Gerald's Latest Interactions
I didn’t know your name was Jim. I thought it was “Tootie”!
I'm preparing to move. While cleaning out my desk I found a letter I had written in support of the nomination to the Florida Hall of Fame of your fearless leader, T.J. You all must be aware of his many accomplishments by now, but I thought you might be interested in what manner of a man is amongst you. Please see below:
Hi Smitty! Thank you for leading the way and providing your profile and biographical information for your classmates to see. I hope others will follow your lead and share theirs also. One of the highlights of previous reunions always has been the now-defunct reunion newsletter that this technology can now replace. It's always fun to see what has become of some of your old classmates. I intend to provide my own information. Your class made up my first football head coaching assignments, first as freshmen on a numbers-depleted sophomore team and then as seniors on my first head varsity coaching assignment. Your 1969 undefeated team was the first STA team in history to be named State Football Champions by a newspaper poll (there were no playoffs in those days). The previous team, Bill Ridley's 1968 team, was the first undefeated football team in the 134-year history of our school, so you were undefeated for two consecutive years!
