To my fellow Terriers of the Class of 86... and any Terriers of other classes that want to attend....especially 84, 85, 87.... Here is the planned schedule of events for the Class of 1986, 30th Reunion:
Sept. 30 (Friday) 7pm-10pm---HHS Homecoming football game against Chamberlain ($5 admission to game). They are also calling it the BLACKOUT game, so they want everyone to wear Black. Check in with me at the ALUMNI table once you come into the dogpound for some Terrier beads. Please sit in alumni area where you will see banners and balloons, so it will be easier to find each other for fun prop photos since it will be a packed game. (FYI...the classes of 1996 & 2006 will also be at this game celebrating their reunions as well)... After the game, ABC Pizza, is an option for those that want to go.
Oct. 1 (Saturday) 7pm until ? ---Meet & Mingle at Jackson's on Harbour Island. Meet at the outside bar area. Pay your own drinks and meals on your own dime. Jackson's will validate your parking pass for the first 2 hours. I suggest arriving before 10pm since Jackson's gets really packed.
Oct. 2 (Sunday) 1pm until ? --- Meet at Curtis Hixon Riverwalk area by the Children's Museum (there is parking available by the hour at the Poe garage if you can't find parking on the street). Bring a blanket and pack a picnic then enjoy the beautiful area of Downtown Tampa. Go for a stroll down Riverwalk, by foot or rent a bike. If you want to have some food and drinks, then walk down near the convention center to the THE SAIL pavilion on the water. If you stick around the park till 6pm there's free yoga. Lots of fun stuff to do for the day with classmates!
I hope many of you will come to all or at least one of the gatherings. I look forward to seeing my fellow Terriers. Please spread the word to others that may not be on my email distribution or that are not on facebook. Go HERE for our Facebook page.
GO BIG RED!!!

Hey Karl,
Glad you are out of Iraq now. Ok, I'm proud of you (and others) who serve there (and in Afghanistan and Pakistan, etc), I know how important it is.. but I am still glad you are back home. Are you still serving as a police officer? Not that that is much safer than the military! I got evac'ed with my out of Islamabad in '02 and everyone was so relieved for us.. asking if I was happy to be 'safe' at home. They didn't get it that I did NOT feel safer... we got back in time for the DC sniper incidents, and then there's the whole driving on the beltway nonsense too!
I kinda envy you in PA. We miss having seasons! Maybe after the first time back when we get iced in and have to dig our truck out after being buried by snowplows, I'll change my tune, but we have yet to break out the sweaters. I miss Florida, and we have managed to take the kids there a couple times now, but I no longer have family down there. Home is where your family is :-)
Well, our weekend is going to be a busy one... started tonight with a dinner party and it's just ramping up, we have breakfast with Santa early in the morning and so I best sign off and get some sleep. Talk to you later!
Hi Karl,
Great to hear from you. I was up that way about three years ago in DC. The snow is pretty when it falls but messy when it melts. Thank you for serving too. I didn't go to Iraq, thank God. But I did have a few friend that went and came back in tact, physically... Don't know how they are doing mentally. I did get to see Fred and that was a wonderful welcome. It is not often that someone you went to high school with is in the same place you are miles away. I did see William Thompson in Korea twice. That was special. LOL. Anyway, take care and keep in touch.
