Robert's Story
I retired from teaching in '04 from Priest River H.S., way up here in the Panhandle of Idaho. I moved up here in '78 after teaching 1 year in Lordsburg, 8 years in Silver City, and 4 years in Moriarity, NM.
I have two daughters, both live in Florida... Monika, the oldest, lives in Bradenton and Kristina in Tampa. Krissi has a daughter, Isis, who is going to be 5 in September and Monika has a boy, Beckham, who is 8 months old.
I remarried about 5 years ago to Patricia who is an accomplished artist.
I've been officiating high school sports for the past 30 years after I got out of coaching in '80. I can't seem to stay away from the ball fields. I guess I'll continue to chase kids up and down ball fields as long as the adrenalin keeps flowing and the Ibuprofen kicks in at game time.
I understand that the WHS Reunion Co...Expand for more
mmittee is planning a Reunion in 2010. Let's all get on the "Bandwagon" and start planning on attending. I would sure like to reconnect with all my old classmates one more time. I'll bet all your war-stories, silk-stories, love-stories, etc. have improved since our last days at Western.
I attended our Western New Mexico University 60's Reunion in April, 2007, 2008, 2009, and had a great time. I published a web page with pictures from our years at Western in the 60's and pictures from our two reunions in 2007 and 2008. I'm still updating the 2009 reunion page... not as fast as I used to be.
If you would like to check it out, let me know and I'll send you the web address. I'm sure you'll remember quite a few of your H.S. classmates that attended WNMU. (or should I say, New Mexico Western College??)
Hope to see you soon.
