Hello Marian and Jacque!

I had so hoped to figure out a way to get down there for the reunion, but nothing worked.  I so appreciate all your efforts to put this together.  I'm attaching my "history" as Jacque asked for in her voicemail.  I've visited the website and had great fun persuing all the folks' pictures and information...Carole Anderson, Jody Frutchey, Penny Blackford and you, Jacque, among others!  I know you will have a wonderful weekend.

All the best,

Joanne

Hi,

Thanks to all of you who worked so long and hard to put on a 5 star class reunion.  It went way beyond what I expected and I'm so glad that I came.  And didn't we all look great!!! Hope you are all enjoying a well deserved rest.

Jacque,

Thank you and all the rest of the committee for a wonderful and truly memorable weekend! It was heart warming to see everyone again.  What a wonderful trip into memories of the golden past.  Despite all the changes to Winter Park, with all my classmates around me I truly felt back home again. Thank you all for making this happen.

Ann

Lee,

How wonderful to hear from you. Time goes by too quickly.  I'm in the motion picture industry as an assistant director, a script supervisor and maybe an actor. Remember that's how I started out at Winter Park High. Do you have a 1959 yearbook for Winter Park High. I lost mine. I would love to have a copy. I'll pay for it. Tonight I'm leaving for Miami Beach and the Bahamas. Please keep in touch. My email address is ronbissland@earthlink.net. Thanks for writing.

Ron Bissland

Howdy,

I understand from the email below that someone has been looking for me and that possibly it isn't the cops or the IRS this time. I have been admitted (committed might be a more apt description?) into the witness protection program and am hiding out in WINTER PARK whee no one would ever think to look for me. 

Actually, I just work for the City of Winter Park. I've been here a little over fifteen years.  I moved out of town a lot of years ago and live in Volusia County in the woods approximately four miles east of Osteen and south of Maytown Road.  My residence address is Osteen.

Ralph says there is talk of a reunion in 2009 and that prompted y'all to start trying to re-establish contact with all of the lost lambs.  Well, you can take this one off your list.  I am looking forward to geting a chance to meet with the gang again. Call, write, email me as you can see fit, or whatever, when you get the chance.

It was great to hear from you.I did not know about any previous plans to have a reunion. I married and had two children, two girls, Dawn, the oldest and Holly. They have given me 5 grandchildren. Two of which live in Florida, Brandon to be exact. Three live in Texas. The oldest, in Texas, Chanel, will be 18 in February, 2008. Holly also had twins 16 years ago in October, a boy, Taylor and a girl Alexa whom we call Lexy; they will be 16 this year. Dawn has two girls, Savannah and Paris. They are 9 and 6 respectively. I remarried 5 years later to a wonderful man whose wife had died after 28 years of marriage. We were married 18 years before he died September of 2005. In 1961, we moved to Maryland and our children were born there. Then, off we went to St. Petersburg to oversee the construction of a highrise in 1969. We were there for approximately 2 1/2 years and then went to a construct a college campus in Richardson, Texas. I lived there 26 years before Bob and I moved to Sarasota, Florida, with Dawn and Todd, who had no children at the time. I have been in this house for 14 years and I love it. I got to stay home when the girls were younger and that is what I wanted. Then I started working. Here in Florida I have been a file clerk for an insurance company, receptionist for a beeper company, receptionist for a dentist and then went to work for a temp agency as a dental receptionist. I have helped my son-in-law, Todd, to pour curbing around flower beds and painted driveways that he etched. I am rarely home and hate to answer the phone when I am. Write soon.

I have my updated bio on the Classmates listing, haven't heard from anyone in years. I am in upstate New York near Lake George. After HS I was in the Military for 14 years, got out in 71, married, wife's name is Donna, one daughter, Jennifer, three grandchildren, 2 boys age 12 & 1, a granddaughter age 5. I retired after 30 years from a Banking Corporation as their Collection Officer. I now work part-time for the Boy Scouts. My son-in-law is in the 10th Mt Div stationed at Ft Drum so I spend a lot of time travelling up to see the grandkids. Plus I devote a lot of time to Rotary as I am a District Chair for World Community Service, keeping busy. I don't know how I ever had time to work. Good hearing from you.
