Becky Rycerz:  

Life I have been married to Rob Rycerz from Hessville, Indiana for 18 years. I have been a Kindergarten teacher for the school town of Highland for the past 26 years. Rob has been a fireman for the City of Hammond for the past 19 years. We have three wonderful children. We have a set of twins, a boy and a girl age 17. We also have a second son age 15. Hunter and Nick both play football for Highland. Brooke likes to paint and draw. Our family has a white and a black lab. The family likes to go camping and fishing in the summer time. We like to visit different amusement parks too! High School There are so many funny stories and memories from my High School days. I remember Mr. Sunny's class and getting teased a great deal by him. Mr. Young's History class kept all of us laughing. Phillips asked a certain young lady (L.M) if he could borrow a pen. She ended up accidently handing him a tampon. He then said, "What the heck am I suppose to do with this?" It was a moment in "History" that I won't ever forget! I can't even remember when I met Steve Dahlkamp, yet he became one of my favorite people in high school and in college. We have shared many fun and memorable times together. I do remember him showing up at my house after a New Year's Eve party. He finished some of the food that was left on the tables as I scrubbed the basement floor.(It was about 2:00 in the morning.) We always had something to discuss no matter what time of the day. Steve, Les Chandler and Jeff Vaugn were always the nicest guys to talk with about anything. Then there was the Foods class with Hoffman and Topor. Remember the orange-soap and salt pie? Chemistry was not one of my best subjects, yet the class was a good time with Mary Guiden, Lewe , Phillips, Paul, Dan and Brasher. English was always one of my favorite classes. I remember being teased because I used mini flashcards to study my vocab words. Even though Lewe teased me for using them, it didn't stop him from borrowing them every Friday. Then there was Scott Abbott and his huge feet! We would put my foot next to his and just laugh! I also had fun listening to Gootie in English. He was the best at telling a good story and making us all laugh. One of the best times was during senior year. A small group of us went to Daytona Beach in Florida. Mary Bartowski, Cheryl Nagy, Liz Kaznak, Robin Ellis, Dee Doran and I flew to Florida. We met several groups of guys and had a really good time. Although our drinks of choice had something to be desired.(Red, White and Blue beer...Boones Farm Strawberry Hill wine) We improved along the way with the help of our new friends. It was an eye opening experience for all of us. It was my first time to sit on a beach and watch the sun come up. It was great! The parties at the end of senior year were also a great deal of fun. A large group of us visited the beach several times. The house parties at A.G.'s and L.K's were a blast! John Muntean had a few extra lawn ornaments one night. Tom Simkin's had an extra body on his front steps one night too. Thanks to Laura Chiabai and Anne Garretson who introduced me to a new drink. Laura's birthday party at her house in Valparaiso was a good time. There were the float meetings at Niki's, Lynn's, Tammy...Expand for more
