Ronnie's Story

WOW.. 2017 Arrived Like a Thief in the Night! What Happened to 1981? Hello, Ron Martin here, some of you also knew me as Ronnie, Today is Aug 31 2017. Many of you might remember me I Hope. I will give you the Quick Version BIO of myself back in 1980-81. I Moved to Wellington Fla in 1980 for a temporary period of time, I also worked locally at The Wellington Polo Club in the evenings, Did you work there too? Who was the Red Head girl named Kathy whom worked in the kitchen? I remember a girl named Joy whom worked as a Bus Girl, and the head dish washer named Dean. The Polo Club was a Hysterical place to be employed when your 17 years old! Wellington was a Very New development back in 1980 and I have met some very good people in Wellington during my stay for about 1 year. Many Wooded Areas around Wellington provided great Keg-Party Gatherings..lol Thinking Back, Wellington was One Big Cloud of Smoke from Weed! Forest Hills High School was Very Far Away from Wellington, was like a 25 mile drive one way as I recall. Each morning, on the 30 minute drive to school, we passed joints all around the car as we usually car pooled to school in a small VW Bug Looking back, I was not very well engaged with High School, I found myself in the student parking lot of Forest Hills High smoking mega amounts of pot, Hiding from the school security guard named Mr. Walker. Anyone remember that guy named Mr. Walker? Walker was a school security guard and that guy would chase you 2 miles away from Campus Grounds, He would chase people right into the 7-11 store that was down the street and try to drag you back to school in his old pickup truck. I remember Mr. Walker was famous for shouting out the window of his truck as he would chase you, he had a Creepy Laugh while telling you IM GONNA GET YA! ( Running from him and his old truck with a Buzz-On was a cerebral experience ) WOW That Guy Was a Freak! Anyway. I've Since Left Those Pot Smoking Days Back at Forest Hills High. Odd Story .. One Night While Burning a Joint and Attending a Party in Wellington, ( Just Like a Light Switch ).., I Simply Lost Interest in Smoking Weed That Night at That Party. I handed the Joint back to someone and I replied.. I Dont Like This Anymore, Im Done! Days Later, Despite Trying Again and Again to ...Expand for more
Find Pleasure in the High, Trying to Force Myself To Like Smoking Weed, I simply Could Not Find Enjoyment Anymore and Never Partied With Pot Again. To This Very Day as I Sit Here at My Kitchen Table and Write This Note, I Will Never Forget That Night When I Lost Interest for Pot, and I Have No Idea Why. Looking back I wish I could say the same for cigarettes over the years! I never graduated from Forest Hills High for two reasons.. -One Reason Being I Always Skipped Classes to Get High With The Surfers or Stoners. -Second Reason was because I moved away on a moments notice. My grades were very poor as I never showed up to classes. I Attended Forest Hill High School 1980-81. in the 10th grade only, before catching a plane to Boston for an emergency family visit for many months in 1981, before hopping on a Greyhound Bus to Upstate NY to visit more family for a few months. After leaving Boston and Upstate NY back in 1981, I Never moved back to Wellington to reside. Instead; I chose to move back home to my original surroundings where I grew up Pembroke Pines Fla. I lost touch with many of you since. People like Mike Ochiogrosso, Rob Capriotti, Bob Hanna, Alisson Levy, Karen Saar, many other that I cant recall the names. Anyone remember that Ice Cream Parlor in Wellington named Shivers? WOW I spent soo many quarters playing Asteroids in that place! I later attended Broward College. and went into the Rescue Field Broward County Medic.for many years. Few Years ago I switched to a Very Strict 100% Vegan Diet and it was a challenge.. Today I am a Vegetarian whom loves his Bud Lite ! My Gosh, Sad to admit that for the past 30+ years I carried a pack of cigarettes Everywhere that I Went. I Stopped Smoking Cigarettes about 3 Years ago and wish I never started those Horrid Things! Guess I've said enough personal agenda and wont bore you with more.. Today, I live in South Florida Hollywood, The area is not getting better around here. Recently in transition from prior occupation after 20 years. Im going back to school to maybe get a degree in Computer Science.. God Has Blessed Me in Many Ways and I Try to Remember To Thank The Lord Every Day ! I Sincerely Hope This Letter Finds You in Good Health, Good Spirits, and Have a Relationship With Jesus Christ. Peace.. Ronnie Martin
