER 66 e-mail: pitstop1@juno.com. Mike and his family are settling into their new home in San Antonio. They had an interesting time when they moved in - everything is electronic and they didn't have instruction booklets!!JANET WATKINS JENDRON 65 - EMAIL: jjendron@scsn.net I'm still working at the SC Assistive Technology Project at the USC School of Medicine. Although I'm not on the international Board anymore, I still do a lot of La Leche League work. My oldest Kathleen graduated from William and Mary recently and is starting speech pathology grad school this summer at USC; she'll be living at home. Trip is playing soccer and going to parties at Hampden Sydney College in Virginia. Danny (17) and Claudia (15) are going to the same high school where they both play soccer and run around with the same kids. Claudia's the most responsible person in the family. My family in Texas is doing well. Mom is still teaching music, my two brothers Dan and Mike live in Austin, and Jim is stationed at Kelly AFB in San Antonio. RON BERGQUIST 64 - EMAIL: bergquist@ac.net or bergr@ils.unc.edu I retired from the AF on 1 Jan 95 and we relocated from the Presidio of Monterey, CA (where I had been the Assistant Commandant of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center) to Pinebluff, a small town in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Dru and I spent most of '95 and '96 restoring our circa 1902 house back into livable condition and have spent '97 working on cleaning up the woods and pond behind the house. I got frustrated with the inadequacies of local government in our first year here and so ran for office in November '95. I was elected to the Town Board of Commissioners and was appointed Mayor Pro Tempore. After an interesting (and somewhat productive two year term), I opted not to run again and have recently given up the office and now I can go back to complaining. Last year, feeling that I was needing some mental exercise, I applied for and was accepted in the Graduate School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am now in the midst of finishing up my final papers and projects at the end of my third semester. I am taking it easy, taking three courses per semester, and planning to stay in the program until 1999 or 2000. I will be getting either an MS in Library Science or in Information Science; there are so many interesting courses to take that I haven't yet made up my mind which degree to go for. I have a 90 minute drive each way to class, so I'm keeping my schedule constrained in order to make the drive only three times per week. The courses are very computer intensive, which permits me to do a lot of work at home and use file transfers to send and receive assignments. Believe it or not, I am not the oldest student there. One of my classmates is a 72 year old retired Marine LtCol who retired a second time from UNC a few years ago. He continues to work on the computer courses just to keep himself fresh. He's my idol. Dru and I celebrated (in an extremely low key manner) our 25th anniversary in October and are looking towards at least 25 more. We plan to keep slogging away with our woods and pond and with the computers for several more years before deciding what to do next.DICKIE BUCHERT O'BANION 64 - EMAIL: DickieOB@aol.com A 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?PAM PRATT VILES 65 - EMAIL: pviles@wl.net After living in the same house for twenty years (probably a record for an Air Force brat), we moved last year to another area of Sugar Land, a suburb of Houston. I am a trustee of the Memorial Hermann Foundation which supports eleven not-for-profit hospitals, and keep busy with fund-raising activities. Bob is retired from active medical practice since his illness ten years ago. He is an avid golfer and does consulting work for the hospital system. Pippa is 22 and graduated from SMU last year. She does marketing for a bank and recently moved into her own apartment. Chelsea is a sophomore at Tulane, majoring in art history (hey, that's useful!) and taking advantage of the pleasures of New Orleans.EARL DODGION 63 - EMAIL: dodgion@amigo.net Myrna got a job here in our local school district for '97-'98 school year. Before that, she was working in Alamosa, about a 100 mile round trip, so she was living most of the time at our house in Alamosa. Now we're all 4 living together in South Fork - keeping the Alamosa house as our place in the "city" (population about 10,000). It's good for family life, and also it's been a good change for her. She's moved from middle school to high school, and is teaching business courses with a lot of computer stuff. Troy (17; high school Jr.) had a good year in football, but decided not to play basketball. This is the first sports' season he's had off since seventh grade. He saw an article in the local paper about an instructors' clinic at the ski area, so he and one of his buddies decided to go to it. They both got hired. We only have school four days a week, so he has three weekend days to go up and work. It's a GREAT deal. If they have a lesson for him, he works, and makes about $50 for four hours' work. If they don't have a lesson for him, he gets to ski free. So far this year, he's skied over 50 days (that's awesome). Needless to say, he's gotten pretty good. Only problem is, he's become a ski fanatic -- wants to go glacier skiing this summer; get a job at some big resort instead of going to college, God knows what. With a little luck, it's just a fantasy. We'll see. (Oh, well) He's also going to the state FBLA competition in Vail in April in "computer concepts". whatever that is. Blaine (15; high school Fr.) is into basketball pretty heavy. He started at point guard on his freshman team that won their league. He's going to state in FBLA, too, in "business communications". (maybe these guys will become super businessmen and support their old man in his old age????)(which is right around the corner). As for me, mainly working. Got moved into my new building about six months ago, and business is going well. I've managed to ski a few times this winter, have a friend who introduced me to racquetball, which is kinda fun, looking forward to summer. Plan to fish some with Blaine (his favorite summer thing), and ride my mountain bike some. We're going to Texas in June -- my parents still live there -- hope to make it to New Braunfels and see the Gary Bird family.MICHAEL WYSONG 63 - email: mpwysong@gte.net My son, MICHAEL, is now going to College in Boston, attending Northeastern University on a baseball scholarship. For the past 2 « years I have been working with Blackmon Mooring Steamatic. We clean carpets, furniture, drapery, do fire and water restoration after damages. I work in the commercial division, most of my work is done in air duct cleaning for large buildings. This job did keep me at home, and I could raise my son his last two years of High School.LISA PRAY 67 - email: crabray@mail.softcom.net Thank you so much for taking the time to track me down. It was great to see your web page. Isn't it amazing that the people you have perpetually pictured as eighteen are now grandparents! I graduated in the class of 1967. After trying several colleges, I joined the Navy. I served for eight years, finally completing my bachelor's degree in accounting at Memphis State University. When I got out of the Navy, I moved to Sacramento, CA, where I still live. I used my GI Bill to get a second bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a master's degree in Software Engineering. I am now working as a programmer for the Corps of Engineers, and occasionally teach programming on the side. Those who knew me in high school will not be surprised to learn that I am still bowling! It is something I have always enjoyed, and I have actually improved over the years. It is one of those sports that I can still do -- having had to abandon soccer and basketball as age took over. I have no children of my own, but have a 14 year old stepdaughter who is an avid soccer player. She is hoping to play on her high school team next year.JERRY BALL 65 - email: Jcrsdj@aol.com I anticipate retiring from the Air Force at the end of this year although my boss has asked me to stick around until next summer. It's been a good career, but I'm ready to do something else with my life now. Just don't know what or where! I went to the Air Force Academy after Randolph. Ralph T. "Pete" Hagins, another '65 Ro-Hawk was there also. And as you know, Ward Beightol followed a year later, so three of our RHS class went there. Pete was very successful as a cadet, becoming a cadet group commander (there were eight squadrons in a group and four groups in the entire cadet wing). Let me just say that I graduated. From the Academy, the Air Force sent me to UCLA where, during a break between academic terms in 1969, I drove back to Randolph and married Calla and then went back to California and picked up my M.A. in Economics in 1970. After UCLA we returned to San Antonio (at Brooks AFB in the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory). The following year I went to Viet Nam where I spent eighteen months in the Advanced Research Projects Agency, returning to the States in 1973 about three months before the end of the Viet Nam War. My assignment at Air Force Logistics Command ended in 1975 with my resignation from the Regular Air Force. I became a Texas Aggie. Earned an M.S. and a PhD in Statistics. I also stayed in the Air Force Reserve as a part-timer. While a student at A&M, my two older boys, Richard and Scott, were born. I was recalled to active duty in 1979 to attend Air Command & Staff College where my third son, Daniel, was born. He has Down Syndrome. After ACSC, I returned to civilian life and became a civil service worker back at Randolph. In 1982, Calla and our three sons were delighted to see the arrival of a daughter, Janna. We left Randolph in 1985 to accept a promotion and an assignment to the staff at the United States Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. While there, my Reserve assignment was with the Joint Staff at the Pentagon. I was having lunch with a friend of mine at the Pentagon in 1986 when he asked me if I would be interested in returning to active duty for four years to fill a position in personnel analysis that had been vacant for a year. I thought that would be interesting so I said "yes" and came back on active duty as a lieutenant colonel in 1986. I spent over nine straight years in the DC area - three on the Air Staff, one at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces as a student, four and a half in the Air Force Secretariat, and one on the faculty of National Defense University. In 1995, I was transferred to Scott AFB, IL. I expect to retire from the Air Force this December as a colonel after twenty years of active duty spread out over thirty years of commissioned service. From there, I don't know where we'll go. I suspect we'll probably try to find a job back in DC.JANET FRANCIS JEWETT 64 - email: JJewett@aol.com When I moved to the country (Comfort, TX) all I do is work outside. There is so much to do but it is beautiful up here and the view is wonderful. I'm still working in Fredericksburg. It is a dream come true to be able to work there because it is a big vacation, shopping spot. It is also becoming a big retirement spot. The Texas hill country is very popular for snow bird relocation as well as for Texans. The land is getting very expensive. Everyone wants to live out of town or in the country. First time being a country girl and loving it. Muffin and Angel (my Yorkies) are fine and spoiled. I am still the Director of Nurses for a home health agency in Fredericksburg, Texas. Son, Jimmy married Kim in November or 1997. Son, John and Donna are fine. Grandchildren, Jennifer is going on 7 and grandson, Ian, just turned 2. Momma and Dad are fine and still in San Antonio. My sister, Susan who teaches school (SUSAN FRANCIS STRODE 65) has been spending a lot of time here with me. Her husband, Buck, has been working in Dallas and now has a job in San Antonio starting in May. He's been renovating a Holiday Inn and making it into a Marriott. They are in the process of building on their property that is 4 miles from here in Sisterdale, Texas. (just outside Comfort-which is just up from Boerne) It is on a hillside and stands out beautifully. It's gonna be gorgeous.TOM ROGERS 63 - email: tomr@sirsi.com Spring has sprung here in Northern Va -- the horses are being enjoyed again now that it is warmer and the grass is growing. We just put in about 1000 feet of fence ourselves, so I can tell you all about Mr. posthole digger and Mr. Concrete and Mr. Credit Card. I am growing a beard at the moment -- sort of like having your own portable garden hobby. It came in all white, so I keep surprising myself in the mirror. Half the family (the half that doesn't like it) calls me the Unibomber. My son and I are into it, so I guess it's a guy thing.JIM PECK 65 - EMAIL: Jim_Peck@i2.com Well did you ever think you would ever hear from me? I have been carrying around your last news letter and I just pulled it out and looked up the Rohawk home page. It is really great what you have been doing all these years. Even though I have never written, I have enjoyed receiving your news letters. How do I ever go back and describe to you what I have been doing all these years. Well, for starters I got married 8 years ago to a wonderful person, Julie. In fact we had a long distance relationship for almost 2 years, then she decided to move out to California. A while later we were married in Chicago, May 26th 1990. And guess what? I have a new daughter name Alyssa Ann Peck who is now 3.5 years old. Can you believe at my age (our age) in having another kid. She is just great and loves her Daddy. I am sure you remember Kevin my son, well he lives in Santa Cruz and works in San Jose and is now engaged. They come by and sometimes when Julie and I (my wife) want to be alone for dinner or a show they will sit with Alyssa. I am Director of Sales for High Tech Industries at i2 Technologies. The company is located in Dallas Texas and we sell Supply Chain Decision Support systems (software) for large corporations. I work out of our San Francisco office and my sales team calls on the top 100 high tech companies in the US and Canada. My carrier started with Memorex Corporation where I spent 13 years, left them and joined Amdahl Corporation as Director of National Accounts. This is where I met Julie who at the time was living in Chicago where she is from. She is still with Amdahl, in addition to being a great mother and wife. I cannot describe how wonderful Alyssa is and the joy she brings Julie and I. Not to mention how she keeps me young, and I definitely need that. I am sure glad I took typing, but of course you had to help me get through. Thanks....TERRY SMILJANICH 65 - EMAIL: Tsmiljan@aol.com I recently got out to California. On a free day during my trip I took a tour of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, where all the deep space probes are managed (Voyager, Mars Probe, etc.). I had to drive down the Pacific Coast Highway to San Diego, had business in Newport Beach and Irvine, and also had to go to Pasadena and Venice Beach. In spite of the freeway congestion, I have always loved Southern California, its beaches and mountains. Terry and his wife are at the moment in Yellowstone National Park on vacation.GAIL STEED McILHANY 64 - EMAIL: GailMcil@aol.com I went to the DC area and visited my son, Charles for a few days. I also went to Norfolk for a day...I'd never been there and wanted to see it. :) I've made my reservations for another trip to the UK, too. I'll be going over on July 27 for 17 days. I'll be in Edinburgh for the Edinburgh Festival. I can't wait! I'll be leaving out of Dulles Intl. on July 27. I'm sooooooo excited! I've been trying to think if there's anything new in my life for the newsletter, besides my trip to Scotland and England. Well, I can't think of too much. My Mother, Mary Steed, turned 90 on Jan. 2, 1998. We had a big celebration for her. She's in Kansas City, MO...where my sister Janice lives. Mother is ill now, she has pneumonia, and can use lots of prayers. The Drs. say she should be all right since they caught it quickly. Mac and I are going out to KC next week. Our son, Charles is doing well in Fairfax, VA. He recently got promoted, too. So, all in all, things are going fairly well for the McIlhany family.ANN DORMAN WEDDLES 65 - EMAIL: Weddles4@aol.com Randy and I are still at our same old jobs. Tres now manages his own Starbuck's and Mandy works for a market entrepreneur in Phoenix -- still loves living in Scottsdale. We are all fine. My sister, Nancy's son Stephen just graduated from high school in Greeley, CO. We were all there. Mom and Dad, Randy and I and Mandy and Tres, and of course all Nancy's family. We had a ball.CAROL TURNIPSEED HABERLE 64 - EMAIL: TYR28480@tyler.net Biggest news: I'm giving myself a shot of Interferon (for treatment for MS) once a week. I've been on it two months and this last shot was the first time I DIDN'T have the "flu-like symptoms" that can accompany it. Second biggest news: Daughter, May, is back from a six-month work-visa stay in England. She was a counselor at an Art Camp in New York last summer, and most of the other counselors were from England in an exchange program for which they talked her into applying. Get this: before they would let her into the country to work, she had to prove she could leave in six months: round trip ticket. She had to carry a "Green Card" with her at all times, and she had to register with the local police. Sounds like something the USA ought to be doing. Husband, David and son, Fred are fine but their plans are still "in process".KAY KNIGHT WEBB '66 - EMAIL: kwebb@hotmail.com Since I have not communicated with you before, I'll provide a very brief rundown of the past 30 years!!! Attended U of Houston, U of Hawaii, and Valdosta State College...BS and MEd degrees in Middle School Education from Valdosta State...have been teaching gifted students, grades 4-7, in Tifton, Georgia, for 28 years... Married in 1970...two boys - Jon,16 and Marcus,13...divorced in 1997...sing in church choir...counselor for church youth group... New interests include hiking, backpacking, and reclaiming my yard... Goals include educating the boys, retiring from teaching, finding a higher paying job to finance relocation to the mountains. Would love to hear from classmates of '66!CARL MEADE 68 - Maddog1000@aol.com Hi Gloria! Nothing new with me. Still at Skunk Works trying to get X-33 into the air.KATHY MANSFIELD WRIGHT 67 - EMAIL: cnxstrl@webtv.net - I would have been a member of the 67 class at RHS had my dad not retired in 66. I remember very clearly walking into the "new" high school, and being cognizant of the fact that we were on trial. The Air Force wasn't sure if they should go to the expense of building their own high schools. I distinguished myself by being the only football injury in 66 -- I was a member of the pepsquad who fell and broke my ankle going down to the field... embarrassing!! I ended up graduating from a Michigan high school, attended the University of Michigan, married a dentist, have 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters. I was on our local city council for 13 years and finally mayor of the city for 4 years. As the years have passed I've been an EMT on an ambulance service, and a real estate agent. The world holds so many interesting professions, had to try my hand at a few. I love to act in our community theater. Gloria, thanks for continuing on with the newsletter. It brings a smile to my face to hear the familiar names, and inevitably I start to hum the alma mater ....GENE HOLT 67 EMAIL: gholt@vanamerican.com (or) gholt@cris.com - I'm in Lexington, KY now as VP of Marketing for a National Bond Company. Great town, but still looking for that home of a job where I could plan a retirement. It just seems that I have that old problem of moving every 2 or 3 years whether I want to or not. I am busy traveling all over the US and Canada. You have done so much to bring back so many wonderful times in our younger lives. Times that will only live in our memories. A time where no one thought of retirement, health, or death. Each year we all feel first hand the newness of these events and deal with them in our own separate ways. But I can't help but think that the memories of Randolph and those special days of our lives help us all to weather the rainy days that will come to all of us.MIKE FAUSETT 65 Hi from California - Everyone is healthy and doing OK. I go back up to the Queen Charlotte Islands on July 4th. Diana goes back to Kentucky in April for her quilting show. We are going on a 10-day cruise on the Mexican Riviera in October. This is about our 5th time so we don't even get off the ship. It's just nice to get away for awhile and it leaves from San Diego so we are home in 30 minutes after we get off the ship. Hope all is well and we love you all.PATTIE TYLER 66 Got the newsletter and love, love, love our web page. What a fine job you've done on it! Well, I'm 13 years at IBM now and have a great job as a lab tech in a development group that does software testing for network computers. I am still xeriscaping my front yard....had a great camping trip with Mary Bird to Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and Natural Bridges National Monument. Then visited old friends near Capitol Reef National Park and Moab, Utah. I escorted my mom to the Dedication of the Women in Military Service Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in D.C. in October. It was quite the historic occasion to see all those women, young and old, some in their uniforms. My mom was an Army nurse in WWII, on Bataan and Corregedor when the Philippines fell to the Japanese.JEFF LINDLEY 66 I am currently living and swinging (golf) in New Braunfels with first wife, Marty of 28+ years. Moved to area in 1994 from Tempe where I was a General Contractor for 15 years. Am still at it, both residential and commercial projects, new and old. Marty, is an MAI appraiser, currently working in another career. In 1998 we will begin some small commercial developments in or near the city. Daughter Jessica is married to Scott Spenser and living in Charlotte, NC. Will probably return to Texas in near future. His parents live one block away from my parents, M/G Wm. C. And Roselyn, in Windcrest. (They met in Dallas and did not know of this phenomenon until later). I have had regular contact with other members - Tom Madsen with wife Debbie living in Austin. I would like to organize a golf tournament for interested hackers in 1998. I will be contacting local class members, maybe even McDougall and Allshouse, at a later date. I remain, still a graduate of RHS.ED BURTENSHAW 65 Greetings fro the Burtenshaws in Florida. Casey is eleven and in the Fifth Grade. He is evolving in the normal ways of a preadolescent male - getting bigger, becoming more independent, pushing the limits, developing all of those endearing characteristics of a teenager. He is exasperating at times, and we are very, very proud of him. Molly will turn ten at the end of December and is in the fourth grade. She has not yet acquired many of her brother's rebellious traits, but then, she hasn't needed any, for she has her own individual style. We see a lot of her mother in Molly. Her lifestyle is exemplified by a T-shirt she got last year in a gifted class: "Question Everything!" As for the (relatively) more mature representatives in this family, both of us are muddling through. Ed continues to work for AARP, doing political stuff on the federal level. He is away from home far too often, traveling both all around Florida and other partes of the country. Mary Clare continues to work in the domestic area, and does a lot of volunteer work at the kids' school. We have a new addition to the family too - a Sun Conure named Fletcher. Fletcher and Max, our golden Retriever, complement each other well. Max tries to ignore the bird and Fletcher tries to attack the dog whenever he is near. Fletcher also lets out a loud and very annoying screech whenever some one either knocks on the front door or comes in the house. Max has never been interested in being a watch dog, so now, at least, we have a watch bird. So this now brings our household content up to 4 humans, one dog, one bird, two turtles, and a mess of fish. We unfortunately, lost both our frogs and the eel this year. (And we refuse to include those damn tamagotchi's in the count) :)HARRY AMON 64 and his wife PENNY, live in Austin, TX with their daughter BAILEY. Since the death of Col. Watkins I wanted to tell you what a small world it is. Mrs. Watkins has been Bailey's piano teacher for almost two years!! Until the day we read about his death, we didn't know that Bailey's piano teacher was Janet's mother! Bailey will be in 7th grade this fall, we are so proud of her accomplishments so far which includes first honor roll, student of the month and first chair in flute.TERESA D'ARZA CUSHING 66 I have added Teresa's picture to the Web page along with her significant other, Geoff Gauger and their Scottie dog, McKenzie and their African Gray Parrot, Sadie. Teresa has two granddaughters, Erica and Amanda, who she loves to visit in Hawaii every time she gets a chance to visit her son Kevin. Geoff and Teresa have joined a bridge club and Teresa started an investment club. They enjoy their friends and offer their extra bedroom to any traveling Ro-Hawk who finds themself in Fairfax, VA.KEN DEVERS 63 writes from Colorado Springs - Life goes on for us as usual except for the "Blizzard of 97". We went to bed with light snow and woke up with 45 inches across the front door and yard. It took us two days to dig Trudy's 4X4 out of the garage and mine was buried beside the garage. The Army from Ft. Carson rescued some 200+ people who were stranded. Our granddaughter, Taylor Christine is in the day care center where I work so I usually grab a fast lunch and visit her. My daughter, Bridget, works for MCI so Taylor comes home with me when she has to work late. (You can see a picture of Taylor and Ken on the web page).

Merry Christmas - Happy New Year!!My Dear Dear Friends.....I hope you all had a good year. I certainly did - thanks to all of you, my family and my "other" friends. In July my husband gave me a surprise 50th birthday party and lots of my friends came by to help celebrate. Also a lot of you RoHawks sent gifts and cards welcoming me to the Golden Years. I have a hard time believing that I'm 50 years old and I'm a grandmother of five with another grandchild on the way!! Geez, wasn't it yesterday that I was walking down the halls of RHS working my way to senior English class with Mr. Posey?My family is doing well. We are still here in South Florida - our son, Kelly, is 15 - he surfs and bugs me to take him driving all the time since he got his learner's permit. Do you know how scary it is to drive here - especially with a 15 year old at the wheel? Kelly is a sophomore in High School now and on his way to graduating with the Class of 2000. Dan's been working/golfing/fishing/boating and we have both learned how to roller blade. Danny's much better than me - mostly, he just pulls me along. (I need "slower" skates). I still work for an attorney in Boca Raton, Florida as a paralegal and Danny works for a car dealership in West Palm Beach.The Pechuls progeny are still multiplying - My daughter Allison (28) is having another baby in April, 1998. That will be 4 kids for her!! My son, Mark (27) is in the Air Force and stationed at Hurlburt Field in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida (Eglin AFB). My other son, Kyle (27), is working as a kitchen manager at a local restaurant - he and his wife have two boys. They are all doing well and they are ALL healthy.My parents, Bill and Fran Campbell continue to do well. Mom had orthoscopic knee surgery in July and has bounced back like a teenager! My father is active in the American Legion in the small Kentucky town (Somerset) they live in - they do military funerals, among other things. (A really upbeat past time). I visited them in July with my oldest Grandson, Stephen in August and then again by myself in October. It's nice to go home and just be a daughter. My dad owns a 1990 Honda Goldwing SE. (This is his 5th bike). He turns 79 in December and still loves to ride. He is a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association and attends rallies when he can. He also recently received his 50 year certificate and pin as a Scottish Rite Mason.I've been working really hard on the new Ro-Hawk Web Page - I hope you can all check it out and enjoy it. More information follows.I hope this year has been good for you and that next year is even better! God Bless You!

Merry Christmas + Happy New Year
Dear Friends-
Did you miss me? I've been busy... I was out trying to get a few "Tickle Me Elmos" for my grandsons!!! We have been fine - just busy like everyone else.
Kelly has been surfing everyday after school; Dan's been working/golfing/fishing/boating - mowing the lawn, etc.; I've been working overtime, taking care of the grandchildren, driving up to Jacksonville to see Allison; "doing lunch" and going to the movies with my friends.
We added two more to our family this year....Allison had another son on Mother's Day, May 12th. His name is JOHN MASON (we call him Mason) - However, his other grandpa (Grandpa John) calls him Johnny. Then July 28th, my son Kyle and his wife had another son, ANTHONY TAYLOR JEAN (Tony). So that brings the total number of grandsons to FIVE - no girls in there at all. STEPHEN is 6 1/2, COLE is 4 1/2, DYLAN is 20 months, MASON is 7 months and little TONY is 4 1/2 months. Allison is still in Jacksonville, working full time for a lawyer, taking care of her three sons, still nursing the baby part time, makes her own baby food (where did she learn how to do all that?) Mark is in the Air Force - he got through basic at Lackland AFB and is now stationed at Hurlburt Field in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida (It's a part of Eglin AFB). He's very happy and is talking about making the Air Force a career. Our other son Kyle is dealing with life as a new father of two boys under 2 and needless to say - has been stressed out.
Kelly is 14 1/2 now and is a freshman in high school - he's a member of the concert band (he says he can play the saxophone - but I've never heard him play a whole song) - he also doodles on his electric guitar and is a member of the surf club at school. I think he's somehow going to find a way to permanently be at the beach. He's taller and lankier - has bleached his hair - Yeah, we should make it out alive OK this year !! :)
Danny and I celebrated our 18th anniversary in September, still in the same house, same town, same state - boy is this a novel idea or what? I never lived in one place before longer than 3 years!!! I still move the furniture around once every so often just to make me feel like I've moved.
May you have health, wealth and prosperity in 1997. God Bless You.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Danny, Gloria and Kelly

PERSONALS:
First of all, thank you to all who wrote me and sent donations in 1996 - I really want to hear from you and share what you allow me to with all our friends - Or the "just for my eyes only" information. I would like to tell you how much I appreciate your letters - I also appreciate the donations for stamps and printing. I thought about not doing the newsletter and just stopping - but when I started getting the Christmas cards this year I just couldn't stop. So since my time has been somewhat strained at the moment, I intend to do the newsletter once a year - hopefully around Christmas - I have plenty of funds for future newsletters - so I'll just keep on as long as I can as long as I hear from you. Address changes are only good for one year - so if you move and don't notify me - I'll lose you - so please keep me on your change of address list. Please note that my area code has changed to 561.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES:
The first item I would like to mention is the passing of MIKE BROWN - October, 1995 - Class of 1966. Before Mike died he wrote me with exciting news that he had become a grandpa - his daughter Michelle had a daughter, Amanda, in January 1995. His daughter Jean got married in July and Mike was there for the wedding. I know those of you that knew Mike will be saddened to hear this - but Mike's mom tells me that Mike really enjoyed life even though he had been ill - and from the letters I received I know how much he loved his three daughters and his new granddaughter. We'll miss you Mike - another star is shining above.
So many of you are now On-Line with one service or the other. I'm hoping you will keep in touch with me through that avenue. I have communicated electronically with:
GARY ERICKSON (LOGOMORPH@aol.com) who has thrilled me with his fishing stories. Gary is still in San Francisco in law enforcement - and writing a fly fishing newsletter and freelance consulting.
BILL BORELLIS (BBORELLIS@aol.com) - Bill had a scare when one of his daughters (Jade) and her friend got caught in a rip current on off the coast of San Diego. Thankfully, they were saved and all ended happily. Bill is still working hard with the LA School District and his insurance business.
EARL DODGION (dodgion@rmii.com) - who has delighted me with his stories about snow skiing, commercial real estate ventures, his teenage sons sports triumphs, and intrigued me with son Troy's experiences in learning to drive (an experience I will relive in a few short months); his beer and Bar-B-Que parties - Reading Earl's descriptions of the changing seasons of Colorado is mesmerizing - kinda makes me want to move there!!! NOT - what, am I crazy - it's 80 degrees outside here....!!!!!
JANET FRANCIS JEWETT MURILLO (recently back to JEWETT) (JJewett775@aol.com) - Janet has moved back to San Antonio - she's near her parents and her sister SUSAN. Janet's parents have had some serious health problems - Dad with pneumonia and her mom with a major heart attack. All is well now. Janet has a new grandson, IAN ROBERT who joins little sister JENNIFER. Janet is still in the nursing business and works in the home health area. P.S. SUSAN is still in San Antonio and teaching.
JILL WAGNER PORTER (JILLMOM@aol.com) - Jill's son is 18 and is a freshman at Berkeley and her daughter is 14 and in high school. They live in LA - but travel to Australia where most of their business is located.
LYNN MILLS (our "Miss Kosh") (lmills@tenet.edu) - still teaching math, working on spifing up her home with new carpet and paint; her youngest daughter is in her second year of college, middle daughter will be getting married in April and oldest daughter will be getting married next June 1998.

Ann and her husband will celebrate their 28th anniversary in April.

Their son, Charlie, lives in Fairfax, VA and works as a title examiner for the VA Dept. of Transportation.

THANK YOU for another great year of support - I hope this letter brings you news of those you may remember fondly - Unfortunately, a lot of people passed on in the last few years. I suppose it is something at our age that we should come to expect. It's also a time for us to look inward and ask ourselves if we have done all we can in the first half of our lives. - It's a time to look toward the future with hope and knowledge that we have done our best. It's a time to cherish our friendships, our health, our children, our spouses/significant others and our parents. A time to look to our Higher Power and be thankful that we are alive and basically sane. Thanks again, be well in 1997 - Until next time - HAVE A GREAT YEAR!
Love,
Gloria Jean

merry christmas and happy new year!
Hello from Florida! We hope this year has been good for you all. We've had an interesting year. The outcome has been very good. My son, Kelly, 13, is now taller than me (not saying too much) but anyway, he's doing well - Danny is now the General Manager at a used car dealership in Lake Worth, Florida. (It's up the road a piece). He's been there for 2 weeks. He worked there last year and he was asked to return as GM. The lawyer I work for decided to rejoin the attorneys he previously worked with in their new firm - so we moved back across town to a new office in September. It's nice to be in a larger office again. Danny and I continue to do well and we are basically physically healthy - although our mental health is questionable!
My other children are well. Allison and her family are doing fine in Jacksonville. We have visited with each other several times since they moved. In fact, we were there for Thanksgiving and they came here for Christmas. It was such a pleasure to see her two boys wake up and see the gifts under the tree - Stephen and Cole had a great Christmas - Allison and Marwin will have their first baby in May and they are hoping for a girl. This will be our 4th grandchild.
Mark still lives with Chuck and is working with him in Ft. Lauderdale. Kyle and Donna have moved to Boca Raton and are living with her parents with her son, Mike and their son, Dylan Kyle Pechuls (we've been calling him "Dill Pickle"). Little Dylan isn't so little anymore - he is 18 pounds and growing daily. He's a chubby little baby and real happy. He's 8 months old but because of his prematurity is 4 months behind in development. But he is as healthy as can be. Thank God! Kyle has decided on a career change and is going to school and working part time to become a hair stylist like his wife.
I guess the biggest event this month was that we finally got the sailfish that Dan caught last year. It took over a year to stuff and mount it! It's a beautiful 7-foot sailfish that we hung proudly on our TV room wall.
We just had a great Christmas Day - all the kids came over - also lots of friends dropped in all during the day. Unfortunately - the power went off at 8 am - about the time I put the turkey in the oven - I already had a ham - but I knew it wouldn't feed everyone and not everyone liked ham - so we improvised by turning on the grill and cooking frozen chicken breasts. Also I wrapped some corn on the cob in foil and put them and a pot of baked beans on the grill. I opened some cans of pineapple and mandarin oranges and some fresh strawberries and put all that in a bowl - had some heat and serve rolls (that I didn't heat) - some chips and dip and lots of pie - It worked and we had a great dinner - it was a little cold (unbelievably it was 35 or 40 degrees here in So. Florida that day) that's why the power was off - everyone got up and turned on their heaters at the same time! The power came on about 1:30 PM - my turkey was done about 4 - however, all out guests had left. So please come to visit me and I will fill you with big turkey sandwiches!

REUNION - 1995 - 30 YEARS!!
New Braunfels as most of you will remember is still a small town - however, it has grown into a nice little tourist town. There are the many rivers - tubing and the resort and water park - SCHLITTERBAHN - the natural springs of the rivers combine with slides and tubes and lots of very cold water. Also, in there is Sea World in San Antonio and the Zoo! Landa Park has pools, mini golf, boating and tubing and more. Also Sea World and Fiesta Texas is nearby. The price to any of these attractions is not included in the reunion fee.
Our committee has been working long and hard to bring this fun weekend to us - I hope you all can make it and have another memorable Reunion. We wanted to bring something a little different to you - and I hope we have inspired you to change any plans you may have made and come "home" to Texas and see your old friends one more time. Included in this newsletter are: Reunion Registration form, Golf Tournament form, Accommodations list and maps. I'm sure you can find your way. Get together and stay in the same hotels or call each other and offer your homes to guests.

REUNION 1995
Randolph A.F.B. and New Braunfels, Texas
Friday - June 16,1995
On Friday night several members of the classes of 1963-1966 and some later graduating classes met at the Randolph High School in the gym. The school was opened and we were able to walk around. I found my locker - at least I think it was my locker. We all remarked that the cafeteria looked so small. An RHS Booster Club representative was on hand to sell us Ro-Hawk T-Shirts, caps, cups, sweat shirts, pennants. We got reacquainted with people we haven't seen in 5 years and some "first timers" that we haven't seen in 30 years. At 9:00 PM we left Randolph High behind us and we drove over to the Officer's Club. After going down to the Auger Inn and not being able to squeeze through the crowd or hear anything over the noise of the band - we went upstairs where there was a much "older" crowd where we were able to talk and catch up on old times. About Midnight we went down to the Auger Inn - danced to the band and watched some Marine Pilots make fools of themselves. At 2:00 A.M. we left and either went back to our hotels, homes or out to Breakfast. Our group went down to JIMS - somehow it looked familiar - I think we've been there after every reunion! My husband and I were joined by ROGER LONDON, CAROLE McRAE RICHARDS, KAREN POOR PECK and her husband, BOB, EARL DODGION, and STEVE BURGOON.
SATURDAY - June 17th
Saturday morning, those that could got up early for a Golf Tournament at Landa Park in New Braunfels. These are the final results of the tournament:Ist Place: 11 under parMIKE WYSONGBELL BORELLISGEORGE McCLUGHANHARRYJOHNSON2nd Place: 8 under parBOBPECKDANNY GALLAGHERTOM MADSEN3rd Place: 7 under parJEFF LINDLEYRICK NORTONDAVID McDOWELLLongest Drive: BILL BORELLIS Closest to Hole: GEORGE McCLUGHAN (Lucky Shot!) HARRY JOHNSON - knocked in 7 birdies - whatever that means.John Hines and Jimmy O'Brien walked the course but didn't play. Trophies were handed out as well as souvenir golf tees.
Saturday Afternoon:
About noon Saturday we slowly trickled in to the Wurstfest Grounds at Landa Park for our picnic. (A lot of us forgot where to go and got lost - me included). The grounds were beautiful. We were situated right on the river by the old mill at the front of the park. The weather was beautiful and the water - very cold. We got out our old year books and compared ourselves to the "old days". We had lots of food and drink and about 6 PM the Bar-B-Q arrived and thereafter we dug in and stuffed our faces. Then the DJ began setting up about 8 PM and CAROLE McRAE RICHARDS welcomed everyone to the Reunion and made everyone aware of those that couldn't make it and to hold them in our thoughts. Carole gave me a plaque with the inscription:
"Presented to Gloria Campbell Gallagher by the Randolph Ro-Hawk Alumni Association on Saturday, June 17, 1995 with many thanks and much love for all your hard work in keeping us together for 30 years.@
I got up to the microphone at that time and introduced my committee for which I extend my many thanks.CAROLE McRAE RICHARDSKAREN POOR PECKJEANNE ROBERTS STINSONPATTIEE TYLERand GARY BIRDJeanne was the first to volunteer to head and coordinate the committee. Carole handled the registrations and the bank account. Karen and her husband Bob, arranged for the food and drink. They also had to decide on a band or DJ and Shop for food and drinks and paper goods. These girls met several times to hash out ideas, made a million calls with the Officer's Club, the school, to me and to each other. They personally and unselfishly sacrificed many hours of their time to help make this Reunion a success. Pattie contacted the Golf Tournament organizers, TOM MADSEN and JEFF LINDLEY. Jeff and Tom organized the tournament and took registrations and made all the arrangements for the tournament. Last, but not least, Gary arranged for us to be at the Wurstfest grounds at Landa Park which were indeed very special.
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED ME IN THE PAST. WITHOUT THE SUCCESSES OF THE PAST REUNIONS WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO HOLD OUR REUNIONS. THANK YOU.
Also special thanks to CAROL TURNIEPSEED RABERLE for sending us a banner that read:
ARandolph High School Rohawk Reunion 30 yeears (+ or -)@
I gave a speech and I was FINALLY able to get through it. At one point, being very emotional, I was crying and my nose was running so I sniffed - unfortunately, the microphone was right there and it was the sniff heard all over New Braunfels! Everyone was encouraging me along the way and made me feel very special - but I was glad to be done with it and very proud that I was able to verbally thank everyone and express my sincere appreciation to everyone who lent a hand in making our reunion extra meaningful.
The DJ played oldies until midnight. We were able to dance and still talk without yelling. It was nice at the park - yes, it was a little warm - but I think it has been known to get a little warm at the Auger Inn too during the last few years. We had great food and drink - and a great cake with a Ro-Hawk on it. Of course, the night couldn't end without saying our tearful (or rather my tearful) goodbyes - and of course we couldn't end the night without stopping for breakfast. My husband and I were joined by DOUG GREENLEAF.
On Sunday morning, we had another breakfast - (what else?) with BILL BORELLIS, KAREN and BOB PECK, CAROL RICHARDS, PATTIE, ME, DAN and our son, KELLY.
Then it was time to go home.
I have truly enjoyed the past 20 years that I have been writing the newsletter and planning and attending the Reunions. Through your letters and telephone calls I have been privy to most of your private lives. I have read about heartbreak and happiness, failures and successes, tragedies and triumphs. I have personally visited with some of you and received many friendly telephone calls. I have seen a Ro-Hawk run onstage and collect an Emmy; I have seen a Ro-Hawk blast into space and then walk in space; I have seen a Ro-Hawk sit on the panel at the Iran-Contra hearings; I've been to Washington DC on a personal private tour of the Capitol Building arranged by a Ro-Hawk; and I have received novels written by a Ro-Hawk. I have also heard stories about the Vietnam and Gulf War from Ro-Hawks who were there, and I have traveled in my mind to the many places Ro-Hawks have been. I have kept every letter and card that has been sent to me for the past 20 years and I treasure each one. I am a very lucky person to have so many friends who care about me and who care about each other. All of you have inspired me to continue to keep in contact with the Ro-Hawk spirit and with all of you. I salute you. God Bless you and thank you for the bottom of my heart.
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITEES
On Thursday night, some of the guys got together at a Benigans in San Antonio for a "guys night out". Those in attendance were- TOM McDOUGALL, GARY BUM, EARL DODGION, JOHN HARTIG, ROBERT DEMOTTA, BELL BORELLIS, MIKE WYSONG, DENNIS BIANCHI and a mystery guest we shall call "STEVE" a/k/a SANDY HOLT LYDA. (Sandy, not being able to convince anyone that she was a guy, had to leave early).
BITS & PIECES
I was lucky enough to spend several days in San Antonio and I visited with many other friends. I was given a lunch by my friends from the Mother's of Twins Club. 25 years ago we chartered a club for mothers of twins in San Antonio. ANN DORMAN WEDDLE and her husband, RANDY, took me to dinner on Thursday evening at the Grist Mill at Gruene outside of New Braunfels..
On Saturday morning I had (what else) breakfast with an old girlfriend that I went to elementary school with at Lamar Elementary School, New Braunfels (5th and 6th grade). We had a LOT to catch up on. My friend also came to the picnic as she was acquainted with Gary and Margaret Ann Bird and Jeff and Marty Lindley.
My husband's oldest son, DAVID, was able to join us from Ft. Hood where he is stationed. He and our son Kelly, spent time together at Schlitterbahn and tubing down the river all day Saturday. We also went rafting down the river together on Friday afternoon.
I also had a very nice lunch with my former mother-in-law, MRS. PECHULS, at a new dining place in Selma - yes, Selma, the Selma City Hall Grill. We ate inside the jail cell! Her exciting news is a she's moved to a brand new home!
Friday Night Attendees:
Bucky and Cindy Allshouse, Linda Allshouse, Harry and Penny Amon, Dennis Bianchi, Gary Bird, Bill Borellis, Stephany Burgoon, Steve Burgoon, Ed and Mary Clare Burtenshaw, Gloria and Danny Gallagher, Robert DeMotta, Earl Dodgion, Mike and Dianne Fausett, Ronald and Donna Futch, Jon and Gretchen Goodfleish, Doug Greenleaf, John Hartig, John Hines, Sandy Holt Lyda, Harry and Barbara Johnson, Jeff and Marty Lindley, Roger London, George McClughan, Tom and Carol McDougall, David McDowell, Carole McRae Richards, Rick and Kathy Norton, Jimmy and Linda O'Brien, Susan Ohman Baldwin and her husband, Karen Poor Peck and her husband, Bob, Jeanne Roberts Stinson and her husband, Steve, Teny Smiljanich, Gail Steed Mcllhany and her husband, Mac, Joyce Troberman Rusing, Rick Troberrnan, Jeanne Troberinan, Linda Tucker Prater and her husband Richard, Pattie Tyler and Mike Wysong.
On Saturday we had:
Bucky and Cynthia Allshouse, Harry and Penny Amon and their daughter, Bailey, Gary and Margaret Ann Bird, Bill Borellis, Stephany Burgoon, Steve and Claudia Burgoon, Ed and Mary Clare Burtenshaw and their children, Casey and Molly, Gloria Campbell Gallagher, husband, Danny, and son, Kelly and Dan's son, David, Gilda Camey, Earl Dodgion, Mike and Diane Fausett, Ron and Donna Futch, Doug Greenleaf, John Hartig, John Hines, Harry and Barbara Johnson, Jeff and Marty Lindsey, Roger London and his son, Tom Madsen, George McClughan, David McDowell, Carole McRae Richards, Rick and Kathy Dailey Norton, Jimmy and Linda O'Brien, Susan Ohman Baldwin and her husband, Mike and Joyce Pitzer, Karen Poor Peck and husband Bob, Jeanne Roberts Stinson and husband Steve and son Michael, Terry Smiljanich, Gail Steed Mcllhany and husband Mac, Pattie Tyler and Mike Wysong. Carl and John Meade dropped by to say FE, but they couldn't stay.
Well, there you have it - the 30th Reunion is over and done. It was a great time.
ORGANIZATION?
There have been several suggestions that we "organize" into an Alumni Association and pay dues and using the money to defray the costs of the next reunion. Yes, there was talk of a next reunion. Dues, of course, would be minimal - $5.00 per year - I personally don't think any of you have the time to deal with another organization. This fact is evident because I don't hear regularly from all of you. So, I have chosen to continue as we have for the last 20 years - if you feel the urge, donations are accepted and will be used for postage, photocopying and paper. However, one thing will change. All donations will be deposited into a special account that will be overseen by Carole Richards. Carole has volunteered to be our unofficial Treasurer and will keep the Reunion account open for deposits and distribution to me for expenses. Any funds left over will defray the expenses of the next reunion. Let me hear from you on this idea and we would appreciate ANY suggestions any of you may have. I will continue to write this newsletters and in five years IF we have interest we will try the reunion thing again. If not - we will just go on as Is.
THANK YOU FOR THE DONATIONS which have been received since May from Gail Steed Mcllhany, Art Nigro (from Australia), Mrs. Daisy McRae (Carole's Mom) David McDowell, Susan Ohman Baldwin, Dickie Buchert O'Banion and thanks to Earl Dodgion for reimbursement for stamps for the Areminder@ invitation for the Reunion.
Update on my life:
Big news - My new grandson, Dylan Kyle Pechuls is amazingly doing very well thanks to the magnificent care he has received from all his doctors and nurses and his most apparent will to live. He was not due until July 31st - but was born April 11th. He is a little over 3 months old now, still in the hospital and weighs a whole 4 pounds 2 oz. (Remember, he was 1 pound 3 oz at birth). He has put on much of his weight this past month when he was started on formula. He still faces a minor hernia surgery and will probably be in the hospital in a matter of weeks. This past weekend he was moved out of intensive care and put with all the other babies in the regular nursery. My son, Kyle and his wife, Donna are really looking forward to having their little boy home for good. If you saw the recent 48 Hours show on TV the other night - Dylan is truly a miracle baby.
My daughter, Allison, has moved to Jacksonville with her husband. This is the first time we have been separated and we are suffering from separation anxiety. However, e-mail and the telephone have been great helps.
My son, Mark, moved to Ft. Lauderdale to try to begin his own business and is working with Chuck at this time.
Danny and I have almost recuperated from our Texas trip. Getting back into the swing of things has been really hard.
My son, Kelly, did pass 7th grade and will enter 8th grade at Advent Lutheran School in the fall.
It was great seeing all of you - the years have been kind. I can't believe we are heading or are at the half-century mark. Sorry I mentioned it. ha ha. Keep all those cards and letters coming. This cannot be a newsletter unless I get those letters with news of you and your family. I love all of you - you are the greatest. Take care until next time.
Love,
GLORIA

Merry Christmas!!

This has been an interesting year for us. My shoulder has been frozen most of the year. Fortunately, I have regained about 50% of the motion in my arm and shoulder and I do see light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to all of you who inquired. My husband DANNY caught a 7 foot Sailfish this year! He was alone on this boat when he caught it. We are having it mounted and will put it on the wall of our new sports/TV/computer room we just redecorated. My son, KELLY, started 7th grade in a new school and has been struggling but he has improved a lot and has made some new friends. My daughter, ALLISON, has moved on from her divorce and has met someone new and plans to be married next May! MARK and KYLE have been working hard. Kyle has a wife, Donna, and a new baby on the way next summer!! This will make grandchild #3! It's not possible! We survived Hurricane Gordon and the flooding, however our pump burned out and so did our circuit breakers. It was scary and REALLY scary when the thing headed back our way. But all is well now. We hope that 1994 was good to you and here's hoping that 1995 will be the best year of your life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

REUNION 1995
30 YEARS!!

We have the date and the place - but not too many details. The Reunion weekend will occur the weekend of June 23rd and 24th at Randolph Air Force Base. Our reunion committee is being headed by JEANNE ROBERTS STINSON ('65) and KAREN POOR PECK ('64). The Officers Club has agreed to let us have another weekend. This will mark the 20th year we have held our Reunions there. I would like to present something to the Officers Club in appreciation for their continued support - anyone got any ideas? Send me art work or ideas. Details of the Reunion weekend will hopefully be available by March or April and informational invitations will be mailed. Since the Reunion is late in the month of June, I will probably get a newsletter out June 1 st with last minute details.

The invitation will have details regarding cost, activities and times and places. Also, information on accommodations, restaurants, babysitting, etc. As I have stated before, the Reunion will only be a success if we have your support and attendance. So make those travel plans now. As always I am looking forward to seeing all of my friends again. I'm hoping to be able to spend more time with each of you. It will be sad not to see Mike Wood, Mike Wagner, Bill Beightol and the other good friends that have passed to the other side. I'm sure they will be with us in spirt.

For those of you that can't possibly make it -- Please send letters, cards, pictures or whatever, to me and I will post them up at the dance for everyone to see. Also I will be bringing to the Reunion Albums for everyone to share. I have to bring an extra suitcase just for the albums!

Right now if you want to help or if you have suggestions for activities or themes you can always contact me. However, you can call or write to Jeanne and/or Karen and volunteer your help or ideas.

Again - Mark your calendar - make those plans - The Reunion will be held June 23, 24, 1995 at Randolph AFB. 30 years! - See you there!

*****************************************
BILL BEIGHTOL: Class of 1966 - Bill passed away on June 24, 1994. He was 45 years old. Bill retired from the AF as a Major on July 1, 1993 at March AFB, CA. He had recently moved to Austin with his family to begin his second career in real estate. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with Bill's family at this time.

HAYNES M. BAUMGARDNER, JR.: Haynes and wife, Cheryl are back "home" in Cibolo after an extended tour in Stuttgart, Germany. They took advantage of the travelling opportunities and visited Italy, Hungary, Holland, England, Scotland, Belgium and to the Czech Republic - All of Germany and surrounding countries. Haynes is currently assigned to Kelly AFB, however he is planning to retire soon after 25 years and pursue a degree in education. Their daughter Natalie graduated from the University of VA in '93 and now lives in Dallas. Son Trey is attending his 3rd year at George Mason Univ. in Fairfax, VA.

JAN BAUMGARDNER (Haynes' Brother) and his family live in Austin and Mom and Dad Baumgardner live in Lubbock.

BILL BORELLIS: Bill lives in Woodland Hills, CA - I just received a picture of his kids, Jade (13), Rachel (9) and Jared (4). Bill reports that his two girls are real star athletes. Bill coaches the Girls 8th Grade Basketball team @ his girls'school. Bill still works in the insurance field and he specializes in writing commercial insurance packages. Bill is planning on attending the Reunion.

MIKE FAUSETT: Mike called a few nights ago - he was making his vacation plans and wanted to know the date of the Reunion. He is going great guns in the home contracting/construction business in California. He was on his way to hunting and/or fishing in Alaska.

BONNIE HORNE McKEEVER: Bonnie is still in Oklahoma. Sad news is that her 13 year old nephew, Taylor died of cancer just recently and the whole family has been devastated. Taylor had been hospitalized at the time of our last reunion with an unexplained illness which was subsequently disagnosed. Bonnie works for a CPA firm and is planning on attending the reunion.

ART NIGRO: I'm really not sure what's up with ART. I think he is managing The Siam City Hotels & Resorts in Thailand. Be sure to look him up when you are there.

JEANNE ROBERTS STINSON: Jeanne has agreed to be one of our Reunion Co-Chairpersons. She has already done a lot of the leg work for the Reunion. I think this is Jeanne's first reunion or at least she hasn't been to one in a long time. They were stationed in far away places during the last reunions and now are stateside and living in Universal City. Unfortunately, Jeanne's Dad, Eugene (Gene) Roberts passed away right before the Thanksgiving holidays. We are all saddened to hear this news and our deepest sympathies are extended to Jeanne, her mother, Dot and the rest of Jeanne's family. Jeanne and her husband, Steve, have moved into their new home in Universal City and Steve still commutes to Kelly. Her youngest Son, Michael is in the 4th grade. Son, Kelly, goes to college and oldest son, Kyle, is in the Air Force and is soon to be married. Thanks for the newspaper articles.

KAREN POOR PECK: Karen is our second Co-Chairperson for the Reunion Committee. Karen still lives in San Antonio. Karen became a grandma on September 21, 1993 to a beautiful little girl, LAUREN TAYLOR PECK, who was born to Karen's daughter, Courtney. Courtney is attending SAC and Karen's other daughter, Michael-Anne is a Junior at Robert E. Lee High School. Husband, Bob, is still selling Cadillacs. Karen does medical billing consulting in the health care industry.

BONNIE REED ENGLISH - 1968. Bonnie finally kindly corrected the mistake I had made. I had her confused with Karen Reed ('67) who we think is married to Terry English ('67). How I got them all mixed up - I will never know. Bonnie sent me a picture of her and her family who has lived in the San Francisco area for 20 years. Her husband, Bill Gallogly, was a pilot at RAFB and has been flying for Fed Ex for years. Bonnie is a teacher in high school. They have a 15 year old daughter, HILARY, and a 12 year old boy, REED (more confusion!!). The picture was great - It will be added to the Reunion Album - the mountains are beautiful and Bonnie - you look like you could just jump out of the picture and do a cheer! I do remember that you were a cheerleader.

BILL KEM is still in Ponca City, OK and is teaching PE in a Catholic School. His daughter is 15 and in drivers Ed. His son, Kevin, is 18 years old now and is in College and is a professional dancer. Bill also runs a fitness place/gym and his wife runs a dance studio.

DAVID McDOWELL is in Reno, Nevada where he works as a computer programmer writing games for the Gaming Commission. He has been married for 15 years and has three kids, nine, eleven and thirteen. He has an older son, age 21, who attends Johns Hopkins. David also plays in a band and plays 50/60's music. What else?

It was great to hear from JUDY MINOR VILLARI. Judy lives in Savannah, GA. Judy and I have written to each other several times this year and discovered how our lives intertwined without our knowledge. Judy of course is SANDY MINOR's ('63) sister. Judy left Randolph before graduating from RHS but treasures her years at Randolph as we all do. Judy and her husband, Joe, celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in April. Joe is a regional vice president for a pre-owed aircraft sales with Gulfstream Aerospace Corp in Savannah (31 years). Judy has a son, Todd, age 26 from her first marriage. He is a graduate of Winthrop Univ. and has been married for 3 1/2 years. He is an agent for the state of South Carolina in their Probation, parole, and Pardon Services department. Judy and her husband just built a new home which survived the recent floods in Georgia.

PATTIE TYLER writes from Austin where she works for IBM. Pattie is also helping with the Reunion Committee. Pattie took a quick vacation to Colorado for a Rocky Mountain High! Thanks Pattie.

TERRY SMILJANICH sent me a nice picture of him with MICHAEL WAGNER's daughter, RICHON. Richon and her mother Terry were visiting the Smiljanichs this summer. Terry Wagner is working parttime at a school in Westwood (near L.A.) The Smiljanichs are still in the process of building their new home in Gainesville. He says it will look like a cross between a "Florida cracker" and a Japanese home. Terry and his wife, Dorothy, go to all of the U. of Fla. home games in Gainesville and says it will be nicer to have a "home" base when the house is built. Terry is still a lawyer in Tampa/St. Petersburg area but his real love is being the Chairman of the Tampa Bay Skeptics. They expose psychics and faith-healers, and hunt down UFO hoaxes. Terry has written several articles which have appeared in the Tampa Tribune regarding this subject and appears on local radio and television shows.

KRIS STRAND MEYER sent me beautiful pictures of her two granddaughters: ASHLEY and SHERIDAN. Sheridan was born June 8, 1994. Also, Kris, thanks for the newspaper articles. Reading the articles always keeps me up-to-date on the famous/infamous Ro-Hawks. Kris traveled a little this summer, going to Sacramento to help with the delivery of Sheridan and then a trip up north. Kris' Dad had triple by-pass surgery on the first of August and it was a success and he is recuperating nicely. Mom Strand keeps on going, and going and going .....

BILL FITZPATRICK is back at Offut in Omaha, Nebraska. He is back from Saudi and is taking some Master's courses. We are hoping to see Bill at the Reunion.
ANN DORMAN WEDDLE's son Tres graduated from high school this year! Husband Randy is still working for the Red Cross. The Red Cross has really been busy lately. We really need to dig down in our pockets and contribute to the Red Cross for always being there. I am looking forward to seeing Ann and Randy at the Reunion.

JACK WILLIAMS writes from Dallas. He is working for Wyndham and is Senior Vice President of Marketing. Wyndham is part of the Trammell Crow group of companies and includes Wyndham Hotels. He is still single and has continued his involvement in the Romanian orphanages and works with children that are affected with HIV and AIDS. He has a son, T.J. who is a Freshman at A&M and his daughter, Stefani is a senior at Newman Smith HS in Carrollton, TX and will go to SW TX U in San Marcos.

JANET WATKINS JENDRON has sent her first born off to college. Kathleen is attending William and Mary (where Bob and her went). Janet has started working for the Assistive Technology Project for Vocational Rehabilitation. She is still active in LLL and on the Board of Directors. Janet tells me that she called CAROL HINES HOFFMAN while in Austin. Carol's daughter NICCI is at Texas U. Carol wanted to know if anyone had extra year books. Her senior one ('65) got lost in a flood. You know, Judy Minor asked about lost year books too - would anyone know where we can get duplicates or would the school have any? Someone research that for me. OK. Anyway, Janet and family are fine and they plan to come to the Reunion. Thanks for the newspaper articles.

BIG NEWS..... BRUCE CANNON, 1966 Graduate from RHS has returned to RHS as its new Principal!! After graduating from RHS, where Bruce was All-District and named to the All-State team (football) his junior year, Bruce attended the University of Texas at Austin where his emphasis was still on playing football under Darrell Royal. He graduated with a BA in government. He began teaching at Roosevelt High where he began coaching. He joined the Randolph faculty in 1978. He coached under the legendary, Coach Bob Mickler. Bruce was named principal of RHS middle School in 1988 and of the high school in 1993. In 1986 he earned his master's in science and education with an administrative certificate from Texas A &I. He has been married since 1975 and he and his wife, Susie, have two children, Bruce, 14 and Laura, 12.

RO-HAWK WALKS IN SPACE - well, that's not what the evening news said or any of the newspaper headlines, however, it is true. CARL MEADE - Class of 1968 - actually WALKED IN SPACE on September 16, 1964. The launch of his spacecraft Discovery was watched by millions, including my father, BILL CAMPBELL, my son, KELLY GALLAGHER and me. My father drove down to Cape Canaveral from Somerset, KY and me and Kelly and a friend of his drove up to the Cape from Delray Beach, Florida. We met my father at a pre-arranged spot right on time. After a two-hour delay - the Shuttle was launched into a beautiful blue sky. To actually be there and see the boosters fall away from the spacecraft and see the shuttle disappear downrange is exciting to say the least. We waited 6 hours in the heat and humidity, with a lightening storm passing overhead, all for a few minutes of awesome (strength, beauty - can't put in words) - - 2 hour delay - 9 minute hold - then lift off! On the day Carl walked in Space I called my good friends NANCY OLSEN GIAMBALVO and ANN DORMAN WEDDLE to tell them that he was walking in space that very moment. (it was a band thing). I thank Cad for giving us the opportunity to again attend a launch. The last one was overcast and we didn't see much (except for lift-off) This one was just magnificent. Thank you Carl - Can I have your autograph?

THANK YOU FOR THE DONATIONS: HAYNES BAUMGARDNER, MIKE FAUSETT, JUDY MINOR VILLARI, MRS. RUBY FITZPATRICK, BONNIE REED GALLOGLY, and BILL BORELLIS. If I missed your name, I'm sorry. I appreciate everyone's help in any way, shape or form. I cannot thank you enough .... the only thing I can say is THANK YOU.

20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Dear Friends:

This month marks the 20th year I have been writing this newsletter. It is really hard to believe - sometimes it feels like only yesterday and then again - it really feels like 20 years!

This newsletter has really taken me a long time to finish. I started it so many times this past month and just have gotten side-tracked too many times. "Fortunately" for me almost all of you sent me Christmas newsletters - some of them being two pages I I When I got this computer, my idea was to enter a paragraph for each letter I received when I received it and then when it was time to print the newsletter - I could just push a button! NOT!! That idea never got off the ground. What I usually do is spend two or three nights staying up really late when it is really quiet and I can think. (In other words, there is nothing left on TV to distract me). I have crammed 6 months of letters into three nights - I try to pick out the important, funny, interesting items from each letter. It is really hard to do because all of you are so interesting and lead such diverse lives. It is a real emotional roller coaster for me to write this newsletter and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am a little handicapped at this time in that I have had trouble with my shoulder which froze up on me and the doctor I was going to took a long time diagnosing the problem as adhesive capsulation and now I'm in therapy to loosen it up. It is very painful and frustrating and is making me feel very old.

I spent most of the summer going through 20 years of cards and letters and placing each letter in a plastic sheet and placing them in notebooks. So far I have four 31' binders and I'm only halfway through the alphabet Mike Wagner's letters alone fill one whole notebook. It has been great re-reading your letters. Let me also say that when you tell me that you have been re-reading old newsletters - it really thrills me that you kept all of them. Thank you for that. You are really very special people.

My family is doing fine. My daughter, Allison and her two little boys, STEPHEN and COLE, came to live with us two months ago. She is getting divorced after three years. She has a job at a law firm and is doing fine. Hopefully, the divorce will be granted without dragging on and she can get on with her life.

MARK and KYLE continue to do well in their furniture refinishing business - although their business management leaves a lot to be desired.

My husband DANNY, is enjoying his boat as much as he possibly can. He just doesn't get it that I do not like the boat, the ocean or the outdoors for that matter! Him and the boys go out and actually catch fish. Since neither of us like fish too much our neighbors are reaping the spoils. They have taken to ordering certain kinds of fish even. I just don't understand why anyone would slingshot their way out an inlet into the ocean and put five or six different poles out and slowly zig zag their way up the coast trying to catch fish! I went the other day and after two hours almost fell asleep and then Dan says - "You up for another hour?" Uh, Noooo - I'm not. I'd almost rather be at work! Otherwise, in his spare time Danny is still a sales manager at a car dealership.

Our son Kelly will be 12 in a few months. I'm still very paranoid about him and some people say I have sheltered him and spoiled him a little too much. "So what," I say He's my baby and always will be. We are hoping to place him in a private school for 7th and 8th grade and hopefully he'll do well enough to be accepted into the local Catholic High School when the time comes.

Then there is my Mom and Dad - they are still reeling from their 50th Anniversary AND still getting cards and letters from old friends. Dad attended a motorcycle safety class - aced it. He is also a member of the local American Legion. They do military funerals. Six retired servicemen put on their uniforms and act as pall bearers at funerals. It is a really impressive ceremony. I know this because I have seen the infomercial of the Pulaski Funeral Home of Somerset, Kentucky. My Dad of course was the star. He bought a new uniform complete with a new full set of ribbons and stars. They do about three funerals a week.

My brother FRED was almost blown away by the tornado that hit the Dallas suburb of Lancaster and DeSoto. His fence was blown down and he had some roof damage, however he is mostly distressed because he hasn't been able to locate his Old Smokey Bar-B-Que which was in his back yard! His new business is still going great guns.

30TH YEAR REUNION

The 30th Reunion is coming up in a year..... JUNE, 1995 - that's not very long. I am hereby requesting volunteers for organizing the reunion celebration. It will be hard to top the last one - It was so well orchestrated and successful. Could we be that lucky again? I will be able to travel to San Antonio for a steering committee meeting - however ... I really depend on you 'locals" there in and around Randolph AFB to really get things in order. I await your calls and letters - OTHERWISE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS HAD SUCH GOOD SUPPORT. Please help me think of what we can do this year - anything goes - As long as I don't have to put on a swimsuit

Dear Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!!

The Gallagher family has been busy this past six months. Danny's oldest son, David, graduated from high school and is now in the Army at Ft. Sill and eventually will be stationed at Ft. Knox. Our son, Kelly, had an eventful summer. First he flew to Kentucky to stay with my parents, then my Dad and Kelly drove down here and stayed two weeks, then they both drove back to Kentucky and Kelly stayed 2 weeks, then Kelly flew back home. Kelly is in his first year of Junior High School (6th grade). Danny calls him "Mr. Hormone". While Kelly was gone, Danny and I flew to New York City and drove to Eddyville, NY, near Woodstock where Dan's aunt lives. We visited Woodstock, the Vanderbilt and Roosevelt mansions and all the upper New York tourist stops. Then we spent a wonderful night in New York City. We went to see the play TOMMY and ate at Planet Hollywood and rode a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park back to our hotel. That was really an experience! We had a free room at the Stanhope Hotel (courtesy of my boss' brother). It was located right across from the Met. Museum next to Central Park so it was even more extravagant! ! I was told we could have taken the robes - but we didn't - They were so big and our suitcases were so small- I was embarrassed to just carry them through the lobby! So we left New York robeless. Then on September 15th, Danny surprised me with a 15th anniversary dinner with all the kids and a limo ride to a really upscale Yuppie place in Boca Raton! Danny bought a 22' Hydrasport boat a few months ago (well, we are in Florida). He and the boys enjoy fishing in the ocean every chance they get.

The really BIG THING we did just recently was that we SURPRISED my Mom and Dad with a visit in Kentucky on their 50th Wedding Anniversary! We all (me, Dan, Kelly, Allison, Travis, Stephen, Cole, Mark and Kyle) arrived on November 27th (18 hours in a RV from Florida to Kentucky). We totally surprised them as did lots of their friends by sending cards, letters and flowers. They were married December 1, 1943. Our trip was uneventful and the weather was great and we all got along terrific. I couldn't have paid my grandsons to act as good as they did. We had the 5th generation slide down granny's stairs!!! It was a really GREAT trip!!

My daughter, Allison, thought this newsletter idea was so great that she started contacting her graduating class a few months ago and just sent out her first Newsletter! Her 10th anniversary is approaching - My God, am I THAT OLD!! No, No, my daughter is old, I'm still 17! Anyway, Allison got a lot of responses and she is going to give it a try. Of course it is nice to have access to our office computers. I remember when I started typing the newsletter I had my old Royal portable I got as a graduation gift from high school - no I didn't have a typewriter, I hand wrote everything - no, no - I hand wrote every letter and sent it out by pony express. Anyway, I'm proud that she is carrying on the torch.

My older sons, Mark and Kyle, are really busy with their furniture refinishing business. They got their foot in the door with the insurance companies and the past year has been very good. They have offered to buy the townhouse they are renting from us. They work for themselves, however, they do jobs for their father, CHUCK PECHULS, too, who is in the same business.

Dear Friends:

I'm late getting this out, however, you probably won't even realize it. I started to write and I realized that I have received more letters and cards than I realized and I have my work cut out for me!

We started off the New Year with a block party which was a great success. My husband, Danny, is now a finance director at Palm Beach Auto Mall in West Palm Beach. Danny had a funny experience this year when he accidentally shaved off part of his beard. He went to trim his beard with his electric shaver and before he realized that the guard was off the shaver he had already shaved a big part of his beard and had to shave the rest off as well! He hasn't tried to regrow the beard yet. The worse part of it was that I didn't notice it was off until he said something about it later. We went to the Miami Grand Prix and rode the TriRail (South Florida's new commuter train) to Miami to see it. That was a fun experience. Miami isn't that far but the train made it quicker and we didn't have to fight traffic. On Valentine's Day my parents were down visiting us - Allison had her boys dedicated in her church and then we all drove down to Homestead to look at how it has come along since the Hurricane. It is really still a mess down there. We tried to get on the base but were turned away at the gate. In May we went to our timeshare in Vero Beach, Florida and also went to Universal Studios. That place is great. If you get down to Orlando and do the Disney thing, you need to go to Universal or MGM too.

My son, Kelly (10), was one of the safety patrols that got stranded in Washington DC in March during the "Great Storm of >93". The children were well cared for although very cold even though we had prepared them for the worst - lots of the kids "lost" their warm hats, mittens, etc. They spent 30 hours on the train returning from DC and their return trip was delayed a day. We were beside ourselves during that train ride because Am Track could not give us any information. But they did return home with lots of stories and Kelly also came back with 102 degree fever and ended up with bronchitis for weeks. But he will remember this for the rest of his life. Kelly also ended his 5th grade year as the Student Council President and will begin his middle school career this fall. The new middle school is being built right down the street from us, however, it will not be ready to occupy until next fall so he will have to attend the old school for one year. He was also on the All Stars team in little league baseball this year and continues to take Karate.
Allison (24) is working in my law office now as a receptionist. She's working part time in the mornings until 2:00 then another girl comes in. It has worked out good for her and she found a good place for the boys. Cole "Eric the Red" will be one in August (our little Hurricane Baby!) and Stevie turned 3 in February. They continue to grow and learn things every day. The red hair gene from my mom's side of the family has finally caught up with Cole. I think it's the real thing and it isn't going to change.

Mark and Kyle left the antique store and rented a warehouse and continue to refinish and repair furniture. They are doing well and are really busy. They work so hard and are such good boys or I should say men now - they are 23. It is so hard to believe so much time has passed.

Mom and Dad continue to be blessed with good health - aside from heart problems that seem to be under control at this time. We are hoping that they will be able to join us for another visit in July. Kelly will turn 11 and I have a birthday in July and Danny has Marlin's tickets. I think the Marlin game will take priority. Also this year is -a big one for Mom and Dad as they will celebrate their 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY on December 1st.

Surprising things will be happening during the next few months for them - can't say just what or when - but I think they will just have to keep on their toes and watch for them.

My brother FRED CAMPBELL (>69) is living with his wife, Sharon, in Dallas. Fred just passed his broker's exam and has opened his own real estate business. Sharon is a paralegal with a Dallas law firm and also has her real estate license. Congratulations Bro - Way to Go!!

I still work as a paralegal in a small law firm in Boca Raton - keeping busy with Kelly and his activities. I baby sit for my grandsons and usually have lunch with my girlfriends during the day. Danny and I try to get out once in a while, however his schedule is very unpredictable we just usually do things on the spur of the moment. Makes life interesting!

Receiving your letters still gives me a thrill. I love hearing from all of you and what you and your family are doing. By the tone of your letters, you like the same thing. I picked up a couple of new names this go around and hope to be able get this out to everyone in time for summer. I also have made copies of all of my newsletters and if anyone would like a combined copy of them I will mail it to you for the price of postage ($2.90). Also, if you would like a copy of the mailing list for any reason or just want someone's address just let me know. Just keep the cards and letters coming and I look forward to hearing from you in November/December before the next newsletter. Remember December 15th is the deadline so get those Christmas cards out to me early.

MYSTERIES OF LIFE TO PONDER: Why do kids tattle on each other for the least little unimportant thing, and protect each other in deepest secrecy on the issues that parents REALLY need to know? How do you teach people the location of the trash can and laundry room? Would kids EVER clean their rooms without being asked? Why do kids bring heavy book bags home and leave them in the middle of the kitchen floor and have no homework? Why does everything cost so much? Are there some players who are really allergic to playing defense? Does sibling rivalry ever end? Why will a non-meat eater devour a McDonald's hamburger? Is ketchup a vegetable? Will we ever consent to leave our children alone in the house for a weekend? How is sick child miraculously healed when he gets invited to the movies? Why can't you find those things you put in a special place so you'd remember where they are?

These and other questions were posed at the end of Janet Watkins' last letter. If anyone has the answers please contact her directly.

Love,

MERRY CHRISTMAS - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Dear Friends:
Another six months has passed... lots of letters were received and items of interest will follow. I thank all of you who wrote letters and sent donations. My ever-growing number of friends continues to encircle me with love and strength. Our family has grown by one this year. My daughter, Allison, gave birth to a son, COLE ERIC DENSON, on August 23rd - the day before Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida. Allison spent the night the Hurricane hit in the hospital with her new son - away from the family, but safer than any of us would have been had the hurricane hit us directly. As it was we were spared any destruction except for fallen trees and a few roof tiles blown off. A mere 30-40 miles south of here is so desolate you just can't imagine. If anyone has been stationed at Homestead AFB you would not recognize it if you were to travel there today. It stands empty - no planes, no buildings, no people. Trees in south Florida are bare except for the new buds sprouting from stripped limbs. There is still no power or phones in some places - three months after! As long as my little grandson lives we will always refer to his birthday as "the day before Hurricane Andrew" and we will remember. Life goes on and continues to remind us that we do survive and love and care about others.

The rest of the family is well. Danny just went to a new job with another Toyota dealership in Ft. Lauderdale. My son, Kelly, was elected Student Council President and is on the Safety Patrol in fifth grade. He is already at work on his resume. Mark and Kyle are still working for the antique store here in Delray Beach. I didn't mention this in the last newsletter but I left the large law firm I was with to be with my boss who also left and started his own firm with a friend. There are two attorneys and two secretaries and a receptionist. Quite a change from 27 attorneys and a staff of 701 It is soooo much quieter and soooo much less stressful. We did this in February and everything is going great for everyone. Our office is still in Boca Raton. My weekends are spent taking Kelly to the sport of the day, preparing for my 5th grade CCD class and/or spending time with Allison and my grandchildren.

On June 25th we were honored to be special guests of Col. Carl Meade, USAF, Mission Specialist (Alumni of RHS) for the lift-off of Space Shuttle Mission STS-50. It was an exciting two days we enjoyed as a family driving to Cape Canaveral where my parents met us from Kentucky. Unfortunately, the weather was not clear and there was low cloud cover but we were situated only 4 miles across the bay from the launch pad and saw the shuttle as it lifted off and disappeared into the clouds in the most amazing light and sound you can imagine! It was an experience I can not forget and I'm sure Carl can't. This is Carl's second shuttle mission. Thanks again, Carl, for giving us the opportunity to take advantage of such a memorable time.

In August, I took a lone trip to Bellingham, Washington (north of Seattle) to visit a friend (not an Alumni). I was hoping to get in some much needed reading on my long trip, however, from Atlanta to Seattle my seat-mate was a Pentecostal gospel singer who talked for three non-stop hours. It was interesting, if not inspirational I gave up on my book and just rented the movie (PRINCE OF TIDES). My trip was so wonderful and my friend and I drove all over the area and into Canada, actually, British Columbia. The scenery is breathtaking for this Texas/Florida girl.

We traveled to Vancouver and looked up Randy Scott. Randy would have graduated in 1965 from RHS if he had stayed, however, his family was transferred and he eventually graduated from high school in California. Randy and I were also freshmen at Schertz-Cibolo High school. Randy teaches school in a private school in Vancouver and also owns a bookstore. He is married and has four children.

After 4 days in Seattle I flew to Dallas to visit my brother FRED CAMPBELL and his lovely wife Sharon and their little snorting dog, Sunomi. My parents (BILL AND FRAN CAMPBELL) met me there and we had a nice three-day visit. Our first reunion in over 15 years! We took lots of pictures. It was a blast when at dinner we were reminiscing and all remembered certain events differently from each of our points of view.

While in Dallas, I had dinner with Chuck's brother Brett and his wife, Anne. As always, Brett cooked a delicious meal. I also spent the night with PAM McCALL SMITH and Pam and I had lunch with NANCY OLSEN GIAMBALVO. I had not seen Nancy in over 23 years. Unfortunately, one of the days that I have planned to spend on the phone to those of you who live in Dallas, I was sick. Jet lag, I guess. Anyway, I had a marvelous time!

Upon my return, Kelly and Danny went to the Keys for the weekend (their planned week-long trip had to be cut down to a week-end because of certain work restraints). Thank God, because that weekend was the weekend the Hurricane hit and they were close by. They had to cut that trip even shorter and get home because the hotel closed up. On top of all that has happened, Danny hasn't had a cigarette in over three months! Way to go Dan!

NEWS FROM ALL OVER!

ANN DORMAN WEDDLE has moved to San Antonio where she joins her husband, Randy. Randy works for the Red Cross in an executive position and Ann is working for the Northeast School District as a secretary and their son, Tres is a junior at McArthur. Daughter, Mandy, is attending Iowa State.

STEVE BURGOON called to see if I had blown away and told me that he had moved to Navasota, Texas. Isn't that somewhere near Aggie Land?

Thanks to BILL BORELLIS on the homefront in California trying to survive separation from his wife Nancy and writing me constantly supporting letters. If divorce is not enough stress, Bill is a Trustee with the Los Angeles Public School Board

Earl says Kevin has long hair and is in a rock and roll band. So? - Is life a full circle or what?

JANET FRANCIS MURILLO graduated from Houston Baptist University in May -- Way to go Janet!!!

RON BERGQUIST is stateside after 8 years in Germany. He is in Monterey, California as Assistant Commandant of the Defense Language Institute. Twenty languages are taught there at the institute and Ron and his wife graduated from the institute in 1978. Glad to have you back. Hopefully, you will continue to stay in the US long enough to attend a Reunion. 1995 is just around the corner.

BILL CAMPBELL, my Dad - has figured out how to get his name in the newsletter -- he sent a donation. Dad, your name appears in this edition generously - thank you. Dad (otherwise known as BILL CAMPBELL) told me if I didn't mention him he would give my two-year-old grandson a can of instant shave cream, show him how it works, turn him loose in my bathroom and close the door! (I just hope I spelled his name correctly!). Thanks Dad.

BILL FITZPATRICK is now base commander at K.I. SAWYER AFB in Michigan. Congrats.

ART NIGRO opened his new Sheraton in Birmingham. He's got 770 rooms so go visit him! He also tells of doing business with LINDA MOLLESTON who works for the Freeman companies and with the Professional Conference Management Association. (Linda still lives in Alexandria). Art and his wife, Sheila celebrated 122 Anniversary in June - Their kids, Chris is 21 and Lori is 18.

Congratulations to TERESA DEARZA who welcomed her first grandchild - a girl. Welcome to the club. I can't believe I still don't have a picture....

BRUCE ZIMMERMAN has moved to the jungles of Costa Rica with his two sons. As he states, there is no TV, no Nintendo and no Pizza Hut. He is taking a year off to research the territory for his fourth book. I am waiting anxiously for the new book which is out in December. Look for it in your book stores soon .... Unfortunately, movies have not been discussed, so you will have to read the book.

DEBBIE DUSARD got married! (Wasn't that a movie?) She married Jack Earthman on August 4th. Her new husband is an architect and they continue to live in Houston. Their honeymoon was spent in Spain and Italy. Debbie works as Director of Student Services at the Art Institute of Houston and has worked there for the last 12 years. Congratulations!

MARK BASTIAN wrote to tell me he moved to Atlanta, GA. near Emory University.

Rumor has it that ex-RES faculty/office members, JACK POSEY and DORIS SANDERS spent a vacation traveling around Europe this year. Mr. Posey is still teaching at SAC and working at the Lone Star Brewery. Ms. Sanders is retired.
Also, ex-teacher, JOE SCROGGINS took a few vacations this year also, but stayed close to home which is Missouri.

BONNIE HORN McKEEVER is separated/divorced from her husband and has moved back to Tulsa.

I also heard from PATTIE TYLER who is enjoying her new home in Austin. She tells me that GEORGE McCLUGHAN is hard a work on a documentary film about the Indianapolis (WWII).

News from KAREN POOR PECK - still in San Antonio and with two girls in high school. Scream......... Looking for a party Karen .... You'll have to wait 'til '95 - I can't get there any sooner... SO turn on the lights to the City so I can see -- I'm wearing trifocals now!

I received a belated holiday letter from KAREN KNOX CAMPBELL (in April for Christmas 1991) Boy they must be really busy. All's well with them. They still live near Memphis and report that they think they saw Elvis at the Walgreens in town in July. Seriously, I am getting a little punchy .. They had a few lovely vacations and even came to Florida. (I did not get a call). Kids, Joel (11) and Anna (6) are doing fine and Karen is actively involved in her children, family and church groups.

Lastly, but not in the least, KRIS STRAND MEYER, my official reporter of news in San Antonio and official patter-on-the-back. Kris, I told you that teenaged daughters were from another world! They do not walk to the same drummer until they are at least 23! Kris is hoping to graduate from her studies at San Marcos in May and her daughter Melissa will also graduate in May from Cal State. Son, Justin is in third grade and keeps her sane. (I find that unbelievable) I Daughter, Lauren, is walking to that other drummer, however she is still in school where she is a Junior.

I have been in contact with JACK WILLIAMS - Class of '69 and ROBERT FUTCH - Class of '64. Robert Futch did not graduate from Randolph, however he was on the first ever football team at RHS and is now currently living in Houston with his wife, Donna. Jack Williams lives in Dallas, graduated from SWTSU and is currently Vice President for a division of Ford Motor Company called The Associates. He is divorced and has two children. Jack wrote that he had to opportunity to visit Rumania last June to help in an orphanage there.

UNFORTUNATELY, bad news came again on May 19th. Coach ROBERT MICKLER and his wife, Louise were killed in an automobile accident in Mexico. Coach was RHS's first coach and led the RoHawks to a 215-55-11 record before leaving in 1988. I know you join me in sadness over this tragic news. Our hearts go out to his family and his three children.

THANK YOU FOR THE DONATIONS FROM MAY, 1992 - RON BERGQUIST, ART NIGRO, SGT. AND MRS. FITZPATRICK, $BILL CAMPBELL$, PATTIE TYLER, DEBBIE DUSARD AND TERRY SMILJANICH - YOU KEEP ME GOING STRONGII

"There is nothing so moving -- not even acts of love or hate -- as the discovery that one is not alone." Robert Ardrey

Thank you my friends and have a Great Holiday Season!

COMMENTARY (Regarding Sex in Space)
BY: BILL CAMPBELL
As I look back I guess I should have known that this was inevitable. This is the 1990's. In the 1920's the young people had nothing so exciting as a SpaceCraft circling the earth. There was the barn where two could "slip away". But there were animals and it was difficult to perform with a cow sadly looking on. In the barn-' there was always a large feed box. Large enough for two. This had its drawbacks also because there was always some Smart Alec that would make sure everyone was aware that there could be little wide eyed mice in the feed box. It was difficult to do anything with a hysterical mouse on the loose. So we move on to the 1930's and the rumble seat, but that was even smaller than the Volkswagen. Now keep in mind that we had no "Well respected Sex Educators, Counselors or Therapists. Since there was no such thing as Government Funded (Tax money) Research there was no one interested in showing how to overcome those early problems. We come now to the 50's through the 80's. We have Government Grants and all of those wonderful people doing all the research. They never come up with answers, they just remove the problems such as feed boxes, rumble seats and Volkswagens. So now we are told that research will continue into the 90's. Contingent upon the availability of tax money, of course. But then there is nothing remaining on earth to study, so we must go into space. Oh, this brings up another question. Depending on the outcome of this study, is it possible that one day all of us will be required to go into space if we want to "Slip Around"? In which case my rights will be violated.... I have a "Fear of Flying".

Dear Friends:

As some of you know, during the week of January 18, 1992, Michael Wagner was told that he was suffering from a brain tumor. The prognosis was terminal with only one to six months to live. Michael decided to fight it with all available means and entered into chemo and radiation therapy. After about five weeks he was told that the tumor was not reacting to the treatment and it was decided to end the treatment. That was three weeks ago. He called me April 1, 1992 to tell me good-bye. On Thursday, April 23, Michael died. The cancer had stolen so much of his mind so fast that he didn't have time for too many good-byes. Michael is gone now. My dear friend is gone'. I won't be getting any more letters from him - he won't make me laugh anymore. During our last conversation Michael wanted me to tell everyone how much he appreciated the many, many cards and letters he received the last few months. He read some of the names to me and he said, "Thank you", Gloria, "Tell them thank you for me. It made a difference. Tell them it made a difference." So, from the bottom of Michael's heart and the bottom of my heart, Thank you for taking the time to buy that card or write that letter. You made a difference in someone's life and death, It only goes to show that there is something very special about the relationship we all have with each other. I made a few calls to people I could contact to tell them about Michael and the response was beautiful. I am very sorry if I was unable to contact you for one reason or the other. Michael's mailbox was filled to overflowing and he called me sometime in February to tell me that he was glad that I had called everyone and had just gone out to the mailbox again and found another pile of cards. He was so happy and thrilled. SWEET DREAMS, MICHAEL HAVE A PEACEFUL SLEEP. I LOVE YOU.

IN SYMPATHY
Our hearts go out to Terry Wagner and her daughter, Richon. The loss they feel cannot be measured. Also to his sister, Jill and his other family members, how sorry we all feel. Also to his good, close friends, Terry Smilianich and Bill Borellis. Jill wrote me that Michael asked that we celebrate his life, not morn his death. A memorial service was held at the home of Jill and her husband, Robbie Porter on Thursday, April 30th. If you wish to make a gift in memory of Michael you can do so by sending it to Cancer Research, Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA 90048.

We are also saddened to learn of the deaths of WILLIAM (BILL) P. RIMMER (Janis Rimer Muske's brother) who died February 1, 1992. Also our arms are around KATHY DAILEY NORTON and her family regarding the death of her father, ED DAILEY.

She has hooked up with Jan Ownbey Link and Pat Manganello Fales. Son Kevin married last year and in January Teresa joined the grandmother club in January. I did not get an announcement yet, so I don't know what it was. Son Jason is a Florida Gator.

Received my annual picture from JANET WATKINS JENDRON. The four kids are growing like weeds. Janet is president of the Columbia Dance Theatre this year. All four kids are in dance. Kathleen is a sophomore and guess what, a cheerleader. Chip off the old split jump. Trip is in 7th grade, Danny 5th grade and Claudia, 3rd grade. Husband, Bob is still after those drug smugglers. Janet is also very active with La Leche League and BOB AND JANET CELEBRATED 20 YEARS OF WEDDED "BLISS?" IN AUGUST.

I talked with MONTE MAHR this past few month and he and his family went on a trip to New Mexico to visit his sister, Teri and on to Colorado.

Also, I have to apologize to John Swinney - John I know I talked to you on January 5th, but I was taking notes on very small pieces of paper and you were telling me about yourself and your brother(s)? and my information is all confusing. Please write me and straighten me out. Thanks.

LOST PEOPLE
Several newsletters were returned and I resent them to the forwarding addresses, but I do not have a forwarding address for Jay Eldridge or Lewis Bailey (Hopson) and one of the newsletters was returned without a cover 50 I don't know who it was sent to, so if you did not get a newsletter in December let me know and I will send you a copy.

ME

Nothing much has changed in the Gallagher household since Christmas. I took two straight weeks off (which I have never done before) and Danny, Kelly and I drove up to North Carolina to a little place named Hayesville. There we met up with Danny's brother and his wife and son. They have some land with a trailer on it right by a river. We arrived Christmas Eve. The next morning it was so beautiful - no snow - but frost all over the ground with that smoke like haze from the river. My mom and dad showed up about lunch time from Kentucky and Danny's aunt Lilo from New York came also. Aunt Lilo stayed in a bed and breakfast a few miles away. No TV, no phones, not much of anything for four days. My son and his cousin built fires and burned garbage, hiked through the woods and visited Danny's old summer camp in the mountains not far from where we were. Danny and I also had a great drive over the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was just great. The drive back was a nightmare though - rain and fog from North Carolina to Ocala, Florida where we finally stopped for the night. I was really glad to be home. I don't do car riding too well and had to go right to the Chiropractor to be readjusted. Anyway, New Years Eve was uneventful - so much so, I don't really remember what we did. In February, Danny and I were remarried in the church and had a little reception in our home. Kelly was the altar boy at the ceremony. My daughter has blessed us with the news that she and her husband, Travis are expecting a little boy in August. Grandson, Stevie is 2 years old now and of course the smartest little boy in the whole world. My youngest son, Kelly, will be 10 in July. He is playing baseball this year for the first time and Danny is helping coach and umpire. Kelly just got back from a trip to Kentucky during his spring break to visit my parents. It was his first plane trip by himself and Danny and I were so bored while he was gone - NOT -. We also have a new addition to the family - a cute little white dog (Bichon) named Sparkle. Mark and Kyle's new business is really going good and they are developing such a good self-image and pride in their work and they are building quite a name for themselves in this area. Danny and I are lucky that our jobs are going well and our kids are doing great - We have a lot of things to be thankful for. We hope that you all enjoy a great summer. This newsletter is early so it will be a long eight or nine months until the next letter - so please keep in touch with me and let me know how you are. If I don't hear from you I have nothing to write - Take care of yourselves and each other and for all of you who responded to my request to send cards and letters to Michael, thank you again. This has been such a sad and heartwrenching three months for me and talking to some of you on the telephone has been very helpful. A special thank you to Bill Borellis for just being there for me and for Michael.

LOVE,
GLORIA >65

HIGH FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 1992!!

This letter finds the GALLAGHER family well after having a good year. The highlight of this year was of course my daughter, Allison's marriage to Travis Denson in June. It was a small affair. but real cute with her son Stephen and my son. Kelly being the ring bearers. When Stephen and Kelly walked down the aisle to the altar Stephen got loose and started back up the aisle to Allison as she and my husband, Danny were walking down the aisle. Someone reached
down and picked him up and all proceeded as planned. It really broke the ice and relaxed Allison a little! Allison is working for a Federally funded day-care center where Stephen attends. Her new husband is a bank teller and also has a car valet business. In March Allison will turn 23 and little Stephen will be TWO in February. In September, Mark and Kyle broke away from their Dad and started working on their own. They have a furniture restoration business and they have been keeping busy. They have been working in Delray for this man who bought a historical home in the city and opened for business as an antique dealer and tea room. The home was once owned by the first mayor and founder of Delray Beach. Mark has his own little shop on the premises where he work for the Sundy House and for himself. Kyle has been concentrating on different jobs where he goes to the person's own home and restores/refinishes the piece there. They can fix anything except glass and restore furniture that has been damaged by fire or flood. It has been slow but they have been busy. A sad set-back is that Mark had an accident the other day and they are down to one vehicle. Thank God he wasn't injured, just an injury to his pride. They will be 22 in April. My youngest son. Kelly, 9 1/2 had a big year in basketball. His team ended up in last place but he had a lot of fun. Now he is into Soccer and so far his team is enjoying first place. That is a little easier to take. He is in fourth grade and doing well in school. He is also an Alter Boy at our church. I have really been blessed with some great children. Danny, Kelly and I went on a vacation to Washington D.C. in August. First, we went to Somerset. Kentucky to visit my parents for three days. They filled our three days with trips all over in and around their area. We rode on a train that took us to an old coal mine that has been made into a tourist attraction. We listened to some old country hill-billy music and just plain relaxed in the comfort of their home. Then it was off D.C. An old friend met us at the airport and took us to their house in Reston, Virginia. My friends also had another couple and their two kid visiting and also their daughter was home from college. It was a full house but it worked out really 4eil. (After that experience my friends went to Hawaii for some well deserved R&R) The first two days were filled with museums and the D.C. tour. We visited all the monuments and attractions that we could cram in. We went to the Smithsonian Institute's Air and Space Museum and found that by pushing a button in front of the shuttle exhibition I could read all about the astronauts. I found Carl Meade's name and found out all the information there was on him and his mission. It was neat reading about someone I knew who was already in the history books! We also got to tour the White House in a private tour which was arranged by none other than PHIL MOSELEY. After our tour of the White House we were to go to Phil's office by the Capitol Building. Danny decided to walk instead of taking the underground or a taxi. After all we could see the Capitol and it didn't look all that far. Well after an exhausting 40-minute walk with Danny carrying two Reunion photo albums that Phil had requested to see, we made it to the Capitol steps. It was uphill all the way to Phil's office next door in the Longworth Building. Phil took us on a tour of his office and building and then we went over to the Capitol and met a man from the Historical Society who took us all on a private tour of the Capitol. After about 2 hours we were totally exhausted both mentally and physically and Phil treated us to lunch at the cafeteria of his building. Then he dropped us off at yet another museum and met us a few hours later and took us for dinner at his house. LINDA MOLLESTON met us there and we had a lovely supper reminiscing about old times at RHS. The tours were unbelievable and memorable and the hospitality so gracious. I will never be able to thank Phil and his wife Norah for going out of their way and their very busy schedules to make the time for us and arrange the special tours. On the fourth day of our stay we were so tired that neither of us wanted to venture out of the house so we stayed in and had a great visit with our hosts, Larry and Cindy Lewis. We had dinner in old Alexandria and walked along the restored streets. Larry had gone to high school in Germany with Chuck and I went to high school with Cindy at Lee High School in Springfield, Virginia in 1963. A strange coincidence when I re-met Cindy as a new bride while I was dating Chuck in 1965. We have remained good friends since. ('In our last evening, Larry took us into D.C. for a last look at night. The Vietnam Memorial was very moving, especially SO Since my friend Larry and the other guy visiting him are Vets. It was a terrific vacation and about the longest we have taken since we were married and we will always remember it and the great time we had.

PHIL MOSELEY is the Minority Chief of Staff of the Republican Ways and Means Committee. I had not seen Phil since about 1969 or 1970 and that is too long for friends to be apart. Phil is just a tall as ever and just the nice person he always was. His wife Norah works in the same department as a tax professional so they see each other all the time. They have two children, son, Clay (7) and daughter, Kendall (12). They live in Alexandria, Virginia commute into D.C. every day.

LINDA MOLLESTON McKINNEY lives in Alexandria as well and not too far away from Phil and Norah although their lives and work do not allow them to come in contact with each other it was nice that we could all arrange to be together while Danny and I were there. Linda looked great and has completely recovered from her back injury she suffered last year. She is even back to riding her horses.

I wanted to visit PAM MURRAH STURGIS but it was too far to her home in Maryland and we couldn't coordinate a time or place. She states that all is well with her and her husband Graham and the rest of the family. Her boys are 9 and 12 now. She is continuing her education to become an elementary school teacher. She also told me that her sister TANA is well and is still dividing her time between nursing and being a stewardess for United Air Lines. She has a little 3 year old boy. Tony.
ART NIGRO is living in Birmingham, Alabama and anticipating the January 6th opening of the new Sheraton Civic Center where he is the General Manager. This year he and his wife, Sheila celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a trip to France. They have a daughter named Lauri who is 17 and a son, Chris who is 20 and attending Carnegie Mellon University. Art says they civic center has 800 rooms, so come by and stay awhile if you are in Birmingham.

JANET FRANCIS MURILLO is twice blessed this year. (No not twins!) Her son John got married in the beginning of the year and then in October Janet became a grandmother of a beautiful little granddaughter named Jennifer Lynn. Congratulations to all!! Janet is due to finish college in May 1992 with her RN.

I received a note from DICKIE BUCHERT O'BANION and she says all is well with her family and that she has moved to a new home in San Antonio. TERESA DEARZA CUSHING has also moved as well as BETTY FICKE BONHAM and I will put the new addresses at the end of this newsletter if space permits.

I received a beautiful framed photograph from JOE SCROGGINS. Joe's hobby is photography and he has a great eye for interesting photos. Joe works the evening shift for the phone company in Ballwin, MO. After just a few years in Missouri he has decided to return to Texas, but will have to wait until he sells his condo.
MARK BASTIAN is in San Francisco working as a private investigator. His brother DAVID BASTIAN is living in Wasilla, Alaska and his sister GINNY BASTIAN is now living in Hendersonville, Tennessee and has a cleaning business.

I spoke with SANDY HOLT LYDA who is well and still living in San Antonio. She tells me that her brother GENE has been off sided with a serious illness. Gene and his wife live in Plano. We are hoping that Gene is back on the road to recovery soon.
KEN DEVERS who works as an electrician/maintenance technician for an insurance company in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Ken and his wife, Trudy also celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this year and they went to Las Vegas (without the children). Their daughter, Bridget is 14 and in 9th grade and other daughter Audra, 19, is out of school and working. Ken did a complete makeover of their kitchen. I wish you lived closer 'cause my kitchen could sure use a make-over. I didn't win the Regis and Kathie Lee Kitchen Make-over contest this year.

DID YOU KNOW THAT REGGIE RIVERS of the Denver Broncos is a Randolph Alumni? MIKE WAGNER writes as always funny and informative about his life and his family. In March while playing basketball is ripped ligaments in is left knee. After surgery and therapy he has recovered. Mike, his wife, Terry and TERRY AND DOROTHY SMILJANICH took a 10 day vacation in May. They went to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos. Mesa Verde, Moab, Monument Valley, the ('rand Canyon and Flagstaff. Mike even did some hiking with his knee brace. He tells me this is the third vacation they have spent with the Smilianichs and they haven't killed each other yet. (Did you every see Plaza Suite with Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor in the vacation scene?)

RO-HAWK STORM ISSUE

Hm:(407)498-0157Wk:(407)997-0095

This is going to be a long newsletter. I received lots of cards and letters and newspaper articles. I thank you all for that. This has been some year -- for all of us and for me personally. A lot of RoHawks have been really busy. From Carl Meade going u p in space to all those Ro-Hawks that were a part of Desert Shield/Storm to those of us here at home who supported the United States in our own special way. I didn't know any of us were over there - I suspected - but didn't know. I wrote to my girlfriend's son, Paul, who was stationed on the USS Cayuga (Navy) Paul ended up writing to my son, Kelly's third grade class and they adopted him as their "own special soldier". Paul came back after 9 months at sea and he took time to speak to the class and meet the kids. He ended up staying three hours that morning. It was a real special time for the children. Paul has gone back to the ship, hopefully not to sea duty for a long time. He has put in for transfer to flight school. Someone should talk to that boy.

I received a post card from Turkey from
RON BERGQUIST. Ron was in Turkey during Desert Shield/Storm. He was the Director of Intelligence for a task force which carried our air operations against Northern Iraq. Ran is a full Colonel and is now back in Germany where he is stationed. He told me that while in Turkey he worked with a Major named Rod Matte who graduated from RHS in 1972 or 1976. Ron was also quoted extensively in the September 17, 1990 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology (page 113) an article entitled "Analysis Indicates Iraqi Air Force Weak on Innovation, CAS Role". We are sorry to hear that Ron's mother passed away recently.

COL. BILL FITZPATRICK flew B-52s against Iraq from Diego Garcia where he was Vice Wing Commander. Bill was just transferred to Maine before the War to Loring AFB. Still not too sure of Laring's future. I hear from Bi1l's parents that Bill is back from the war with lots of stories to tell. Welcome back guys.

Welcome back to all the other people who were involved with the war effort and hopeful soon return for those of us that are still over in that area. Please let me know who you are.

DID YOU KNOW The Randolph High School theater department has received a Continuous Affiliation Award from the International Thespian Society for 25 years of continuous membership with ITS.

FROM READERS DIGEST - "My mother had tried every diet advertised with no success. Then I noticed that Mom wasn't eating, and on top of that she was exercising like crazy. Asking her what new program had inspired her, she tossed me an envelope to open. The letter inside read: You are cordially invited to your 20th class reunion.@

Kris sent me several newspaper articles about RHS and the area. Enjoy these articles very much and it enables me to keep up and pass this information along to you. So if you see anything anyone would be interested in please send it along to me. Thanks. One of the articles contained a story about Carl Meade's space flight with quotes from alumnus BRUCE CANNON. Bruce is the Randolph Middle School Principal. The article goes into showing that you can do whatever you want to do. One display in the middle school 's hallway shows an artist's depiction of a space-walking astronaut and is headlined "Our Ro-Hawk pride is alive!".

Also the Ro-Hawks closed out last year's football season with a 22-14 loss to the Cuero Gobblers in an area championship game. The RoHawks ended the regular season with an undefeated 10-0 record, the first district and bi-district championships since 1986 and an overall 11-1 record! (The Gobblers ????)

Well, we are down to me. This has been a big year for me. I became a grandmother. Grandson, Stevie is 17 months old now and of course is the brightest, cutest kid in the world. Also on June 22nd my daughter, Allison, got married to Travis Denson. It was a whirlwind romance and culminated in a marriage ceremony after 5 weeks. I was her "Matron" of Honor and my husband, Danny gave her away. My son, Kyle video taped the ceremony. (Kyle is not the best video tapist but did his best and kept focusing an one of the guests in the church that had on a very low-cut dress) . Oh to be 21 again! Allison, Travis and Stevie have settled down in a little home close not far from us. Allison is working in a day care center. Mark and Kyle still work with Chuck and live in Ft. Lauderdale (30 minutes away). My husband, Danny, just got a new job working at a Lexus dealership a few weeks ago and I am still at the same law firm as a paralegal. Our son, Kelly will be 9 years old in a few weeks. He is going to the YMCA summer camp this year and will be in fourth grade. Kelly is into basketball, karate and soccer. Danny, Kelly and I are planning a trip to Washington, DC this August. We will be in town an August 13th. If you are going to be in DC or near there (and I know who you are) please contact me before that time so we can get together. Danny and I have been talking about going to Washington DC for several years (it has been a dream of Danny's). My family was stationed there in 1963. So this is it. Danny and I will celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary September 15th. We are hoping to renew our vows in t he church (we were married in our home before a Notary Public) and have the MOTHER OF ALL PARTIES! You are invited. If you can't come in person - Call us.

I am hoping all is well with you. I know some of you are experiencing bad times unemployment, illness the war and recession has hurt a lot of us. Some of us were not doing too well before ail the troubles began. Sometimes we think we are the only ones affected. I don't want to sound like "Pollyanna" but you can't just feel sorry for yourself. Take stock in your life. Just being alive is enough. Having the love of your family and having faith in God can carry you through. If you don't have family, you have all of US. As long as I am alive, you have a friend. Thank you to all who wrote me and I hope to hear from more of you before December. Have a great year!

LOVE,GLORIA '65

MONTE MAHR and BETSY. Thank you all.......
THE REUNION WILL IN JUNE. I AM HOPING TO GET THE OFFICERS CLUB FOR EITHER JUNE 16 or the 23rd. The band I had scheduled will not be able to make it due to circumstances beyond my control. Any ideas? I am looking for all alternate place to meet on Friday night that will hold all of those that will be attending. I have not done my homework at this time and will have to write you an update in a few weeks. If anyone has any ideas for music, please contact me. I will be in contact with the Officer's Club soon to confirm the dates, etc. Just make your plans and wait for my update. I have all the addresses oil my computer now, so if you would like to have a list, please let me know. It is pretty long and bulky, therefore air extra expense to send out to 150 people.
DANNY and I are fine. It has been a hectic year to say the least. I just got back from a weekend in Lexington, Kentucky where my Mother had a triple by-pass operation. She is home now in Somerset, Kentucky recuperating nicely. My father is doing quite nicely taking care of Mom and learning how to be a housewife. Mom says he is doing a good job but she can't wait to get "back to normal". Mark and Kyle moved into their own apartment together this fall. They moved closer to me and I like that. They are still working with their father. Danny bought me all early Christmas present ... a 1975 MGB. I am having full tooling around in it. The only problem is that it only holds two people. When I go somewhere, I usually have more than one other person with me!! I have saved the best for last. My daughter, Allison is expecting a baby boy in February. Yes, you are right, I am going to be a grandmother. We are excited and I am going to be her coach! We are just finishing up the Lamaze classes. My son, Kelly, is having a hard time understanding why he will not be a brother to this baby instead of an uncle. By the time the baby is born, I will probably know what is happening with the plans for the Reunion, so hang in there and I will let you know then. HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
LOVE, GLORIA

ME AND MINE
There is nothing but GOOD NEWS from our part of the world. My husband, Danny is working at King Toyota as a finance director. We went to our timeshare in Vero Beach, Florida in May and Danny started growing a beard and has not shaved it off yet. We will celebrate our 11th Anniversary in September. Kelly is finishing up first grade and his teacher will be so happy to see it end! He has been taking Karate since last September- and has just passed the test for his blue belt. My daughter, Allison moved back in with us in May. She is 20 and works as a professional nanny and until just the other day worked part-time at Thom McAn Shoe stores at the mall. This past Thursday she received a promotion to Assistant Manager Trainee at the shoe store. Allison also has her own business called "Allison's T.L.C." Babysitting Plus. The baby-sitting will come second now that she has a Full time job. This will enable her to have a more secure financial position and also GET HER OUT OF MY HOME OFFICE/BEDROOM!! We are all looking forward to Mark and Kyle's graduation from high school June 7th. Chuck's Mom and my parents will be here for the event. Chuck is throwing them a BIG BAST the following Saturday. I am sure you all remember Chuck's Graduation Party.....So if you see some stray teenagers wandering around your neighborhood, just point them back to Florida. OK? Kyle also won a scholarship iii Art, but doesn't know if he will attend college right away or not. Mark is talking of taking some business courses so he CAN take over his Dad's business. In any event all the old ones are out of school at-id the young one is just beginning. Does it ever end? Danny and I have also booked a cruise this August. We will be leaving out of Port Canaveral on one of the Disney cruises which is geared to children and they have Disney characters all over. We are real excited about this, one, because Danny hasn't been on a real vacation since the last Reunion and there is no phone on the boat and two, we have never been on a cruise before. After the cruise I have reserved an extra week off for me to recuperate which I understand I will need. We were going to go to Washington D.C., but put that off for another time. And my best news yet is that I have finally purchased a home computer!! I have cut the time it takes me to prepare the newsletter in half and I don't have to sneak around the office to type it in between assignments! I just have to talk the office into letting me use the photocopier for free. I was hoping to have added some graphics in this newsletter, but unfortunately I have not been able to get the program to work. This is a lot harder than I thought and it is going to take me another six months to figure it all out......
LOVE TO ALL,

REUNION 1990

Our next reunion is coming soon. Eighteen months from now we will ALL be back at Randolph to PARTY! The format will be the same unless someone contacts me with a better way of doing it. This precedent was set at the first reunion and it has served us well. Friday night at the Gym to last minute register and bring the kids and show them around or just stroll around the grounds and remember. Usually this breaks up early and everyone goes their own way. On Saturday there is the party by the pool at the Officer's Club (bring the kids) and than Saturday night dinner and dancing for you and your spouse or date. Think a golf game or two can be arranged for Sunday. If anyone has any suggestions please submit them to me and when I create the planning committee we will discuss them. If you wish to be on the planning committee contact me also. We'll try to get out to San Antonio next summer to meet with those that wish to do so. I have tentatively booked a band that plays reunions in the Texas area with their base in Dallas. They play oldies and 60's music. The are also from the class of >65. I don't think there will be much of an increase in price. That all will be decided when we speak with the Officer's Club and see how much things will be there. We have kept the price under $25.00 per person and I don't see a problem keeping it below $30.00.. Thank you again for all of your support and friendship. I am real lucky to have such loyal and caring friends

For those of you going to Australia for a short jaunt, I believe Art can put you up for a good price. A group rate?

My husband DANNY and I drove over to Sanibel Island on the West Coast of Florida in September and visited with DOUG McGILL in Cape Coral. DOUG lives with his daughter MEGAN who is 9 years old and in the third grade and a very enchanting little girl. DOUG took us sailing on the river - a first for me and Danny and really a lot of fun. DOUG is enjoying retirement as best as he can. MEGAN and DOUG are now learning sign language because of MEGAN's hearing difficulty so that she will be able to communicate later on. They are hoping for an operation that will cure her, but in the meantime, it is fun communicating in sign because she considers it a secret language.

CAROL RANKIN ZULLA - has finished one year of college with two to go for her Masters. She works as a research assistant and lives with her two sons in Tampa. One of CAROL's sons is learning disabled and she also works with his therapy.

SANDY MINOR SMITH took the plunge and purchased her first house in Macon, Georgia. She is an office manager for an accounting firm.

CAROL has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. CAROL wishes us all a Happy Holiday Season and when you are thinking about donations to your favorite cause this year she hopes that you will consider contributing to Multiple Sclerosis research to help find a cause and a cure ... ...

HARRY is a Buffalo from Schertz also and they have been married for 22 years! LINDA works as a legal secretary. Their daughter MARCY is 12.

DONNA GRIECO MURRELL writes that all is well with her and she is still working as a medical receptionist/assistant manager and has been taking medical classes. Her dream is pre-med or physicians assistant. Her and her husband own UC Ironworks in Universal City. Between them they have eight children! The recession has also hurt their business but things have been picking up lately. DONNA says that from reading about of all us that she has come to the conclusion that with the extremely wide variety of professionals from our group that we have everything necessary for an incorporated city, from laborer, to the Senate. All we need is a derelict. Any volunteers?

GAIL STEED McILHANY and her husband MAC and son CHARLIE live in Bristol, Virginia. GAIL is self-employed as Office Manager and Archaeological Assistant. Her husband is an Archaeologist and is working on his PhD. They do Archaeological Consulting in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina. Their son CHARLIE is a senior at Virginia Tech and will graduate in May 1989 with a BA in History and then he plans to go to law school.

TONI BUCHERT SKINNER is living with her husband ROBERT in Ft. Worth. Between them they have five children. TONI's two children now live and work in New York City. TONI is still in sales for the Pilot Pen Corp. of America and travels quite a bit. ROBERT works for Hermes Abrasives. TONI enjoys bowling and needlepoint and now enjoys her three new stepchildren. (You did say you enjoyed that right?) TONI wanted me to tell everyone how old she was but I couldn't be that tacky. Sorry TONI.

MICHAEL WAGNER has been busy with his new projects - HOOPERMAN and COLUMBO. He says that he has to admit that he enjoyed the writer's strike and going back to work was depressing. Well that says a lot for showbusiness. MIKE'S wife TERRY and daughter RICHON are lovely as ever and proof is the picture I have.

I TOOK LOTS OF PICTURES ON MY TRIP, BUT THEY ARE NOT PHOTOCOPYING WELL AS I PLANNED. SO YOU WILL HAVE TO COME TO THE REUNION TO SEE WHAT EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE AND SEE MY SPECIAL PHOTO ALBUM. PLEASE SEND PHOTOS.

HAYNES BAUMGARDNER and his wife CHERYL (Buffalo too) are now living in Washington DC. Haynes has been a LtCol since 1985 and has over 19 years active duty and marriage. He is working in the Pentagon and is the military assistant for Eric M. Thorson, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Readiness Support. CHERYL is working for a bank and their daughter NATALIE entered her senior year this year. Son, TREY is a sophomore. He reports that Schertz is planning a reunion for that same year, so hopefully our reunion plans will coincide with theirs so those of you with a mixed marriage can make them both. I have friends in high places (other Buffalos) so I will see what we can do.

Lastly, I received a letter from BRUCE ZIMMERMAN who attended RHS from 1966 to 1969. He ran in to Coach Mickler and his wife, LOUISE in Miguel de Allende, Mexico this summer. BRUCE is a writer/novelist and is latest is entitled BLOOD UNDER THE BRIDGE (not a comedy). He also writes screenplays. Thank you for your letter, BRUCE and I hope you and MIKE met up for a beer or two.

SO, from BRUCE's letter we found out just what Coach has been up to. He leaves Randolph and goes to Mexico. I hope you and your wif e got in some relaxation between the golf and beach.

As I end this time, I want to add this. Basically there is something that is tying us together -- Whether it is my obsession with keeping us all together or the love we have for each other -- I don't questions it anymore. We have all been through a lot in the past 23 years -- Ups, downs and just getting by. Some of us did better than others, some of us lost our way, some of us discovered our true selves and some of us are hidden forever. Wherever you are at this moment, we all have the SAME past and the SAME future. We have lived through the devastation of divorce, cancer, deaths of family members and we have survived them all. We also have been faced with chronic illness, strikes, lay-offs, etc. We have also lived with happy memories. Kids graduating from college, births of our children as well as the new generation of grandchildren, beginning new lives and starting new jobs. We all fight our battles of physical pain, mental anguish and financial disability. We also enjoy our successes and triumphs and the successes and triumphs of others. I feel through this newsletter we can do that and f eel that we are not alone. Some of us seem to have everything, yet have nothing and some of us seem to have nothing, yet have it all. Some of us have to stand on the sidelines and cheer the others on, no matter how much our own hearts are breaking. We need to stick together and help fight the battles such as CAROL's new fight with Multiple Sclerosis, MEGAN's fight with deafness, BETTY's years' long struggle since her stroke, PAM's parents' death and illness, and my own alcoholism. I feel your love and I know you feel mine.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am doing GREAT! My job is going very well and I will be there one year in August. The law firm I work for recently merged with another firm and we moved our offices. We are still trying to find ourselves in the 22,000 square feet of office space. We really need "you are here" signs posted. The firm is now the largest Boca based multi-purpose law firm. You need it. We got it. My husband DANNY is still at Sherwood Pontiac in the finance department. My son KELLY finished kindergarten and is looking forward to summer camp and beginning first grade at a brand new school. Danny and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in September. (My second 10 years being married.) We are hoping to go on a trip to Washington DC, but nothing is firmed up yet. I will let all of you in that area know, you can be sure of that. MARY and KYLE (18) will start their senior year in the fall and ALLISON (19) is now working as a nanny for a family in Boca Raton. Hope all of you enjoy a great summer and fall and don't forget to write.

SEASON'S GREETINGS
WISHING YOU PEACE AND HARMONY,
IN THIS SEASON OF LOVE
THE GALLAGHERS

Another year is coming to a close. This was a big year for me. I hope your year was a memorable one. For the Class of 65 most of us turned 40! NO PROBLEM.... Read on and find out who did what this year ....

In July, I received a telephone call from BILL KEM. He is still with the brokerage firm he's been with for several years. He also got me back in touch with ART NIGRO. Bill's family is all very fine. The family is active in gymnastics, dance and music. Thank you for your call and I enjoyed the words of encouragement.

ART NIGRO and his family have been in Bangkok, Thailand for the past 2k years where he was General Manager of the Royal Orchid Sheraton. Now he is the Director of Standards for Sheraton at the World Headquarters at Boston. He is still married to Sheila and they are to be congratulated on 17 years! They have a boy 16 and a girl 13. His son plays football and Art seemed very proud to say that. They have purchased a home and have settled in. Welcome back.

Also welcome back to TERESA DEARZA CUSHING. They have returned from Japan and have landed in Las Vegas and she says that she hopes to never leave. Son Kevin is in his lst year of college in Hawaii, but really would rather just surf..... Teresa and I were in the same hospital 18 years ago having our first babies. A lot of miles have been logged since then. She says her husband Emery is talking retirement in the spring.

DICKIE BUCHERT O'BANION writes that all is well with her and her family. TONI married Bob Skinner - Remember that real nice guy that she brought to the Reunion? Yeah, that one. Good choice, Toni. CONGRATULATIONS. Thanks again for your letter, Dickie.

KAREN KNOX CAMPBELL has moved to Blytheville AFB, Arkansas. Hope you are OK - Please write.

Did you get your invitation to CAROL HINES HOFFMAN'S 40th Birthday? I hear it was a big smash. I understand that her husband really surprised her. Great idea.

Did everyone catch TERRY SMILJANICH on TV during the Iran Contra hearings? Well, I did and if you want a copy of my videotape, let me know. It is really phenomenal that someone from our group is hand picked to be on such a committee. Congratulations. I really wanted to just scream when the person who introduced you pronounced your name incorrectly. Write and let me know all the details.

PAM McCALL SMITH has decided to stick around Dallas for a while longer. She has been caring for her father and since he needs her further she has put down some roots. She is tak few classes in computer programming and business. Both her daughters have settled in and are getting along real fine in school.

I also got a letter from CAROL RANKIN ZULLA. She owns k interest in a Tanning Center in Tampa, Florida. She also has an exercise studio where she teaches 2 to 3 times a week. He studio also has Developmental Dance Therapy for handicapped children. Carol has gone back to school to try for a degree in the exercise physiology field. She has her two sons with her and is happy to have moved to Tampa.

MIKE WAGNER wrote in July and tells us that he spent some time in North Carolina shooting a pilot script (oh those exotic locations) and as of his letter it will be a mid-season replacement, but he did not tell me what it was. He signed a contract with Universal Studios (not ABC) for one year. He met Don Johnson (big deal). He also sent some of his memories of RHS.... I know he wouldn't mind me sharing them with you. See if these ring a bell.....

Remember when we dug up the nuclear mummy and put it in Mr. Hall's car? The look on his face was priceless. Remember when McDougall and Bianchi were caught selling military secrets to the Russians? Remember when Moslem extremists parachuted into the gym and forced the pep squad to date them? What a scream. Remember when Bill Bradford tried to change our school symbol from a RoHawk to a mohair aardvark with a glandular condition? Remember when Texas seceded from the Union and we were all held hostage in the Alamo and forced to eat refried beans while singing the UT fight song?

I don't think we were going to the same school. He had a few more memories, but because I have taste and aforethought I decided that I would only sell them to the highest bidder or just give them away to the first person that called me or sent a self-addressed stamped envelope.

MIKE does report that his wife, Terry and daughter Richon are well. Sounds like one family that never has a dull moment.

DONATIONS WERE SENT BY BILL KEM, DICKIE, TERESA,MIKE WAGNER, AND-ART. MY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU....

My family is well, Kelly is having a real good year in Kindergarten and is a real aggressive soccer player. Danny is happy with his job in a finance department at the Pontiac dealership in Delray. I quit my job that I had for 6k years and am now working for another law firm in Boca Raton. More money, less stress. Pinch me, I might be dreaming. Allison is now out on her own, but lives real close by and is an assistant manager in the shoe department of a department store here in Delray Beach. Mark and Kyle are Juniors this year and so far have had a good year. Mark is a budding inventor and is looking for investors. (Anyone interested). Well, I turned my back for one minute and Kelly decided to sign the first Page of this letter. Hope all of you enjoy a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. Please write and let me know what you are doing and I will be in your mailbox again in JUNE 1988.

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW
Remember when all we had to worry about was getting to our next class before the bell rang? Grade point averages? Saturday night dates? Winning the Friday night football game? Getting caught smoking in the bathroom? Remember the fun we had at the pep rallies? I remember marching on numb feet at the half time in the winter! I remember Bill loosing his contact lens on the field and when John Hartig broke his leg in a game. Who was it that kept setting off the fire alarms? I remember one especially fun time on a double date with Parl and Phil and Joyce. How about the parties we had at the stables? Remember the fun we had in Mr. Porter and Coach Nelson's classes? Did we learn anything? Mr. Posey's drama classes and plays were top notch. Mr. Scroggins tried so hard to teach us different ways of speaking English. In Civics class we learned to be political and to voice our opinions. Remember the summers around the pool? Getting a tan was one of the most important things besides who was dating who.
Remember.....
Remember twenty years ago? Sometimes some of us can't even remember last week! We have been hurrying to get where we are now and sometimes we have forgotten to take the time to remember and take a breath and cherish the moments. What has happened since those days? I'm sure you have discussed that at the Reunions with each other. But have you really talked, I mean really told the person you were talking to how much they mean to you. Have you looked at your wife, children, friends and parents and really told them that you love them? I think now that I am 40 and realizing that I am not immortal, it has occurred to me that I cannot go on without letting all of you know just how much I love each and every one of you. You have been a very big part of my life. I have taken my life for granted as well as my friends and relatives. I just take it for granted that you will all be around and one of these days I will take the time to tell you just how much I have enjoyed doing this and being a part of a very special relationship with some of the most special people around. I think that we all have to take stock of our lives and look around us and ask ourselves, who am I, where am I going and what do I have to offer? Have I done the thing I set out to do? Can I change the way I live? Am I really happy and satisfied? I know that some of us are very successful and some of us are still struggling with the fact that well, this just might be it! Do we really want to settle? We were the future we are in the future and we can't go back to those carefree days of high school, but we can make today count. Be good to yourself .... and look how far we've come!!!!!
THE YEARS ROLL BY...
I have been writing this newsletter for 13 years. We have learned lots of things about some of us. What happened? We went to college, married, had kids, graduated from college, began a career, got divorced, experienced a death, lost a best friend, got remarried, began a new career, gained weight, lost weight, gained more weight, lost hair, lived your dream or wondering what on earth your dream is. We have been sad and extremely happy, confused and self assured, rich, poor, "moderately well off". Some of us are beginning new lives and really taking seriously the saying "Life begins at 40"! The world goes on and so does life. What is in store now? Well, a lot of our children are in high school now and/or have already graduated. What can we tell them that will help them live their lives to the fullest? Your right, they won't listen...... but if we keep on trying to live the best way we can and do the best that we can and give ourselves and listen to our children, they will survive. It is really hard to let go and realize that our children are now adults and on the brink of their future. It's funny, but the transitions in life are so subtle and we think we can never face the fact that our daughters and sons will really grow up (because we really haven't grown up ourselves) but they do. Just remember, it really wasn't all that long ago that we were looking for that first job and that first apartment or trying to get in to that college or that university. In another twenty years we our grandchildren will be teenagers, can you take that???!!!! I am looking forward to that. of course I will still be writing this newsletter and probably will not look a day over 40!
THIS AND THAT
I am getting this newsletter out late (as usual). it gets later and later. I try to get this out in but lately it has been July and January, but I had Houston and San Antonio with a girlfriend, of mine and my son, Kelly. Strangely enough, I have known for 7 years and when we first met I found out that from Devine and that she was born in San Antonio. People actually got out of Devine? So, Carla had business in Houston and after two days there we rented a car and drove to San Antonio. It was kind of an adventure for both of us being alone and on our own. we had some funny things happen to us on the way and our plane reservations were screwed up and we had to stay an extra day, but we had so much fun. Carla visited her relatives in Devine after dropping me off with my friend, Ginger, her daughter and their 12 Labrador retrievers. Ginger lives in the same neighborhood as Mike Wysong so I got to visit with him and I telephoned several people at Randolph and saw some of Chuck's relatives (had an enjoyable lunch with Mrs. Pechuls and visited his sister MARY JANE and her family who are all well) as well as some of my old Schertz buddies. I also talked and saw some of you in Houston. I want to thank all of you who took the time to tell me what was going on with you and visit with you. I want to extend an invitation to any of you that find yourself in the Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach area. We have room, come see us!
In Houston I saw JANET FRANCES. She is the Director of Community Centers in the largest precinct in Harris County. Son JOHN is in the Air Force and doing great! He is a Parachute Technician and soon will be attending college courses at night. Son JIMMY is at home and will be a junior in high school in the fall, if Janet doesn't kill him first. JANET and I reminisced a lot and she recalled the times when we went out to Lake Placid with CHUCK PFCHULS and DOUG McGTLL. We talked about being pregnant at the same time when we lived in San Antonio and the time we spent together with our husbands. JANET, SUSAN and I even attended Lee High School in Springfield, Va in 1963 together. SUSAN was out of town with her husband so I did not get to see her, but I understand that she is well. Both Janet's parents are living in San Antonio and doing just fine.
I also saw CYNTHIA VAN VORHIS ALLSHOUSE and we went shopping for a pair of cowboy boots for my son, Kelly and had a really enjoyable lunch. I'm afraid that she missed an appointment with her architect because we were having such a good time. CINDY is busy with various charity work and associations and helping BUCKY. He is real involved with the Alumni Association at RICE and has a booming law practice and I understand that he is quite prominent in the Houston area. His specialty is family law. I did speak to him at work and we had a great talk. They are still planning their new home and their builder is JOHN HARTIG. Thanks again for such enjoyable conversation and the wheels!
JOHN HARTIG is a General Contractor in Houston. JOHN tells me that people are not building like they use to but he has a good business. The economy for the blue coller guy is down because of the oil problem in Texas. JOHN and his wife, JANICE have a daughter LISA who is 21. I am sure LISA is beautiful and the way JOHN said his daughter's name I am sure that she has very loving parents.
I think every year June and December, a chance to visit and her daughter my friend, Carla, her Mom and Dad are Do you believe it?
I talked to PAM PRATT VILPS who was celebrating her 15th anniversary. CONGRATULATIONS. Pam's family is doing just fine. She has an interesting hobby turned business - jewelry designing and making. Now she is into buying and selling. Need a little bauble, call PAM she'll find it.
When I got to San Antonio I called the Allshousels - Cindy and Bucky informed me that CAROL will be staying with her parents for a while with her kids. I did get to talk to her, but she was having some dental problems and we never did get together. TOM is back in Hawaii poor thing! Administering hospitals is his game. They'll only be there one more year, so make your vacation plans now!!!
I talked to JACKIE DARLING ANDERSON. I was told that JEFF is now a Lt. Col. and is up for Col. GOOD LUCK. JEFF may just be the shortest, but cutest, General in the Air Force if he decides to hang in there. He already has 20 years in this year. He is stationed at Kelly A.F.B. and is in Electronic Security Command. They will probably be in San Antonio one more year. They still have a home in Colorado and that is where they would like to end up. Jeff's son SHAUN is 16 now and a Lt. in ROTC. A chip off the old block. Son, REAGAN, is 13 and in the National Honor Society. JACKIE is the Recruiting Coordinator at a large international law office in San Antonio. She has been there for 2 years.
Jackie told me that MICHAPLA ROCKY KEENAN and her husband, TIM are in Evergreen, Colorado - Tim is a medical illustrator and they have two daughters. MICHAPLA is still flying for American and has an international route.
I also had a very enjoyable conversation with MR. PORTER. We talked a lot about RHS and he told me how bad they thought we were until the 170's. Then they would think back on the old days and comment how good their student's used to be. Mr. Porter was at RHS for 18 years! He retired 6 years ago but is now looking into returning to teaching next fall. He told me some really hysterical stories. You should write some of them down, because I wasn't writing fast enough to get them all. He did have a little trouble when he referred to the band members as "Little Bandsters" once. "But Mr. Hall, I was misunderstood". Sorry we couldn't have gotten together.
I also spent some time with MIKE WYSONG. What can I say about a friend like him? MIKE has been a tremendous help to me and this project. MIKE and his son, MICHAEL, took the time to take me and my son, KELLY to dinner, and my girlfriend and our kids to the Bluebonnet Palace in Selma. MIKE has his own nut and bolt business and he still golfs a lot and he has been refurbishing this old sports car that takes up a good portion of his back porch and garage. I still think it is a waste of time...... but then again, if you do get it all back together, I want to be the first passenger.
MIKE sees and speaks to BILL BORELLTS quite often as I am now beginning to do. BILL has called several times during his travels with his insurance business with news of the people he has visited. He is doing quite well and his family is fine. His parents are still in San Antonio and sister, SHERRI lives in Nevada. SHERRI is the President of the State of Nevada Junior League.
I haven't heard from MIKE WAGNER in a few months but BILL tells me that he has just siqned a new contract with ABC. He has been busy developing a lot of new projects. I understand that his family is well and still beautiful!
I visited with COL. SMITH (Burleigh Smith's father) when I went to Universal City. He showed me some pictures of Burleigh and Barney at sister Lynn's wedding. Col. Smith's wife was off in another land traveling with a group overseas. All is well with them.
I received a letter from BILL KPM and his family. They are still involved in gymnastics and entertainment. Wife, SUZANNE, has been really busy with her own gymnastic business and their children are getting into local show business. Daughter CARA will be in the third grade this year and son KEVIN will be a 7th grader. BILL is involved in children's gymnastics and his team was fourth in the State of Oklahoma last year for Class III compulsories. He works as a stockbroker and focuses in the area of financial counseling.
In January I received a letter from TERRY SMILJANICH. He wanted to let me know that he was taking a leave of absence from his law firm to spend six months in Washington, D.C. to serve as counsel to the U.S. Senate Select Committee investigating the Tran-Contra affair!!!. Senator Sam Nunn nominated him and he was called by the head counsel and the rest is history. I haven't seen him on TV yet though. Terry what's happening and what is Fawn Hall really like? His wife DOROTHY is up there with him but they had to leave their dogs home in St. Petersburg. Please contact me when you get back to Florida or when you have a minute to let us in on the inside story.
In December I received a letter from RON BERGQUTST from Germany. He expects to stay around there until 1989. They bought a house in a small farming village. He is stationed at Ramstein. His has run into JIMMY WATKINS since he is also stationed there as a Lt. Col. Ron's wife teaches math at the high school and they really love being there. Ron sent me a business card from a restaurant named "RESTAURANT JUGOSLAVIJA" The proprietors were named Fam. Smiljanic. Needless to say I forwarded it on to Terry who really got a kick out of it. Thank you for the picture.!!
Oh, yes, JIMMY FIDLER was down here for a boat show and came up and we went to lunch together sometime in February I think. we had an enjoyable time and caught up on old times. Thanks for lunch Jimmy and next time it's on me.
Congratulations to JON AND TERRI GOODFLEISCH on the birth of MARGFAUX HELLA December 12, 1986. Their other child is daughter, MARLENE and is about 2 years old.
EARL DODGION writes that his family is fine. wife, MYRNA is in school full time at Adams State. Son, TROY will be in second grade and son, KEVIN will be a Junior this year. Son, BLAINE is five. EARL says that his dental practice is going great guns but it does interfere with his basketball league and skiing. He has kept in touch mostly with GARY BIRD who we all know and love and is that famous New Braunfels family practitioner!
SUE LIVINGSTON JOHNSON wrote at Christmas and told me that she is teaching third grade and working on her master's degree in Elementary Ed. Her husband STEVE is still a good oll Coors. Daughter AMY will be in eighth grade this year and is a horseback rider. Thank you for the lovely family picture, including son, MICHAEL.
PAT MANGANELLO FALFS is a real estate broker in Burke, Virginia near D.C. She is a top producer at her company and is contemplating a possible move as a partner in another firm. She even sold a house to JOANNA DYAS and her husband. Her husband DAVE just retired from the Air Force after 20 years. He has taken a new job as a systems analyst in Arlington. Daughter, DFP DPP had her first year at college and is majoring in business. Son, ERIC is over 6 feet now and will be a Junior in high school this year. He is attending Lee High School in Arlington. (Hey I know where that is) .... Thank you for the picture.
NANCY OLSEN GIAMBALVO also sent pictures of her kids MARISA who is 10 and ROSS who is 7. They are also living in Virginia now where husband, JERRY got transferred. They are trying to get used to the fast paced living there. She has now starting substituting teaching and has enjoyed that. They will be remodeling their new home and settling in to the swing of things.
In April I got a nice long letter from PAM MURRAH STURGIS and her husband GRAHAM. They are back in the states, and were in Richardson, Texas and I understand that they will probably be in Maryland by now. They were in Saudia Arabia for 61 years. Before they left they toured Europe in their new car. Graham's company wanted him to go to Los Angeles and they did not want to go there, so he changed jobs. He is now with Westinghouse. Their children, BRFNDON, 8 and DREW, 5 have never been to school in the states and excited about that. Everyone is adjusting to the faster pace of the states and PAM is just glad that she can now go places in a car and not have to bicycle everywhere (women can't drive in Saudi Arabia). Glad to have you guys back here. Let me know when you are settled in your new home.
The most recent person I have heard from is KRIS STRAND MEYER. She has taken a big step and has gotten a divorce from her husband and lost some weight. She is living in Sacramento now with her kids and is planning on a visit to her parents' home in San Antonio around July 8th for a few weeks. Her plans are still undecided but she plans to stay in California until her daughter graduates next year, but she would really like to come to San Antonio to live eventually. Like you said KRIS, you really never know what is going on with a person until you speak to them. We are all pulling for you KRIS, hang in there.
Well, that is about it. I received a card from DONNA GRECO MURRILL and family and also a note from the HARRY JOHNSON family, but I have no news about them. Three newsletters were returned. Dewey Brown, Bill Bradford and Ginny Garrett. Do you know where they are? I would really like to have Dennis Bianchils address.

DANNY and I are always happy to hear from you and welcome anyone to come a visit. DANNY has recently gotten a promotion to the finance department at Sherwood Pontiac. My daughter, ALLISON has graduated from high school and has a job and enjoyed a quick trip to Dallas. She has a boyfriend she is madly in love with and just enjoys life. My sons, MARK and KYLE are the best looking guys I know (their age) and will be Juniors next year. They both have girls and are doing nicely in school and both have jobs in their father's furniture refinishing business. My baby, KELLY, will be starting Kindergarten next year! I have been promoted to office manager in the law firm that I have been with for the past 61 years. Should not be any challenge because I have had that responsibility for the last few years, just not the recognition. As my husband says, "IT'S NOT THE, MONEY, IT'S THE RECOGNITION".
LOVE TO YOU ALL AND HAVE AN ENJOYABLE SUMMER AND FALL AND I WILL BE BACK TO YOU SOMETIME?? IN DECEMBER. SURE WOULD LIKE TO VISIT WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH OR PICK UP THE TELEPHONE AND CALL.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF YOU!

I HOPE THIS PAST year has been kind to you. My family and I wish you the very best in 1987. We are doing just fine. I am going on my 7th year at the law firm I work for. Danny has been selling Pontiacs since summer and doing well. Kelly is in the 4-year-old class in his nursery school. My older kids are fine also -- Allison is looking forward to graduating from high school in the spring and also works as a cashier at a grocery store and baby-sits. Mark and Kyle are in 10th grade in the same high school and both have jobs after school and on weekends.

I'm just sitting here on December 22nd and thinking that I ought to get this done... I've waited so long -- you are not receiving this until after Christmas -- I do hope your holidays are great.

My parents are here from Kentucky and my older kids will be up for Christmas day for food and presents. As usual, I am not prepared. I am very unorganized lately, and pretty forgetful ... think it has to do with age? The cat is in my lap. I'm looking at the new paint on my living room walls (my Christmas present). The only problem is that we can't figure out what color it is because it sure isn't what I thought I got. We have done some repairs on our old house (new roof and trim work). After 5 years we can put up the buckets that caught the leaks from our ceiling. Just kidding, no not really, but Danny didn't want me to put that in.

Well, on with the newsletter. Hopefully, I can get it printed tomorrow and address the labels tonight (if I can find them) and mail it out the day after Christmas. I have to spend Christmas Eve at the Mall. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

DONATIONS

Thank you for donations that helped get this newsletter to you: Harry and Pemy Anion (twice!), Jon and Terri Goodfleish, Ken and Kris Strand Meyer, Dick and Linda Tjcker Prater, Mrs. Monte Hartig, Bucky and Cynthia Allshouse, Mike and Terry Wagner, Joanna Dyas and her husband Butch Smith, and Mike Fausett and his wife. THANK YOU

THE FIRST THING I want to say is that TOM McDOUGALL is with CAROL and not Linda in Hawaii like I stated in the last newsletter -- Oops - Sorry guys...

I heard from Bucky and Cynthia Allshouse. Bucky is a partner in the law firm of Shaffer, Bennett & Allshouse in Houston. They are in the process of building a new home (if it isn't finished yet). Their builder is none other than JOHN HARTIG.

TERRY ENGLISH has resigned from Randolph and is now head Coach of the Navarro Panthers. Congratulations and good luck.

CONGRANUTIONS to HARRY AND PENNY AMON on the birth of their daughter, BAILEY JANE, born June 25, 1986 -- She weighed in at 8lbs, 5oz. I suppose she is getting around really good by now. I have a really lovely picture. Thank you for sending, I will put it in the Alumni scrapbook for the next reunion.

PAM McCALL SMITH is now in Dallas, She is living with her father who is recovering from a stroke. Her mother passed away last year after a long illness. She and her two daughters, Lauren, 4 and Jessie, 8, are doing fine. Pan quit her job in Colorado as an office manager for an oil company to stay full time with her Dad. Pam suggested that on the next address list that I divide the list by states. I will try that out next time. Be sure to keep me up to date with your addresses.

BILL BORELLIS is doing quite well in the insurance game. We have had several talks and he has been traveling around and has run into and visited a few of you. Thank you Bill for your support. Hope you and your wife enjoy your vacation with sister Sherry.

JUDY O'NEILL WOODRUFF is an airline hostess working for a private airline in Colorado. Judy, our thoughts are with you.

BETSY NORMAN KEHOE is doing fine -- husband JOHN has been ill -- but I understand that he is recovering. Their two children, Shannon and John, Jr. are growing like weeds and they just moved into a new house.

MIKE WAGNER is still writing and writing -- I think I am going to publish a collection of Mike's letters to me -- They are so long, informative and very funny. Mike has kept me up to date on the step by step progress of his daughter, RISHON. They have gone on several trips and seem to be doing very well. Love you Mike.

WHIZZY BROOME and his family are still in Germany. they will be stateside in June and will be going to Fort Monmouth, NJ and then to Fort Gordon, Augusta, GA. His wife, ALEXA is a nurse and is working part time at the 97th General Hospital, Frankfort. His daughter, LEAH is a junior at Frankfurt High (memories) and other daughter MARCI is in 4th grade at Rhein-Main Elementary school. Whizzy is still a Chaplain with the 94th Engineer Battalion in Darmstadt. He spends most of his time in family and marriage counseling and the rest training Battalion commanders -- What a diversified career. We will be waiting to hear from you when you get settled.

So far I received cards from, but no news from the Harry Johnson family, Col and Mrs. BC Smith ("Brown"), Burleigh's am and dad, Linda Tucker Prater and the Bill Beightols. Thank you.

I also received a lovely picture of TERESA DEARZA CUSHING AND HER family, EMERY, KEVIN and JASON and assorted dogs. They are all fine --- Teresa has almost finished her masters in Public Administration. She is working as a Personnel Staffing Specialist. they have been taking advantage of their location and traveling. Teresa even went TDY to Randolph for training. Kevin is 17 and a senior at Yokota High School - He has a band and I understand his group is quite good. Jason is 13 and in the 8th grade. He has received several trophies in biking. Emery is still flying the Learjet and has just passed the Airline Transport Pilot examination and is studying for the FAA Flight Engineer Exam in preparation for his retirement in 1989. They will be returning to the States this coming year.

MIKE FAUSETT writes to say that his family just returned from vacation in the Caribbean, Epcot and Disney World -- Daughters, Shannon 13, and Julie, 11, really loved Epcot. I can't believe it since it seems like he just moved to California, but they have been 8 years in the same home and he is still building homes in the San Diego area. Good to hear from you again Mike. Please try to send me JAY ELDRIDGE and MARK RASTIAN's addresses. thanks...

JOANNA DYAS SMITH writes to let us know that husband BUICH is at the Pentagon -- Their girls, Jody and Melissa (9 and 10) are busy with school, soccer, etc. She is working at a special school for the Emotionally disturbed (7th and 8th grades). She starts graduate school in January. She mentions in closing that she can't believe that the class of '65 turns 40 this year! Consolation is -- THE CLASS OF '64 and '63 are already 40..... ha ha

JANET RIMMER MUSKE and her husband, Bill are still in Houston where her husband is a minister at Willow Park Baptist Church. Jan has "retired" from teaching school and took a travel course and landed a job in a travel agency and loves it!! Son Richard (8) is in the 2nd grade and daughter Susan (4k) is in pre-kindergarten. Her and her husband have recently started scuba diving and are now certified scuba divers. They even went to Cozumel, Mexico for their Open Water Certification (bet that was beautiful)

Well I know you all have lots of news to write me so I can let everyone know what you are doing, so please just pick up a pen and drop me a few lines -- if not about yourself then about someone else we all know. I will be looking forward to it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

LOVE ......

ESPECIALLY FROM GLORIA

I got a call from BILL BORELLIS at work the other day. The receptionist said 'It's Bill Borellis". I thought to myself, "what file is that?". He just called "coast to coast" to see how I was. Is that to die from or what???!!! I'm sorry I did not get a letter out in December -- no excuse really, just depressed. A lot happened last year to me personally and physically and some of it was more than I could handle. But now everything is fine and I know that my problems are trivial compared to YOUR problems, ha ha ... But they did shake me up. Also I had major surgery in January. Now that I have nothing left to donate to science but my skin I think I will be OK! Thanks for worrying about me - sometimes I think I'm all alone here and no one reads these things, then I get all your nice letters and cards and I feel like such a fool. So MAKE MY DAY - MAKE ME FEEL FOOLISH WRITE ME. Where are you, what are you doing -- everyone wants to know.

DONATIONS

Thank you for the donations since August from Harry & Penny Amon, Jon and Terri Goodfleisch, Kris Strand Meyer, Linda Tucker Prater, Phil Moseley and Monte Hartig. REMEMBER IF YOU CAN'T SEND MONEY, SEND NEWS.

PHIL MOSELEY and his wife NORAH moved to a new house in Alexandria, Va. They have a 7 year old daughter (Kendall) and a 2 year old son (Clay). Phil says he envies all of us who have older children because he is still stuck with diapers, babysitters, etc. Well, Phil wait til Kendall goes on her first date, and Clay's asking you for the keys to your car, you will wonder where the time went. Phil is still heading up Bill ARcher's (Republican/Texas) staff and staying involved in tax law and Norah is also on the committee staff.

JANET FRANCIS JEWETT has a flower shop now. She sold all the real estate and now she is landscaping it. Good going Janet.
