What have you been up to since you graduated?

2yrs BCC, 3yrs Illinois College of Optometry, 2yrs Army Medical Service Corp (Captain), Moved to Ft.Laud and work with my father Optometrist for 10yrs. Made a Big move to the Fl Panhandle 34 years ago and started my Optometric practice in Blountstown. Blountstown is a small town in the rural Panhandle of Florida. I Love it up here. I am Blessed, this last March 2013 I beat prostate cancer, I'm healthy, happy, and love life. One of my goals in life, is that my Classmates might come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord of their lives.

Have a favorite school story? Funny memory? This can be used for anything you'd like to share.

Riding with Bill Shirey in his Mom's car to a football game at Lockhart Stadium, we wanted to avoid paying to park and thought we knew a back way to the stadium. So we are riding down a back road with the lights turned off to avoid detection, we missed seeing the cable stretched across the road until the cable snagged the hood ornament and ripped it from the hood. How do you explain that to Mom?

A little catch-up since no more reunions. "Happy Birthday and Many More", don't we love our Birthdays, especially since so many Classmate have passed on. I and my wife Sherry are well, enjoying life. We bough a used Class A motorhome and may travel after Sherry's Mom goes home to Jesus. We also enjoy our 12 G Kids and help out when needed. Take care and hopefully our paths will cross in the future. Barry

Whose VW Bug rolled over on the way to a Lockhart Stadium foot ball game? You are looking pretty good for an old man. Barry

Hi Jerry, It is nice to be reminded about your Birthdays and then get good memories of our time together at Stranahan and the Reunions. I like you lived across the street from Stranahan and feel like Stranahan and I grew up together. I attended Stranahan for 8 years. Enough of that, Let Me Wish YOU a Very Happy Birthday and Good Health.
78 doesn't feel that old afterall. Barry
