Hi Bill and Claudia,
As 2017 is coming to a close, I wanted
to check in our class website for a review
of the year’s news. Hopefully more
of us will be adding their updates too.
??
My
husband, Jim, and I have been in the Bay
Area of San Francisco since 1969. Our
three daughters live in California too.
The photo below features two of the girls
with their spouses (on the right side)
- Jim and Connie on the left, with our
two grandsons closing the circle.
We
all enjoy outdoor action- hiking, swimming,
golf and taking in the sights.
Best
Wishes for 2018 to all. Will there be
a reunion in this year?
Our
of 58 class has certainly spread out through
the U.S. Fortunately though, a majority
of you happily positioned yourselves in
the Sunshine State! For me Florida is
home to lots of special memories. Our
formative years there were pivotal forecasts
to college, vocations, family and all
the places we take on. Winter Park High-
miss you and think well of all. Happy
Holidays. Connie Ragnitt/Lieske

|  Elaine
L'heureux (September 27th, 1940) was featured
in a 70th birthday event put on by her
daughters, Pamela Lloyd and Debbie Whitescarver.
It was held at Debbie's home in Waterford
Lakes and included all of Elaine's children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren, her
brother, Ed, and a few friends (including
backyard playmates from WP elementary
school and high school). There were
lots of memories revisited going back
in time through a collage of photos and
music orchestrated by Debbie and Pamela
to capture the days of living in New York,
New Jersey, and Winter Park. A great time
was had by all as they reminisced the
family history. This was a wonderful lead
into the WPHS Class of 58 party at Mead
Gardens celebrating all of our 70th birthdays.

Subject: Marriage - Tommy Woodruff &
Leslie Schwartz
2010
is the year of our 70th birthdays and
must have triggered a wave of marriages.
We have been informed that Tommy Woodruff
and his longtime lady friend, Leslie Schwartz,
were married last spring. They reside
in South Carolina on a golf course and
lake resort. Tommy and Leslie will not
make it to the birthday party, but do
plan to be in Winter Park on Nov. 14-16
to visit Tommy's mom who is 95 years young. |

Davis ('58) and Jacque Frutchey ('59)
were married July 27, 2010 in
the State of North Carolina. Congratulations
to the happy couple. (added

E-mail from Chuck to Lee:
Well,..........I've
decided to marry my old Sweetheart from
Winter Park High School. We've been seeing
each other, commuting back and forth from
Orlando and Suwanee since Feb., and have
decided it's time to "tie the knot".
Haven't decided on a place and time for
the marriage ceremony, but probably will
be just she and I in front of a "Justice
of the Peace". We've agreed that
we don't need a big wedding with all the
"hoopla" so expect to have a
quiet little ceremony by ourselves.
We don't
know yet where we'll live, but will work
on that when the housing market improves.
May end up selling both homes, and finding
some place we both really want. Until
then, we'll live in both, traveling back
and forth.
Will provide
more detail when it's known.

Subject: Mini Reunion
October 7, 2010
I will really
miss being at the mini reunion in November.
My husband Bob is having a knee replacement
on Monday, Nov 8 and it's just a bit complicated
to head to FL for that Friday-Saturday
reunion. I hope there will be other times.
We're still
retired but serving as part-time co-rectors
at 15 year old parish, St. Matthew's Episcopal
Church, Chesterfield, VA (a part of the
greater Richmond area). We're enjoying
the people and the ministry there and
will probably be there a year or until
their call their new rector.
We are
blessed as our children Pamela (Bill)
and Robert (Sally) are living in the Richmond
area. Each has three children - Pam and
Bill just became empty nesters as their
youngest went to college in August. Rob
and Sally's are still at home with the
oldest being 15.
When our
grandchildren are 11-12 we take them on
a trip. This summer, it was Kate's turn,
Rob and Sally's middle child. For the
first time we did not create our own trip
but traveled with Elderhostel - now Road
Scholar on an intergenerational trip with
12 adults and 9 young people between 11
and 13 to France. We had a great time
- seeing Brittany, Normandy and Paris.
Kate was a delightful traveler.
We welcome
visitors and have plenty of room. We're
about 1/2 mile west of Richmond proper
and on the south side of the James River
which runs through Richmond.
Peace, Ruth (Goodrich) Partlow |

| Bill
and Joan Cross visited their
daughter in Newport Beach, California.
While on the west coast they arranged
to meet with Jesse Pipkin and his wife,
Peggy, spend the day at the San Diego
Zoo and have dinner together that evening.
Jesse has committed to coming to the mini-reunion
in the Fall.

passed
away May 25th, 2010. Mr. Rehmund was on faculty
at Winter Park High School in the capacity of
head of DCT and Vocational Counseling from 1953
to 1967 when he was appointed as Assistant Director
of the Evening Division of the Orange County
Vocation School. Click on the link above to
read about Mr. Rehmund's life and accomplished.
He was an inspiration to many of us who were
fortunate enough to sit in his class. |

With
some initial prodding from jim lansdale, Elaine
L'Heureux took the reigns and put together a
dinner for those classmates nearby and available
on short notice on Friday night before the Picnic
in the Park Event. We had a wonderful time at
the Outback Restaurant with a banquet style
setup. Click
to see the photographs. We've
pledged to do it again based on the feedback,
and with better notice, more folks may be able
to attend. Take notice that Kip Watson was in
attendance, great to see him and meet his wife
Aliza . He has offered his dance studio for
the next outing along with a "dancing with
the WPHS stars contest" and lessons!!
See

A REAL fashion statement made by our very

is required to play this course is a collar!

| On
December 2nd, Elaine L'Heureux held a class of
1958 luncheon at her home for as many
local classmates as she could reach. This was
the continuation of the hurricane Faye party for
Jim Butler. He was able to get his vehicle here
this time, whereas last time it would have required
a boat to get here. In fact, twenty of us did
attend the delightful event. A great time was
had by all of us, which includied rides in Bill
Burton's antique auto as pictured herein. Of course,
the laughs and stories continued all afternoon,
and, we called Larry Cowart to see how he was
doing in his recovery from his auto accident.
(He is doing well, but mighty tired of his halo
headwear.) We did manage to capture a team photo
of attendees for your viewing. We all pledged
to try to continue these events in the future;
we welcome your suggestions, participation, and
hosting a group outing too. Click
to see a few of the photographs. (posted

WPHS Website - Class of 1958

Dear
Friends,
Jo
Ann and I, along with our daughter Mary
Margaret and my sister Marion (WPHS Class
of 65) have recently returned from a trip
to Russia and Siberia to see the total
eclipse of the sun. Three weeks and who
knows how much money for an event that
lasted a little over two minutes. But
we also spent a wonderful time cruising
on rivers, canals, and lakes between Moscow
and St. Petersburg (very wondrous cities),
spent over thirty hours in a sleeping
car on the Trans Siberian railroad, and
cruised on huge Lake Baikal in Eastern
Siberia. We were in Moscow when the war
between Georgia and Russia broke out and
were able to listen both to the Russian
spin on the events and the BBC spin. What
we chiefly discovered is that TV news
mostly likely is as much propaganda as
anything no matter where you go. But do
put a total solar eclipse on your bucket
list. It is phenomenal.
Daughter
Mary Margaret has recently moved to Jacksonville
where she is an assistant professor of
law. This means, I am sure, more trips
to Florida are in the offing for us.

,
Elaine L'Heureux and Jane Martin put together
a luncheon for local classmates that they
could quickly contact to attend. The original
purpose was to celebrate, and host the
lunch for a visit from Jim Butler, Melbourne
area. But Tropical Storm Fay had other
ideas and Jim could not get across the
St. Johns River without a boat and was
a last minute cancellation. It was held
at our old stomping grounds of Steak 'n
Shake on east Colonial Dr. The waitress
from Steak 'n Shake decorated the tables
in orange and black and had posters and
a favor (a WPHS hot/cold insulated tumbler)
for each of us!!
We had a guest appearance from Kip Watson,
who stopped by to say hello. Besides the
hostesses, in attendance were Barney Blackburn
and wife, Bob Wacker, Toni DeVito, Claudia
Banks, Shirley Van Hyning, Henry Eastman
and wife, Jim Buck and guest, Ed L'Heureux,
Punky Wattles and husband, Diane Sommer,
Bill Cross and wife.
Boy
what a noisy group---I hope we didn't
chase any customers away from the restaurant.
But, the noisier we got, the more fun
the gang appeared to have. We all came
away with the thought of doing it again
in the near future and hopefully more
classmates can be included. If any of
you (classmates) are coming to town, give
us some advance notice and we will try
to gather a group for lunch. |
