Hi Hawks !  Skip Desrochers here, boy has it been a long time since we came from our respective schools to create a new and proud school in the Port Orange boonies.. or what ? Last century even !

 

In November of my senior year (1976) I enlisted in the Navy and was off to boot camp in August 77. I graduated from The United States School of Photography and was off to Guam for a couple years. The Navy brought me to Moffett Field Ca. where I met my ex-wife and the mother of my 2 sons Sean and Frank.

 

I managed a local camera store for a couple of years, and then got hired on with a hi-tech Silicon Valley company where we wore clean suits and passed through air showers to get to our processing machines. They laid me off in November of 87 and at the time we were expecting our first child. God always seems to open a door when he closes a window, and I am happy to say that on Dec 15th I will be celebrating 19 years with Fedex.

 

It can be tough being a Dolphin fan out here in 9er and Raider country, but to steal the motto from the U.S.M.C. us fins fans are Sempre Fi.

 

I currently live in Santa Clara which is right next to San Jose Ca, with my sweetheart of the last 4 years.  Lorie also works at Fedex with me and she is the light of my life.

 

Sean graduated 4th in his class of 68 from Saint Lawrence Academy (glad he got mom’s smarts), and Frank has been elected a class representative at Arch Bishop Mitty and is really enjoying his freshman year.

 

Well I hope to see you all at the reunion and wish to thank all those folks who are volunteering and leading the way so that we can all get together and reminisce.

 

Speaking of which, do any of you remember the time Mr Malloy was telling us during one of our 1st period fire drills, while we were standing out in front of the main office, and looking at a pile of garbage that the janitor had just swept up and left there, that this was in fact the remains of an alien space ship that had touched down on our planet and had disintegrated because it had no defense against our mother planets bacteria ??? wow..

 

now.. 

and then 

 

See you all in July 07 !
