About Me:

I come from a family line of Terriers beginning with my mother Rosa Baltar Ayo (1941). Also my brothers Joe (1962), Ralph (1964) and sister Maria Ayo Wilson (1966). Too many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces & nephews to mention as well. I married into a Terrier family as well. Mary Williams (HHS 1973) and I have been married for more than 35 years. She has 5 sisters who all graduated from HHS beginning in 1956. We have three grown children (Bobby, Andy & Johnny). All three of our sons graduated from Chamberlain and immediately joined the US Marines. Andy and Johnny both are still active duty and have made numerous tours to the mideast. We are blessed with 11 Grandchildren, 9 girls & 2 boys. After 30 years, I Retired from GTE\Verizon in 2001. Since then I've been employed with Home Depot as an Inventory Associate. I am a Christian and sing in a southern gospel men's quartet known as 4Glory. In 2007 I was invited by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to sing our National Anthem at one of their games. Since then, I've been invited back on several occasions. While my passion is singing, my hobbies include genealogy and keeping track of my fellow classmates. Sometime within the next ten years traveling will be a high priority!

    Hey Robert,

    Sorry, I just noticed your comment. No, it is a photo from 2004, but one of my favorite, and I felt a good one to represent my later years. I am 62 in that photo. It is at Desmond's graduation.

    We are going to have a moment of silence for our deceased classmates.

    Could you bring a list from your year to read?

    Robert,

    Who's the distinguished gentleman in the photo?  :)

    Hey, Rrobert. Brian Benjamin here. Thax for keeping me in the HHS 71 loop. I want to connect w/some folks that I love and care about and was wandering if you can reach out to Debbie Bearden or David Bearden, David Giglia, Susan Mason and so many others. Do you stay in touch w/Randy Guzman?

     

    I hope you and your family are well and I look forward to seeing you and catching up. Great job on your dedidicated work on behalf of the HHS ALumni. We have tradition at Hillsborough and I am proud to have been privileged to be a part of.

     

    All the best always,

    BB

    Hey, Robert.  I'm writing you concerning the 1971 Reunion that has invited the classes of 70 & 72 to join in the fun.  Gordon Hewlette told me the other day that if the wife and I didn't want to eat dinner but attend the get-together from 7:30pm till 11:30pm, the cost would only be $20 apiece.  Does this include the memory book and photo?  Please let me know as we would like to attend but just had to shell out $1000 to fix the transmission in my truck and are strapped for funds.  Thanks in advance for your help.
