Comments: There are a lot more people on here than the last time i looked. I live in Palm Harbor but i get up to New Port Richey frequently. The old school looks old. I was in the Navy for 10 years. I was married twice, i have 4 great kids. I am a dietician working with the elderly. I still play a lot of sports, (golf, softball, bowling) but not as well as i would like. If anyone has any information on a reunion, i would appriciate if you could pass it along. Thanks

Comments: Well folks, were all getting older (this from a woman with a 3 yr old daughter, 7 yr old son and two 16 yr olds , one of whom is a foster child). I teach middle school and am working on my Masters in Ed Leadership, who would'a thought!

I was an emancipated teen living in "sin" at 17 yet still attending school and graduated in Jan (Wanda Dutleson (sp) was great to me, hear shes riding Harley's in NC, gotta I love a kindred spirit!) God, I hated 45-15! I have lived overseas for almost 5 years and if I passed tomorrow those left behind could say I led a full life...

There are however some loose ends I would like to follow up on...I would love to track down Shelly Eller (and her brother Mike), Joni Chadwick (saw her in Tampa 10 years back and it didn't seem to be a good situation) and any others from the "wild child" population.

The human spirit is an amazing thing I watch it every day and marvel. I am in touch with Cindy Schrier, Kelly Middleton and Kathy McCue, we even went to the 1977 reunion but no one contacted us on the 1978 one!

In Pink Floyds word...Is anybody out there, is anybody listening? Have to love our era! We stood out and made a difference to our kind, it was amazing! This coming from someone who was so disconnected from school but sees it differently today, through my sons eyes!

Love YA!

Kidding aside, someone tell Mr. Miller who your Val/Sal recipients were.

I have one 19 year old daughter who attends Wake Forest University in NC. She is currently studying at Beijing Univ. on an exchange program. I was looking at the GHS web site because I am doing research for a class I am taking to finish my master's degree. I am writing a youth story and using GHS as a back drop. It should be funny. Especially when I think about all of those crazy times. Well, Have a nice holiday!!!
