Write something what have you been up to these past 50 years?
After graduation, I attended and graduated from The Citadel in Charleston, SC, Class of 1976. For the next four years, I was a rowing bum, eventually goint to the 1980 trials (yeah, the games Jimmy Carter boycotted) with Ralph Bateman in the boat. (Ralph later dropped about 20 pounds and made the US lightweight 8 ). I then moved to Atlanta and attended law school at night while working for a large firm during the day. I passed the Georgia bar on my first shot prior to completing my course work. I continued rowing until I just burned out at age 60. In 1997, my daughter, Melissa came into my life and not only graduated cum laude (by 1/1000ths of a point) from UGA with a major in International Affairs and a minor in German, but is now in her last semester of law school at Georgia State. (I tried to convince her that there were good jobs in retail, but both her mother and I are lawyers, so she never had a positive role model!) I am now married to a wonderful woman from extreme SW Georgia and 15 months from retirement. My plan is to move to Ireland, coach rowing and die around the age of 95.

Write something what have you been up to these past 50 years?
Started exploring instrument building after high school, did that through college. Worked at the North Florida Evaluation and Treatment center when it first opened in G'ville, FL. Tough clientele, psychotics, sex offenders and behavior disorders so burnt out in less than two years. Returned to instrument building (dulcimers, hammered dulcimers, gourd banjos, bowed psalteries) and performing original and American/British Isle folk music with my group "No Commercial Appeal." (Our name proved prophetic!) Formed "Unicorn Strings Instrument Co." with my friends Gene & Jessica Jaeger and traveled the Renaissance fair circuit for 8 years selling bowed psalteries. Sold the company and pursued a spiritual quest for a couple of decades via eastern and western traditions, yoga, meditation, fire walking - you name it. (The poster child of the ADHD of spiritual paths.) Now consider myself a "recovering supernaturalist." Married three times. Suwonneh Wood during "No Commercial Appeal" days. Kayt Kennedy during my spiritual questing period. With Julie Johnson - a kindergarten teacher and educator extraordinaire for the last 32 years. We live on Little Lake Swan in Melrose FL with our dog Maya. I went through a boat designing and building period - mostly Florida Sharpie style sailing skiffs. (www.simplicityboats.com)During covid I've been studying songwriting with Eliza Gilkysen and John Gorka via zoom. ( I have a handful of CDs on my website www.davidbeede.com )

At age 19, following some Woody Gurthrie dreams I fell off a freight train and broke my back in Ogden Utah. Opened for Don McLean in the 80s. Jammed with Pete Seeger for a few nanoseconds. (One of my "Just shoot me, my life is complete moments.)

Memories of class of 72 Alumni Reunion Do you remember? Park Ave Elementary Brookshire Elementary Glen Ridge Middle A locomotive and passenger car made a daily trip from Orlando to Winter Park. The train was named Coffee and Tea. As the auto industry increased, the Dinky Railroad profits dropped. The rails were removed in 1964 The Colony movie theatre once offered on Tuesday mornings, bring in 6 R C bottle caps and get a free movie pass. Park Ave Elementary is located on the current site of the SunTrust Plaza. The designer and contractor of the school are unknown. In 1963 Rollins College purchased the large, brick-structured building from the Orange County School District for $350,000. The National Registry of historic places has listed downtown Winter Park on the official list of the nation’s most historic areas worthy of preservation. The soccer crown was awarded to Winter Park High during the 1971 Championship game on a Saturday afternoon. It took four regulation quarters, two overtimes and 8 sudden deaths to do it. Winter Park finally won the Central Florida High School Championship Soccer with a score of one to zero. Winter Park sink hole swallowed up a home, a car dealer and public swimming pool. You could rent a row boat or motor boat to fish at Lake Osceola, named after the great Indian Chief. This is the same lake where the Scenic Boat tour boats are docked Peacocks roamed the streets of Genius Drive. Someone used a an bow and arrow and shot a peacock. Learned how to drive a manual speed Simca. After a few tries jerking and stalling, with a Cadillac behind us, we made it across Lakemont.

After graduating from Winter Park high I lived at home for years with my mother and grandmother while I went to Rollins. From there I went to grad school in wildlife biology at the University of Michigan. By chance I landed a job at the Cincinnati zoo where I have pretty much spent my entire adult life. It is a good fit, and good work, so I will probably stick with it a few more years before I move on. In 1977 I married my college girlfriend , Kathleen, and we raised three terrific daughters who have been unceasingly kind to their father all the way along. I think that hits the highlights of my last 50 years.

I was a transplant to WP from Boone in 1970-71 school year. I knew very few and felt out of place. That said, the last 50 years have been good. I spent 22.5 years in the USCG and served at units on both coasts and San Juan, PR. I retired as a CWO2 in 1995 and live in Edgewood, WA with my wife of 35 years. I have two sons and one grandson that live in Orlando. We bought our current home in December 1999. Built in 1967, it needed a lot of upgrading. Working together, we renovated 2.5 bathrooms, our kitchen, replaced 16 windows and resided the exterior. I fully retired 4 years ago and volunteer one day / week with Habitat for Humanity.

Many. Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". Though lately, any children's song our 3 1/2-year-old granddaughter dances to!
Write something what have you been up to these past 50 years?
Freshman year at UF and finished at FTU. In December 1974, I married Bob Glotfelty. He was my date for the WPHS senior prom, though I met him through JA's national conference - he was from Lakeland. We're in the 48th year together. We have a son and a daughter who delighted us as children and are good people and great company as adults. They have good judgment, shown especially in their choice of wonderful partners. And as of 2018 when we became grandparents, they've also proven to be truly wonderful parents, aunt, and uncle. Had we done nothing else in these five decades, we'd still be more than happy! Cooperative Ed jobs during undergrad led to my 36-year career with the federal government. Field: procurement and contracting, mostly major systems acquisitions (planes, ships, missiles, space systems). Moved to the DC area for one of those jobs and stayed, just changing my commute to go to work for the Navy (Crystal City), OMB (in DC), Air Force (then Andrews AFB), and OSD (the Pentagon). Interesting, challenging, often a bit too intense. Fabulous last 6 years at an international desk that provided opportunities to work with counterparts in many countries and travel. Even Finland in February was great! I know how lucky I was to be able to retire and have the freedom to explore and do things I'd never had time for. At a friend's suggestion, I took a Master Gardener course and to my surprise found I loved the learning about the natural world, plants, eco-friendly design, and the people who are into it all. So I became an avid gardener and volunteer. My bigger interest and calling became teaching English to adults. Started an English Conversation Group at our library in 2010, and we still meet each Tuesday evening. A few hundred people have participated for various lengths of time. I've learned from and been awed and humbled by them, and some have become good friends. I've also taught classes and tutored for the Literacy Council. And because of working so closely with immigrants, I volunteered as a Family Mentor for a refugee family. These things are dear to my heart and give me great satisfaction. So it's been a wonderful life. Challenges, yes, but wonderful. I made it to our 10th, 20th, and 40th Reunions, but will miss this one. I wish you all a great time and hope to see you at the next one! Note: We don't post photos of our grandkids so I can't share the BEST family pics....

This will all be so fun and surreal I’m looking forward to seeing Everybody! But if any of my old friends weigh even more than me now, I would most like to be with them.

Write something what have you been up to these past 50 years?
Graduated from Furman University with Business degree. Played baseball there. Became a Believer (Christian) at 26. Met and married my wife, Anita, at 32. Have 3 great “kids”, 2 sons and daughter 29 to 33 years old. First granddaughter born last month, next granddaughter coming next month. Have spent last forty years as commercial real estate broker, but over these last 6 years have mostly jumped on Anita’s bandwagon of her 20 year old business (Lifetime Transitions) helping seniors downsize and relocate into senior communities. If you want help feeling younger, find a business or volunteer where your clients’ average ages are well into their 80’s! Mostly sweet, appreciative people. Like helping your parents/grandparents for a living. It’s been a great way to finish off our careers.

Randomly traveled with Duke Marsh for a couple of months after college. Great time. Looking back, that was the break between "school days" and my shaky start into adulthood. Still can't believe I lost the pictures but maybe that's not all bad.

Continuing working with old people for the next 2 years and then hanging out with young people… grandkids!

I have been so very fortunate! I have two wonderful grown sons. My older one is an avid cyclist working for a maker of cycling training equipment in Atlanta, and my younger one is a medical resident at Duke. Both have wonderful girlfriends but no weddings or grandchildren yet. In my working life, I was fortunate to have two jobs that I loved, both in philanthropy. I led a foundation in North Carolina for 23 years, and then worked in international philanthropy for another 12 years. The latter position gave me the opportunity to move back to Central Florida, and I am now happily living on the shores of Lake Maitland with great views of sunrises, moonrises, and space shots.

What are your plans for the future?
I love this phase of my life. The things I enjoy most about retirement are being able to say "yes" to whatever needs or opportunities arise, and being able to pursue whatever interests me without having to "get back to work." I am blessed with a diverse group of friends with all kinds of interests, and I look forward to whatever adventures lie ahead.

I graduated from UCF (FTU at the time) with a degree in business and then my husband and I opened a Harley Davidson motorcycle dealership in partnership with his Dad. After we sold it in the 80s, I started teaching business at Boone High School. I earned a masters degree from UCF and then went to USF for a doctorate. Never in a million years did I think I would be an educator, but fell in love with the profession and career and technical education. I spent the last 12 years as the Executive Director of Lake Technical College in Lake County before retiring in September of 2021. Those 12 years were the best of my professional life. We have two children and two grandchildren. Our son lives in Annapolis with his family and is an attorney. Our daughter lives in Asheville with her significant other and works at Mars Hill University counseling first generation college students. It is hard to believe it has been 50 years since high school!
