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?

Happy Birthday Bill, 80yo didn't simply happen, so many of our Classmates have come and gone and we are still here to enjoy life. I've been impressed every time I saw a post about you and your lovely wife. I trust that she is alive and well. Count your Blessings, you aren't here by accident, God has Blessed You. Barry

It is nice to see Birthday Reminders showing up. Many class members have passed and fewer remain that is why I like to call those remaining, ‘Blessed’. Being ‘80’ is Special, we have Great Memories to celebrate, Stranahan being one. My health is good, Sherry and I are camping, even now at Port St Joe presently. Merry Christmas to You and Yours and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Barry
