Your website is awesome!! What a terrific way to stay in touch.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for

Great sight!!!!!!!!!
How about when 13 th st, South of Derbyshire
was a wood chip trail (1956). My parents
bought 2 lots at 13th and
My Dad had a gas station on A1A and Ora. Gas was 25
cents. Full service! He said he made a nickel a gallon, so for
extra money, he would sand,
and mask your car with newspapers, and spray 2 coats of Dupont
Deluxe
enamel on your car for $50.
Ever price an auto paint job these days?? He told me to not touch his new Divilbis spray gun, It cost over
$50. Divilbis
spray gun now is $650 !!!!!!!!!!
I airbrushed tee shirts at Big Daddy
Rats "Rats Hole" for several years.
Tee shirt with decal,=$2.50. Sweatshirt $1.00 extra.
As far as where John Trivolta
landed his jet, that was an old closed airport called Samsula
drag strip I
think. The local kids who drank , would go out there and party! I only recall going there once. No lights,
dark as hell,
drugs had not come on the scene yet. (that I knew of)
Once again, great sight! Thanks for the memories!!

look at it? Since if you’re reading
this, I’m assuming you’ve seen most of the videos on the Internet, the main thing
that would have been new to you would be the 10 Year Reunion long version. Did anybody
learn anything from Lewis’ questions?
Did anybody notice Michael Bell sneaking up there to get some of those
special “Trojan” awards? How about that
dancing section?
By the way… did you know that Vicky Strode hadn’t

thought of for the Cruise Reunion.

About 5 months ago I was not
going to come to this reunion.
But then I got a super nice email
from you telling me about the SCHS Class of 77 website, I got curious and
checked it out, a lot. Then I got another nice email, well maybe 3 emails
asking for a profile and finally I relented and put the profile
together. The more I saw posted on the website, the more I wanted to
be a part of it, that's when I decided to attend a reunion
committee meeting and see what it was all about. It was fun to see
all those faces I would pass in the halls 30 years ago and just how friendly
and down to earth everyone was at that meeting. We
all turned out to be just regular guys and gals! Now I am really looking
forward to tomorrow night and don't be surprised if I show up later Saturday
night too!
I am thinking that if you
motivated me to go to the reunion, I bet there are dozens others that have felt
the same! I just really wanted to say thanks again for all the work you
put into this, for keeping me posted and the laughs from the videos!

I just have to chime in here and
thank everyone who made this weekend possible. I had a blast like everyone else
and feel totally in debt to a wonderful group of our classmates.
Of course, tops
is Tom, Lloyd and Mike Bell. None of us will ever know the kazillion
hours these men put into the reunion! They were fabulous and being local,
really logged the miles around town finding people, scouting out and securing
locations, banking, etc... etc... The number of hours
spent on the phone and the internet tracking classmates down over the last
15 months is incalculable! Many times I got emails from them in the
wee hours of the morning before they went to bed or hours before my eyes were
open in the morning. To say they were devoted to this task is a
huge understatement! Hats off to you guys and the
amazingly supportive wives, Debbie and Ann, who helped in every way possible.
Thank you a million times over! You are definitely honorary hawks! It
was a joy to work with you all. And Mike Bell, I do believe, missed his
calling as a bill collector or bounty hunter. If anyone was ever part
bloodhound, it is him! He is easily responsible for single handedly tracking down
about 50 percent of our missing list! Thanks also to Anne, Tom & Deb's
kids and Brad & Laura Johnson Taylor's daughter for manning our
welcome tables and greeting our classmates! That was above and beyond for
sure!

Well, here we go again, we have to wait ten years,
well maybe five, until we can say hey, have a drink and a dance. If you think
about it, the last time we danced together was TEN YEARS AGO! Holy cow! We only
get 7 or 8 of those our entire life and 4 or 5 are already used up!
I asked a few people the other night if they thought
it would be weird if someone were to just click on one of the Hawks on Line
e-mail addresses and send an old friend from school an e-mail, out of the blue
to say hey, what’s goin on? They all said without
exception, NO! That’s what they are there for!
So, I have already send a bunch out to some I saw and
some who could not make it, just to say hey, had fun, see you again, or how are
you doing we missed you.
So, this is a shout out to all of you- click on an
old friend, say hey, keep it going, and these next years will mean nothing.
They will fly by so fast, or better yet, we will all have excuses to visit
someplace we never would have before.
I hope to see the site visits to the Haws on Line
page leap into the future. Keep this class alive, don’t forget, and the best
thing someone could say to an old friend is, “Hey, how are you doin, we missed you!” Don’t let time pass you by. I

proceeded to just have a great time with the rest of us. Can you imagine all the stories that he was

First, I want to thank everyone
who helped, and everyone who attended our reunion events! It would not have
been possible without each and everyone of you!
I came home this morning with
mixed emotions. It kind of reminded me of walking across the stage, 30 years ago,
to accept my high school diploma. After all of the hard work, it was all over,
but I really didn't want it to end! For the last 3 days, I was back in high
school with all of my friends. Cruisin' in my
Mustang, the keg parties, sitting in the bleachers watching the football game
and the "High Steppin Hawks", sneaking off
to the Liquor store in Miami while the band practiced for the Orange Bowl
Parade, hanging out with my Three Amigos (Mark, James, and
Joe).............This was the BEST 72 hours of my life! Can't we PLEASE
stop time for just a little while longer so I can talk to a few more people,
laugh some more, tell another "remember when" story? It can't be
over, we were just getting started. I can't remember when the last time I was
there for Last Call, and the lights came on. And the
GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could thank each of you
for the new memories I'll cherish until we meet again. It was great to see so
many old friends and make some new ones. I appreciate all of the "thank
you" comments I received from all of you, but I have to thank you for
making it the best reunion yet. I know I may a little impartial, but I think
everyone enjoyed themselves. For those of you who were unable to attend, or
chose not to for whatever reason, we did miss you! Even more, I'm sorry you
weren't there to share the experience. Maybe, next time.
So, now I'll go back in time once
again. My camera is loaded with memories of the last 3 days, and I can back
whenever I want, and that empty feeling will go away!

Frankly I was surprised this was not uncovered
sooner. I never would reply directly to the sender because I was afraid I would
select the wrong e-mail account and give myself away. Then there were the
planning meetings where I really had to watch what I said and I never commented
on what the BlogMaster had to say. There were times
when body armor would have been appropriate.
I think Michael Bell had me figured out the first
week, but I had to throw him off the trail. Deny Deny
Deny… but anyone who really knows me would have
figured it out from the first one or two blogs, since
if you read carefully, I suggested it to Lloyd, in writing, in Post Number
One!
Well, tomorrow is the big day, and for once the
saying about weddings and funerals will not be true. We will be getting together
not because we have to, but because we want to... The numbers are wonderful and
I am glad there are people from other school and classes attending. You know
even though this town has grown up and Deltona is the biggest city in the
county, for those of us who grew up here, Daytona is still a small town. You
run into people who you grew up with just about every day. Even until a short
time ago, I went to high school with the UPS guy! See, it is a small
town… Now he’s retired and we miss him. But I’m sure I’ll run into him
somewhere soon.
Reunions are important for us because of course high
school was the set piece of growing up! We didn’t realize it then, but I think
we do now. I wish our kids had that wisdom today, I know I didn’t back then.
When we meet tomorrow, prepare for a shock, we’ve all aged, I’ve gained a few
pounds, our kiddies won’t be hangin with us like ten
years ago because they all now have wheels and are doing the teenage thing. Hummmm,,, But our minds are livin in the 70’s.
Those of us who were fortunate enough to be part of
the planning had fun doing so! In fact I think we agreed to keep meeting just
to have fun. You’re all invited, just check the website from time to time for
the time and place.

I would like to thank
everyone who has attended our meetings, and helped in planning, what looks to be,
a very successful reunion. Special thanks to Maggie, Michael, and Lloyd,
who without them, we would be no where near the numbers we have achieved. We
have 252 attending on Friday, and 180 attending on Saturday. We have bent over
backwards, jumped through hoops, done cart wheels and flips, to reach as many
people as possible, and accommodate everyone who made last minute plans. It's
unfortunate that some of our classmates have chosen not to attend, for whatever
reasons, but we hope they will reconsider next time as we begin planning a 35
year Reunion Cruise for 2012. Once again, we will include All Schools in our planning, however, you won't be able to call me the week
before, or 3 days before, in hopes of attending. So, PLEASE, plan ahead
and start saving now. We should have some definite information in 3 years
(2010), and will be sending this info to you when it is available.
Many of our classmates are
arriving as I write this, and some have made plans of their own for small
gatherings of their closest friends for tomorrow night (Thursday). Remember,
you can visit the Daytona Lagoon on Friday, all day, at special rates, before
the actual event at
The Ocean Walk Resort does
not allow parking unless you are staying at the resort. We are very sorry about
this inconvenience! This information was not given to us until recently, so
once again, you will need to park at the multilevel garage on Saturday as well.
So, here we go!!
Dress casual, especially Friday, and plan on seeing some old friends, and
meeting new ones as well. It's going to be a lot of fun, and we've designed the
events to be conversation friendly. Bring your old photos, and share some
stories. After 30 years, we have a lot to talk about.
Last, congratulations to
Mike (aka Blogmaster) for
making it interesting! You had me going right up to the fake check! We should
all thank him for not going to
Be Safe and have Fun

I don't recall a capsule....who
was involved in putting it together, where and when was it buried??? Let's find
out and get it up...how perfect 30 years later. If someone can figure this out,
let's go for it. We could dig it up and then open it Friday or Saturday night
at one of the events.
Maggie Nelson Morgan
Maggie Darling, missed you
at lunch today!
I won’t repeat your perfectly put words here but
yes! That would be nice if we could.. Find the time
capsule and open it up..
What perhaps do you think could be in there?
Mr. Allen’s hair do? Nope,
no time capsule needed there,
Mr. Simmons’ golf balls, nope, still using them
himself,
A Flavia room key? Perhaps..
Somebody’s video, nope we didn’t have videos back
then.
DOES ANY BODY HAVE ANY IDEAS??????

Hey BlogMaster,
Does anyone know what happened to our time capsule? Was it dug up
at a previous reunion? If not, is there any way to dig it up for this
reunion?
Have a good one!
Sharon Pompey
Well Sharon that’s a real good question!
Any Hawk out there know
about this?? ;>)

Last night I went through the entire MIA list and
checked it against the Social Security Death Index and found that Kert Durant passed away in 2003. This is just another reminder that we are
only getting one day at a time. The Good
Lord is not promising another day and we are all going to pass away in
time. Hopefully you are ready to meet
Him.
Just something to think about.
