More Boca Raton Today
Ray Deckard sent in these two recent photos of Boca. The picture on the left is a nice sunset shot looking east at the Boca inlet. The photo on the right is one of two water spouts that touched down in Lake Boca. Ray figures that they must have come in over South Beach. Keep 'm coming, Ray ... Thanks!
After a Decade ...
I thought that it would be interesting to show students at Boca High during the 1977 school year. Kathie Halko Cochran and Stefanie Gilbert (both class of 1977) perched atop the school's sign. Kathie was an attendee at our recent reunion at Beech Mountain, NC.
More Motorcycles
Ray Deckard and Jorge Delgado (both class of 1968) shown on their Suzuki 80s during the summer of 1965 (above left). Ray and his prized BSA 650 back in 1976 (above right). Get your motor running ... born to be wild!
More from Ray's Archives
Ray Deckard sent a few more photos from his collection. To the left is Tom Brownell (68) making observations of Surfer's Beach. To the right are coaches Benson and Bennett walking towards the science building. In the background, the library is to the right and the home economics building is to the left.
Another Gem from Ray
Ray Deckard - keep these great pictures coming. (picture him digging thru boxes of real old stuff!!)
Here's
Joi Leapline Pack (68) holding a craft doll. Wonder what craft event or art class it was from? Anyway- isn't she precious?????
Navy Daze!
  Whilst you all were sleeping snug in your beds, I was on duty making all that possible (cough-cough!). The first photo, upper left, I'm sitting on my bunk in the barracks (spring, 1970) at Great Lakes Naval Training Center, IL ... with my guitar. A man's always got to have his guitar with him! Please note the overhead bunks ... one always had to lay low. I ended up with a few knots on my head ... probably still have 'em!
   The picture to the right was taken by a friend of mine entering the main gate at
St. Albans Naval Hospital, NY. For the last six months of my tour, I was the Sgt. of the Guard for my section for base security (spring, 1973). The focal point was my Smith and Wesson Military Special (.38 cal) revolver. It was kind of a Barney Fife pistol ... the bullets were so old, I had my doubts if they would function if need be.
   Yup! I bet you all really felt safe with me at the helm!
NOT!

This photo was taken at Great Lakes NTC during the summer of 1970. One weekend, when I was standing watch, I found a Maryland flag in the storage locker. No other flags ... just MD. Anyway, after modifying my sailor's hat, and holding up a bottle of "torpedo juice", I struck my "Statue of Liberty" pose.
