  It is with regrets that I advise you of the passing of Coach Roger A. Tavenner, who coached our wrestling team starting in 1965 and for years thereafter. Services will be held in Fort Lauderdale and information obtained in his obituary in FLL Sun-Sentinel of 6/5/13. He will be missed by his many friends.

  By now I know most of you have heard about the tragic situation in Oklahoma. Our prayers go out to those who were placed in harms way...especially our classmates. God Bless all of them.

  Mr. Prez, your generous contribution to SHS I am sure is greatly appreciated by the school and most assuredly appreciated by all of your classmates. Your suggestion for the 50th Reunion is an excellent one. Jean, Graham and I will certainly include that in the plans and get with you on it for your indepth ideas. SHS is decisively changed since our day but then it would be, however, we should do our best to help in any area any of us can. Perhaps there are others like Maureen who have resources they could donate that would be beneficial to SHS. In light, again, of the recent issues that occured this week, we all need to be more aware but also more protective of what is dear and important to us as a whole. Will get with you soon, Prez...catch you on Facebook as often as I can. Take care,my best to you both.

  Dear Jim and Sandy, thank you for your generosity to Stranahan which I am sure the school greatly appreciated. Your new ideas are good ones for the Class of 65's continued connectivity and contributions to Stranahan. Thank you for the information that Stranahan is a magnet school for science. (I have some rare resource materials to contribute to Stranahan's archives.)

I am sorry to hear about your beloved mother's passing. She lived a long life, well beyond most. Peace and Love.

  Hello 65ers! About a month ago I was in Ft. Lauderdale for a board meeting and decided to visit Stranahan. Had a delightful two hour tour with the Vice-principal, Dr. Bernadine Dorantes. She is a whirlwind, giving simple prods and compliments to students at the same time discussing the complexities of current educational policies. Physically, the school is not so very different than it was,ahem, 50 years ago. The big change was the student population. It is 80+% black and Hispanic. It is also a magnet school for the sciences, if I understand correctly. We visited many classrooms and the intellectual activity was active, focused and attentive. Students come from much farther away (many from what we thought of as the western swamps!). The rebuild of the school is on hold, a victim of the recession which happened as the plans were congealing.

Students are hard pressed to meet some of the increased and unsupported costs. Sandy and I made a donation to the band uniforms and scholarships--which brings me to my idea. Why don't we plan a class gift to the school as part of our 50th Reunion? I am open to any of a number of support ideas and of course we could even ask them what might help the most.
Second, why don't we plan the event during the school year and try to have a reunion tour of the school? Consider a fall reunion where we visit the school on a Friday, attend a whomping of the Flying Ls that night, and then party the rest of the weekend.

On a sadder note, I want to report the death of my mother last September. Many of you knew her through my father's church. A long slow Alzheimers progression, but still knew me at 90. I expect many of you have started the goodbye process to the "Greatest Generation".
Best wishes, dear friends. Jim
