More Classmates to be proud of

The bio forms that are coming in--telling what our classmates have been up to for the past 50 years--are loaded with things to brag about.

Here are some more examples:

Terry Reichelderfer (she was the only person I ever knew with that last name) married Eddie Stinson. Before they moved to Dunnellon, FL about three years ago, Terry worked for 26.5 years in the office of the Pinellas County Clerk of Court. She retired as a department manager after 20 years in that position. She and Eddie have a son, Mark, who is married and the father of grandson Scott Stinson. Scott is stationed in the U.S. Army in Mannheim, Germany.,

Eddie served for 26 years as a firefighter/paramedic for the Clearwater Fire Department. He also owned a lawn care/landscaping business for 20 years. One of the life achievements that Eddie lists is "having worked in a profession that allowed me to help people and save lives, especially babies and children." His hobbies include fishing/hunting and taxidermy.

Pat Smith, who married Frank Kapocsi, lives in Lakeland, FL. She was a member of the Toast of Tampa Show Chorus for 30 years. She has gone the gamut in volunteer work: Little League scorekeeper, Vacation Bible School teacher; president of the Flower Garden Club in Marietta, GA, and a hospice patient volunteer. She was executive secretary at General Telephone Co., as well as at Dale Mabry Elementary School and Citrus High School.

Frank retired from Public Super Markets as Business Development Director over the Meat and Seafood Departments. He received the George W. Jenkins award for excellence in leadership, fairness, and integrity. He and Pat have a daughter and a son, plus four grandchildren, plus four great-grandchildren. (How did that happen when Frank and Pat are so young???)
