Class Website Redesign
Our Class website just got a makeover. Hopefully, everyone likes the new redesign. We made the site a little simpler, but still have some really cool features. By the way, we can all post our comments/thoughts under each article now. It's really easy, Just click on the link that says 'comments' under any article and type in your comments then click post. Look forward to hearing your feedback and keep those pictures coming!!

Richard Hernandez
DID YOU KNOW.... Richard Hernandez, who was on the gymnastics team along with his twin brother Robert, was a fire fighter and the fire department shared the same geographical area as DAVE CREELMAN. DAVE recently told me this lovely memory he has of that era. Their main fire station was on N. W. 27th Avenue and around 63rd Street. DAVE told me he remembers stopping by to see Richard and being invited to diner at the fire station on Key Biscayne. (the Police Department of which DAVE was a member. and fire dept. rotated between the combat zone and Key Biscayne on assignments) They enjoyed a nice meal and remembered happier times.
As you know, Richard was later killed when a fire truck over turned on him on a false alarm call. The fire station on N. W. 27th Avenue and 63rd Street in Miami was named after him.
Not a happy memory but we remember the sacrifice of one of our classmates.

Rodger Parker and Richard Klehm
Thought the class may be interested to see Richard and I are still going strong after all these years. It seems like only yesterday that I was throwing the shot put and he was doing the pole vault.....actually, it was only yesterday!! We competed in the Southeastern Master Track and Field Championships held at Duke University this past week-end.
The Masters is open to people ages 19 - 100, and yes people in their 90's still compete. It's broken down into 5yr age groups, so Richard and I competed in the 60-64 age group. He entered and placed in 5 events, including 1st place in the high jump, 2nd in the javelin and pole vault and 3rd in the shot put and discus. I took 2nd in the shot put (I need more practice).
We're competing again at the Master's Open in Charlotte, NC 6/4/05.
Thanks for passing this along to the rest of the class-- and coach Brodsky. Hope you enjoy the pictures. To view the pictures at full size visit the Photo Gallery .
