Hollywood Connections

Bob Franklin (Class of 1966) Michael Keaton (left) and Rick Springfield (right) sure resemble Bob, don't you think?

Kathy Chenoweth Huber (Class of 1968) How could we pass up Kathy and Shirley Dimple... I mean Shirley Temple.

Disco Daze Let's get into Mr. Peabody's "way back" machine... 1975: Leaving Little Tavern in Wheaton, MD, with a bag-o-burgers (LT was just like Royal Castle). Please note the longer-than-in-my-yearbook hair" and Dinty Moore beard. Perhaps munchies may have been involved here judging by the sunglasses and the smile on my face.                  The Nat'l GarvOOn

Chuck Hill (Class of 1969) Chuck is seen here as a starting, strapping, 160-lb., offensive and defensive tackle for the mighty Boca Bobcats team during the 1968 school year. Talk about throwing everything you have into it! LOOK! He can fly!

Notes from Vickie Hewey Stamport's 1968 Yearbook

Vickie Hewey Stamport (class of 1968) is sharing some of the notes from her yearbook with us. They're from (top Left) Russ McCall, (top right) Rick Vranizan, (lower left) Terry Nagy, and (lower right) Pat (Sandy) Madden. I see there is a common theme amongst the writings ... perhaps we should dub her The Wild One! Thanks Vickie!

Well, don't that beat all!    No kidding! The Florida Scholastic Hockey League exists in Florida.    Boca High and Spanish River High are in the program. Where were they when I was going to high school down there? Touch the logo to the left and you will be propelled to their site. You can track down Boca High's standings.    Note: Many of you all know by now that I'm an avid hockey player/freak, but I did coach in the Maryland Scholastic Hockey League for four years from 1994-1997 (Hammond HS Bears). The FSHL lists us in their directory along with Georgia and Long Island. Small world, huh?

This is Boca Elementary today. Diane King snapped this photo recently. She said Boca El was the oldest school in Palm Beach County. The gym remains because it has been named a historical building. Construction of the new school starts soon. Students will be placed in other local schools until construction has been completed.
