William's Story
Hello to anyone reading this,
After high school, I went to Iowa Wesleyan College and competed on the Swimming & Diving team (received most valuable swimmer my first year). Then transferred to the University of Maryland for the diving team, but ended up on the gymnastic gymkanna troup. After college, taught physical education for 33 years in good old Montgomery County. I finished up as department head and supervisor of the Physical Education, Health, Art, Music, and Foreign Language departments for my school. I coached Swimming teams for Springbrook, Walter Johnson, Seneca Valley, & Watkins Mill. I was a regional diving coach for all 23 high schools in Montgomery County. I also coached about 25 years of girls gymnastics & volleyball at Gaithersburg High School.
I retired from teaching in Montgomery County in 2006, and since I have lived in Gettysburg PA since 1983, I don't miss the sometimes 2 hours a day commute each way to work. My wife Beth taught 1st grade here in Gettysburg. My son Michael lives on the same lake as me and works in Logistics for Target. My daughter Catie teaches art in Colorado. I substitute here in Gettysburg most every day - usually at Gettysburg high school in physical education. (Done some long-term the p...Expand for more
ast two years.) I also help with the track team at Gettysburg High & coached their girls volleyball team.
Much of life now is water sports & competiting in triathlons (including 6 IronMan as of 2012), and sixteen 4.4 mile swims across the Chesapeake Bay as of 2013. I will be competing in the 2014 IronMan in Boulder Colorado. You can find me on Facebook as William Caywood. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I really enjoyed High School and remembering classmates like you!
I spend most my time training with friends for triathlons. My daughter Catie also competes in many of my events as well as her own. We competed together last year in the IornMan triathlon in Lake Placid New York. We also swim the 4.4 mile Chesapeake bay event each June. Not to mention other events we do together in Colorado.
Since we live on a lake, My wife & I spend most every day from late April to early November water skiing, kayaking, and swimming. When we travel, it is to see our children, or to surf the Outer Banks of NC.
We have been to all class reunions. The reunion for the class of 68 was fall of 2008, and the multiple year one was during the fall of 2007. I sure would like to see more attend - It's really great to see people like you!
