His daughter, Ann Secules Urch has given her email address for any messages to the family.  They have greatly appreciated the support.  sajurch@hotmail.com

If you would like to send something to Mrs. Secules and the family, you can send it to:

I always felt that Coach Secules really cared about his students and atheletes.  He wanted them to succeed on and off the playing field/track.  He was an inspiration to many of us.  He will be missed by many whose lives he touched.

Coach Secules (Sekes) was the greatest Coach for our Defense '69-'72......he was a buffer between the guys and Big Bad Bob Hardage and Charlie Martin. I am greatly saddened by his passing. I will personally always remember him, not only as my Coach, but my friend. Me and Big Bob did not always see eye to eye......Sekes was always there to pick me up and get me back to doing my job as a Linebacker. I can't think of anyone......in the whole School, who didn't love Coach Secules.......I can still see him running up and down the sidelines during our games.....yelling at us (he had a unique voice) and encouraging us to get down to business. He helped make the game fun. He is a Legend in Annandale High School Football!! that will never be forgotten.......Hackett

I ran across this picture of several of our classmates. It was taken in '73 after a NVCC basketball tournament. We are a motley looking crew.

Cathy Hall (Borland)

Great picture!  I think recognize several classmates:  Dave Reamy, Paul Kertes, Bill Zittle  and Craig Blackstone on the back row?  Anyone else want fill in the blanks or claim they are in this picture.  

Hopefully we will see what they look like 50 years later!  

We have a date for 50th reunion, the weekend of October 14th.  Dare we schedule a rematch basketball tournament for y'all as well? 

Barbara Mizell

Cathy, I wish my memory was as good as yours. I will say we had a bunch of good looking guys in our classs.  I would love to watch a short version basketball match just as long as I didn't have to pretend to be a cheerleader. See you all at the reunion.  What ever happened to Pixie Kingham ((spelling) does anyone know? Barbara Mizell

Thanks for the memory boost.  How funny that Randy joined the website yesterday.  
 

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the 50th October 14th & 15th.
