Robert's Story
Life,
Thanks for stopping by. I am now on facebook as it is free. I appreciate all those who have signed my guestbook but since I am not a paying member I am unable to see who it is. You can contact me at bobwalker10(at)aol(dot)com.
I attended the University of Alabama on a wrestling scholarship (71-75). I married Trish in 1973, still married. After graduation we joined Campus Crusade for Christ/Athletes in Action Wrestling Team for four years. I had the opportunity to wrestle all over the world. I won the Nationals in 1977 and placed 3rd in the World Championships in 1979. Not bad for a boy from Midway City. I was blessed with many great coaaches, Vern Wagoner, FVHS, Bernie Haber, High School Club Coach, Frank Horpell, high school club coach, Gene Davis and Bob Anderson AIA Coaches.
Moved to Florida in 1979. We have 4 kids Ethan 33, Joy 31, David and Erin 30. I have three granddaughters, Hailey (8) and Deanna (7) and Jacqueline (5) and three grandsons, Derek (5) and David (4) and Andrew (3). They are great!
I have a small family business making sailboat rudders near the University of Florida. My parents started it in 1978. I took over in 1992 when they retired. My son Dave is going to take over wh...Expand for more
en I retire. I have just built a phase 1 of a Self Storage Facility. This will be my retirement project, I hope. We live in the woods on 10 acres and love the peace and quiet. I spend lots of time fishing. I would be glad to hear from you.
I have just learned that Coach Wayne Michaelian (FV assistant coach) Dan Lewis FV taemmate) Russ Cozart (Upland HS and College roomate) and Chris Horpell (HS club coaches son and teammate) are being inducted into the California Wrestling Hall of Fame on May 19th. Paul LeBlanc is organizing a Fv wrestling reunion. I plan on being there. I will update this after I get back.
I attended the Hall of Fame banquet. It was great. The next day we had a reunion, that was even better! I saw guys I havn't seen in over 30 years. I will try to post some photos. I believe that the 1969 wrestling team was one of the most accomplished groups of any team, any school of all time. Five members went on to win national championships, Pan Am and World Championship medals.
My college wrestling team had a reunion in August of 07. It was great to see many of the guys I wrestled with in college. The University of Alabama Athletic Department rolled out the red carpet for us. It was very nice.
