Hi everyone,

I haven't been here for a long time. I've been dealing with some very sad times but I don't want to be a downer so I won't go into the multiple soap operas. Suffice it to say...I am still standing.

GREAT NEWS!!! I am finally a Grandma!!! What can I say...my kids are late bloomers, like their Mom. Callie Valentina was born February 15, 2025 and she looks like her Grandma... Poor thing! She's a little chunky monkey but adorable!

I've been to Houston, TX. twice this year to see my son, Brandon, his family and of course Callie V. Brandon is in the Army and stationed at Ft Johnson, La but has a house in Houston, TX. I haven't been to his house on base at Ft. Johnson.

I will post a picture of Callie another time.

The time is now 4:02 am Las Vegas time and I need to get to bed! I am such a night owl and always have been and will always be most likely. I enjoy the peace and quiet of the night. Great time to meditate!

So till I check in next time. I hope all of you are doing well and living a wonderful life!

Warm Regards to all of you and your families,
Roxanna

Thank you everyone for all the birthday greetings!

All of our classmates are important to us and seeing or hearing of any of them passing is so painful.  However, we don't know all of them as close as some.  I knew Bob particularly well as I served on the Football Team's Manager Staff with one of my other best friends and classmates, Bob Franks, along with my brother Chuck '73 and we had so much fun supporting the team and Bob Carter was the "heart" of that team!  He was a super guy, football player, and classmate!  God Bless you, My Good friend! 

Very Respectfully,

Bob Freniere '72

Dear Cynthia: I hope this message finds you and your family doing very well indeed. I am not on this website near enough to follow up on things. Kathi Russel-Rader and I are great friends, and she is always telling me to check-in. I noticed you said you were in Mrs. Johnson's class the day JFK was assassinated. I wasn't at Central Elementary yet but would be the next year (my father was in the service and we were transferred from Warner Robins AFB GA (where I was when JFK was killed). I have always felt Mrs. Johnson was my ALL-TIME FAVORITE TEACHER-EVER! I used to run Cross-Country with her son Tyler, so I stayed in touch that way until I went off to The Citadel and then my own 30 year military career. I am writing a memoir and was hoping you might know what happened to Mrs. Johnson as I want to put us much info in my memoir about her as I can -- she had such a terrific impact on me as a young kid. I mean, I know she must have passed away by now, she was my Mother's age. Anyway, if you can enlighten me with any info on her I'd appreciate it and/or if you know where Tyler is. Take care and hope to hear from you. Warmly,
Bob

My nephew got married last weekend in New Orleans where he is finishing law school at Tulane. It was a beautiful wedding and reception that brought all my siblings together since before Covid. I couldn't resist juxtaposing the three sisters' picture with one from many years ago. I also posted a picture of Steve and me the night he came home from the service; we'd been married ten months but didn't live together in Ohio till then. My favorite picture of us from back then.

I have not logged in for a long time. I just commented on many Birthdays and Anniversaries.... very belated I might add. I didn't get to all of you so Happy Birthday and Anniversary to all!!! My poor digits need a rest! I will try to be better at keeping up contact. I now have more time in my life til I start my next business...I can't seem to sit still. Yes, it will be another jewelry business. I just need to win the lottery to fund it as jewelry businesses are very expensive! and this one will be semi-precious and some precious stones with gold and silver. Best Wishes to all for a wonderful life!

     Bob Klingensmith was one of my better friends and I apologize to him, his family and my classmates to taking so long to be able to write a comment about him, but let's just say I am web-site-challenged.  I had heard from my great brother Chuck that Bob had passed away and I couldn't believe it.  He was always so "full-of-life," and had a super sense of humor, was dedicated to the AFJROTC Program (which he and I were very active in), he was "smarter-than-ten-people) and he was a fellow Airman (serving honorably for his nation in the US Air Force) along with me, my brothers Chuck '73 and Bill '75.

     I will end by saying that Bob was the epitome of everything you would want in a classmate, a friend and a citizen.  God Bless him, as I've kept him in my prayers, and all of his immediate and extended family.

Since I know you are with God Mike, I'll pray that you get to meet my Mother and Father there and that you'll be free of pain now and will keep your family in my prayers.  Bob Freniere, Colonel, USAF (Ret.)

Hey Classmate Jim, best friend and fellow Football Manager! I thought I would let y ou now that I've been living up near West Chester University for the past year to be near my second oldest son, Eric, who has just two classes left to obtain his BS in Business and GIS at West Chester University. Send me an email at yangel@aol.com if you get a chance. I know we talked a while back and it would be great to catch up with you. :)
Respectfully,
Bob '72
