| Jerry Bertsch Cecilia and I are unable to travel any long distance any more. We just had too much fun in our younger years. Our health has been going down-hill for 6 or 7 years and the last two years the bottom fell out; acute renal failure (kidney failure) was good for 7 days and nights (5 days in a coma) in the VA medical center. A long trip for us now is the 30 minutes and 10 miles to my sons house. My wife has balance issues, eye sight and hearing problems among other things so she does not drive anymore, but she sure can tell me where to go! In fact I never go any where without her. From Sharon Stanley Marasco I retired from Orange County Public Schools in June after teaching forty one years. For the last twenty two years, I was right here at Colonial High School. Living now in Ocala.... From Bill Lockaby I retired from the Orange County Sheriff as of 1/1/09. I'm divorced and have a beautiful 11 year old daughter, Alexis, who is the love of my life. I coach Pop Warner football at Harmony and am VP of the league. I also coach Alexis' St. Cloud Little League softball team. I live on 2.5 acres in St Cloud and take care of my two horses. From Dianna Belue Lloyd Life in Gainesville is still wonderful. Mark and I have been married 40 years, have 2 children and 5 grands. All of us live in Gator Country! Mark continues to see patients, and I continue to do whatever it is I do. From Cheryl Wilson Tall Hi to everyone from sunny Southern California.
