Ron Doll

Far, far out, Hunter dude! So glad you sold a couple more Indo boards to get your butt to Singer!

That's right, Donna, wouldn't be a reunion without Hunter!

As you see in my new pic, I have got so fired up that I put on my Hornet uniform & cut my hair for this special event!

I just looked over our classmaties in our yearbook & noticed some of the regulars to our reunions aren't on Donna's list! ....... Just to name a few, where oh where are these mates: Carter, Delosh, Saunders, Bock, Cronin, Hood, Jackson, Keilty, Metcalf, Mueller, Mulvihill, Ruskay, Teater, Webb??? Times a running out with 24 days and counting! That's 3 weeks & 3 days. Heck, if Wilson can make it, everyone should!

News flash:

Just discovered our class, Thee Class of 1969, is the 2nd to last class to graduate from Ole RBHS!

I did not know that, where have I been?

My good Lake Park neighborhood friend back in the day, Andy Flanner class of 66, informed me this week that his sis, Carole, was in RBHS's last class of 1970. Someone came up with the name Suncoast after her class left.

FYI: Suncoast Community High School is a public magnet high school in Riviera Beach, Florida. The school's campus was built in 1955 as Riviera Beach High School. It was desegregated in the 1960s and renamed in 1970. It became a magnet school in 1989 and has selective admissions. Wikipedia

23 days remain ladies & gentlemen, so if ya gonna join da fun at RBHS's second to last 50th class reunion, ya better dig out yer credit card & call señor Ellrich with that $69 pp!

Valerie Dettman

Has it really been 50 years?!? Where did they all go??

Oh my goodness Miss Interact Sweetheart, onehundred twentysix 69er Hornets, friends, & spouses will be attending our 50th bash in just 10 more days! And you feel there may be more.....awesome I'd say!

Friday's SWARM should bring even more maties aboard. What the heck is Singer Island gonna do? Gettin more fired up each day! For those undecided, it ain't too late!

Ron Doll

In honor of us!

I have changed my flags on my dock on Lake Toho from the usual red, white, & blue and orange & blue to these shown in my photo.

To honor our 50th year from RBHS I selected our Hornet colors, green, white, & gold. Of course, the orange & blue had to stay!

Although we may be parted, we'll never say goodby. You'll always be within our hearts, Oh Riviera High!

George Carter

I for one Ron want to know who is writing all this s*§t for you?? Is it Robin?

Donna Samples (Pintsak)

Oh Donnna and All Fellow Classmates,

I am devastated that I am unable to attend our 50th reunion.  I will miss seeing and reconnecting with you all!!

I had planned on coming but as some of you know I am the caregiver for my 94 year old mother.  I have recently filed for conservatorship of her and as of late last week she has been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease.  We are trying to secure an emergency court hearing for the conservatorship.  This has been a very stressful process and we are looking forward to getting things in place as quickly as possible.  On the bright side, for those of you who remember my Mom, she is doing well and is as sweet as she always was.  She does fondly remember many of you.

My husband Jim and I are both well.  We are still in Southern California and still having fun!  We have two wonderful grandchildren who are the light of our lives!

I want to thank Donna Day Bailey and all of you who have kept these class reunions going and who have kept the spirit and friendship of the Class of 1969 alive!!  I wish you all a wonderful reunion and know that I will be there with you in spirit.  Go Hornets

Laurie Van Deusen (Van Reeth)

Donna Samples, we will all miss the sparkly you have brought to previous reunions.  We’ll print your message & post at this reunion for all to see!   Best of all as to your mim, a very stressful and difficult time you and Jim; I know this difficulty!  If ever back in the Palm Beaches, let us know... we’ll have a mini-reunion just for you!  Take care, Miss You & Stay in Touch.  Send me, please, via email or text your email, cell and address..., as I would like to send you something.  Love, Laurie Van Deusen 🥰

Jan Evans

Donna

We will all miss seeing you at the senior citizen 50th reunion!  Really hope all works out for your Mom. She is so sweet and was always so motherly to me and Happy, the drop in neighborhood kids!  You are fortunate to still have her with you .  Give her my love and best wishes .  Isn't it fun being a Grandma?👩🏻‍🦳  Your old (really!) friend   Jan Evans

Fred Salmon

Sorry you can not attend. Hope all goes well.

Ron Doll

Dear Donna S, I join Laurie, Jan, & Fred as well as the rest of the gang wishing you well & we're sure bummed to hear you can't attend. Thanks for the update & glad you are doing good.

Hey Carter, so your saying I can't be creative? I wonder how long the wait time will be this weekend @ Palm Beach Shores General Emergency Room? Cuz that's where your gonna be when I get thru with you! OBTW Robin, the 2nd ex-fiance, flew the coop in 2006! Please note my new pic which shows me carrying books which apparently you did not get issued!

And just for Mr. Gordon (Don) Arnold Titcomb, there are exactly FIVE days remaining until blastoff! Not 5 months, not 5 weeks, but FIVE DAYS for any classmates that may be forgetful or not on board yet! According the Donna D there's still time to jump on our ship! We'll be SWARMING SINGER Friday eve in four days, so we need to tighten up, get our groove on, & get fired up!

Donna Samples (Pintsak)

Hey Everyone,

It's wonderful to hear from so many of you and thanks for your thoughts and support!  I will really miss seeing you all!

Jan Evans my dear "old" friend and neighbor, you are one of the people that my Mom remembers.  She also remembers Happy Stevens, Ann Woodword and Donna Day.

Fred Salmon, we were always in homeroom together along with Bill Sacco and many others.  Thanks for your thoughts!

Ron Doll you have always been a force of nature and one we could count on to keep the fun going so keep up the good work.

Laurie Van Deusen we go way back from the Lake Park Elementary crowd through RBHS and I hope that the next time I'm able to get to South Florida we are able to get a group of the "locals" together.  That would be awesome.

All of you and our other classmates have a fabulous reunion (I know you will)!!

Love to all!!     Donna S.

Donna Day (Bailey)

Hello RBHS 69ers

Linda and I wanted to send a quick note to congratulate everyone on this 50 year anniversary. We would like to join you, but Linda is working to beat cancer.  She has chemo treatments every three weeks.  She has a great spirit, but the treatments make her very tired.  If anyone has time Saturday, give us a call, 561-624-4820. We would love to hear from friends from a long time ago.  Have a great time.

Best Regards to All

Scott and Linda

Stephen Donahue

Scott and Linda, you have thoughts and prayers from everyone to help! Steve and Victoria Donahue

A thank you to Donna, Laurie, Ron (the Cheerleader) and all the committee members who made our 50^th a great weekend event. It was an event that we will talk about for a long while, friendships were renewed, and a lot of fun was had. Thanks for getting there, until we meet again….
