Hey a fresh start!1! This will allow the old gang to get started posting again. You may not believe this but we are very interested in what you have to say. Great Idea Gaston but if you hold down the right click on the slide and move it down manually it only takes a tenth of a second to get to the bottom.

Injay:

You wouldn't remember me but I knew you when you were a toe head...your dad was my hero and took me from the depths of despair (when I was injured)and offered me hope and I hadn't even entered CG. We met when he was "scouting" the leagues. When I joined an illegal frat I told him and he said I shouldn't do that "with a wink"...He is and was a man's man as I'm sure you are. I hope one day to again shake your hand and to say thanks to the son of a man who really was a big influence in my life. Look at me now---I'm going fishing with some of the biggest BS artists around.

Hi !
Gaston I finally found the message board.I am usally a bit leary about message boards. I had looked at all the pictures though. Talk about memory lane.
I can't wait to see all of you . I am going to stay with Gingie Bennett, my old friend and Tallet sister. She won't be back in town until the 29th, so I am planning to come on the 30th.
It will be fun to catch up! See you then. Betsi

I just want all of my Stags Brothers and sisters that with Kris kimel's help and the brains he inherited from his mother my older son John Paul got accepted to medical school at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. In these times of turmoil and ugliness throughout the world I find it intriguing that a friendship from thirty-six years in the pastwould hopefully make such a difference in my sons life. Kris, I publicly thank you are a good person.
Maybe now he can get married one of Janet's daughters???

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 05/20/2004 11:20:34

John , congratulations to you and Linda on your son's John pAul acceptance to medical school.... In ref to Kris assistance it comes as no surprise to me , I have known Kris and his family since our Jr. High days at So. Miami Jr High,I too was one lucky young boy to have come across the given kindness of the Kimel family...Mr. Kimel, gave me the opportunity to have the chance to be involved in sports at the Gables Youth Center by providing the needed registration fees to allow me to participate, when my parents were not able to do so.......I have been for ever gratefull for what he did and I have never forgoten ....and that was 40 yrs ago...

JOHN CONGRATULATIONS FROM DON H, JIM K, KM,AND MYSELF ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR SON IN A GREAT MEDICAL SCHOOL.HE IS SOMEONE TO BE VERY PROUD OF I'M SURE. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THIS LEAVES A SEAT OPEN IN THE RENOUNED BELIZE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE FOR A BLOND FROM THE "IT'LL DO BAR" IN HOUSTON (OFF TELEGRAPH ROAD)TO BEGIN HER MEDICAL STUDIES AND TO ABSORB THE AMBIANCE OF THE BILTMORE HOTEL.....FOR THIS WE THANK YOU

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 05/21/2004 10:45:54

Terry, you laugh but Belize was one of his options if he did not get in. The good thing about Belize medical school is that they speak English the same as Granada. My suggestion is that we hop an overnight flight to Costa Rica to improve yours and Gastons chances by the pool. From what I have been told about the Belize nightlife??? You better like fishing!!!

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 05/21/2004 12:48:29

BELIZE NIGHT LIFE = CORNER OF DOUGLAS AND BIRD..WHEN I WENT FISHING THERE 8 YEARS AGO I WAS BEAT FROM THE SUN AND ARMS TIRED FROM THE BIG ONE'S (BOY COULD I USE THAT MATERIAL IF POSTED BY SOMEONE ELSE) AS YOU KNOW I'M NO LONGER A LOUNGE LIZARD...SO I'LL TAKE YOU GUYS TO THE AIRPORT IN YOU WANT TO GO TO SJO

Posted at 05/22/2004 09:38:11

Terry I don't get your analogy with Belize nightlife being like the corner of Douglas and Bird??? Other than there is noting there. A few years back there was a bar there that the last name I believe it Used was Uncle Charlie's. Please clarify your statement.

Hey Pam, welcome back, so many of the last year reunion duelers have not posted for a while but we figure they all still read the threads and it only takes a good event to bring them out. I don't know if you have kept in touch with all the postings but the July 4 class of 69 Gables reunion weekend, appears to be gaining some steam. Maybe with you showing your pretty face some of the guys will come out of the woodwork. I don't know if Gaston and I are just a couple of nostalgic romantics or two kids that live in never never land but we are having a ball with this site as you can probably tell. Good to see you back kid, Love Ya. John

My daughters begin at the University of Florida in about a month. Just returned from orientation up there. The whole time I was there I was wishing it was me beginning school! Hi Pam, great to hear from you.

Janet it would certainly be a good one we have to invite George and Ruth for old time sakes? JP is looking at seven more years of school so there is plenty of time, he has just completed six can you imagine??? He got a masters in Cell, Molecular and Development Biology....see you soon. I played golf with Toto on Sunday and we think it would be great to have the next BNO at the Hard Rock Casino on Griffin Road and the turnpike any seconds???

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 05/27/2004 00:12:48

John, my friend, max osceola, (the chief of the seminole tribe) opened that casino. I was there opening night and it is a great place! Perfect for BNO. You can win some money there too. the hotel is beautiful. You should be very proud of your son. i've lived long enough to know that anything can happen in life. who knows? if there is a wedding everyone in stags, including george and ruthie, will be invited. i'll come say hi at the bno at hard rock.

I was descending into Chicago yesterday from Salt Lake City when I recieved a message from United Airlines Flight Operations Dispatch Department. The Co-pilot saw it first and took it off the printer and handed it to me. He was puzzled by the content and could not understand it. The message said "Hi Herb, hope you're doing well. COUNTS is having a reunion October 8-9. Talk to you soon, Jim Hansen."
For those that might not remember, Jim was in COUNTS and graduated in 66 or 67. Jim was a Flight Dispatcher for Eastern Airlines and now is doing the same work with United Airlines. After arriving in Chicago I phoned Jim and volunteered to help find some of their old members. If any of you keep in contact or know how I could reach any of their alumni please let me know.
I think it would be wonderful if they could experience what we had.
BTW Jim was married to Linda Miller. Linda was a Stags Sponser in 1966.

Hanson went to Columbus High School and I think he graduated in 1966. He played football and was one tuff guy. Another Count guy who went to Columbus was Mike O'Brien, He lived on the Key and he was at last I heard still on the Key working at the Beach Club. Tuff guys ! Mike saved my ass more than once. I was a freshman the year he graduated. Ron Folts won't make that
reunion. The one thing I remember about the guys
in Counts was the lack of true brotherhood, but then what the hell would I know having spent H.S.

I was able to spend a portion of my last two weekends with Sam Vizzini in Albuquerque.
I got to meet Sam's wife Pat (Sam was so fortunate to find such a beautiful lady) and talked about old times over dinner with Sam, Pat and Sam's Mom. Mrs. Vizzini hasn't changed a bit. As all of the guys from the mid-60's know, Mrs. Vizzini and Mrs. Ajhar were friends while we were growing up. They kind of lost touch over the years. I gave both of them telephone numbers and now their back in touch again.
Sam is quite consumed with his work and will be through the election. He is looking forward to the next Stags reunion and will definitely attend.
While visiting with Sam I shared pictures and memorabilia from Jr. High School and Gables. He and the family really enjoyed them.
I just wish we could of spent more time together.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Herb, is good that you got to see Sam. He is someone Stags members can be very proud off and admire. Tell him if he needs any help with security down here in Florida Stags in more than willing to help out. After all we have Terry that can organize us with his vast experience in the field. Kidding aside, Sam he is a tribute to our country. Give him my best. PS Tell him he should have been voted cutest in our class instead of Nagel....John

What the hell is a tumbadora?

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 07/24/2004 07:09:42

it's something that my friend and brother (ART) would smoke during a break

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 07/24/2004 06:54:33

Terry,just to clear my Brother Art from being accused of smoking something not legal , I thought I give you some imformation on the "TUMBADORA"

Cuba
Tumbadora- the less common Cuban name for the conga drum, a barrel shaped drum played with bare hands on the thick skins. First made of hardwood staves, it is also made of fiberglass. The name likely comes from an earlier version, the tambor de conga. Although some players use as many as 5 0r 6 drums, the early style (and most common for rumba) is to play on only one drum. The largest is called tumba, the smallest high pitched solo drum the quinto; in between are the conga and segundo. Most often a band musician plays a pair. The main drum for rumba, it entered the bandstand with the son-montuno.
So Terry my Brother , don't forget Art plays the CHELLO.......................

Manny ,glad you asked ....on August 7th 1960...Fidel Castro order the seizure of #26 United States companies doing business in the Island...this was brought on do to the United States cutting the sugar quotas . The dollar value of the nationalization of these companies was in excess of $ 1 billion .

I am impressed,but I still think that TUMBADORA is the cuban name for a BONG.

On another subject, Herb Stebbins turned 55 this past July 23rd (he looks more like 65, but who's counting) lets all send our best whishes to brother Herb. He's trying to outlive his parrot Sugar....; Go for it Herb.

Terry, Sugar is my pet Macaw (large Parrot). Macaws have about 500lbs/sq in. of crushing power in their beeks, half that of a great white shark, so Brother Garcia normally keeps his distance.
Terry, when I set up my retirement plans, two things never factored into the equation. One being Social Security, and the other being any defined pension plan.
In the airline industry, as you know there is way too much competition to fund the plans that have existed over the past 25 years.
Unfortunately the funds at UAL will end up just like the plans at Pan Am.
They will fall in the lap of the PBGC.
It's not a total loss though. There will always be a constant stream of beer money.
Tell your better half that I said hello.

Thanks Janet. It's so great that we can still chat here after so many years. I just happened to come across that picture in 4th grade, (Mrs. Forbes) while going through some material in storage. It's hard to believe that its been so many years ago.
Funny how the memorys last. I can still remember the complete layout of David Farchild Elementary School.
A while back I was riding my motorcycle through our old neighborhood and decided to go by the elementary school. The faculty was nice enough to let me walk through the school. 95% of it is still the same. That really took me back.
We grew up in a neat time.
By the way, that was a joke about coloring my hair. My hair is a natural light brown color. Only a coincidence that it matches the Clairol Light Brown M9 Color.
Terry, if they only new the half of it.
I hope they didn't talk with any of the natives in Guatemala.

We could take Manny, John, and Gaston and hop around the continent introducing them to our old stomping grounds.(I'm sure Scopetta has a few of his own).

I too have gone by there (my parents lived in the same house until 2 years ago)and walked through the halls. Weren't the colors turquoise and pink? wow! i remeber your house only a couple of blocks away. we used to walk to allens drugstore after school to get a cherry coke. Yes, we did grow up in a great time and it is very special that we are still talking!!!!

I don't get it but I am glad you have returned I love your sarcastic humor. If we can only get Cielo to reappear she can match you step for step. Have a great time on Saturday!!!!

Sorry to hear you're not going to make it to the BNO tomorrow it should be lots of fun like always. Can't wait to hear Gaston's stories I am in awe at how much he can recall, heck I can't even remember what I had for lunch today, and I am much younger than him.

I remember when you stole some candy, got caught, and your mom made you go back up and return it( they must have called her on the phone). I hate to admit but allens drug must have had a shoplifting problem between gaston, you and me (i never got caught)!!!! It was so tempting, the whole candy display was right by the front door!!!!

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/08/2004 11:45:30

Marie, you mentioned the YMCA.
Remember as kids how large the "Rock Pit" seemed.
There was the large rock in the center that we called the "Mountain".
There was a stone walk way to it just across the street from my house. It seemed like it was a mile high.
I walked it a few months ago and could not believe how small it really was.
The "Mountain" is still there (maybe 20 feet high).
It took about 5 minutes to walk from the Steve Trescott's old home to the YMCA.
It's funny how magnified our perceptions were as kids.
Janet, Allens is still there.
The soda bar has not changed much.
What memories!
Garcia, she might not have been much to look at but she had a heart of gold. Next time I'm at Brown's Marina I just might have to look her up.
Herb

I had the pleasure of visiting with Kris and having dinner with him and his wife in this great little town outside of Lexington, (see pictures) in pictures of today. He sends you all his best regards.

John, its been quite a while sense I have been back to the North Island, so I only remember the layout.
Back in 1972 I flew for Jim Richardson, the owner of Bimini Yacht Club and Marina.
Back then I would spend every weekend there or in Normans Cay.
I had a flash back about a week ago after watching "Silence of the Lambs".
At the very end of the movie when Anthony Hopkins is telling Jodie Foster that he is having an old friend for dinner, there is a lengthy shot of the main street on North Bimini looking west to east.
I did a double take and played it back.
Sure enough, in the credits they acknowleged the Bahamas for there assistance in making the film.
Herb

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/09/2004 09:56:28

Richardson wasn't he the owner of the hotel in south Bimini??? He saved Arturo Hoyo and I one time when our 23 single IO Scotty Craft broke down between Bimini and Andros Island and we were stranded in Bimini after being towed back. He flew over a mechanic named Tony that had been sent back by Bahamian Customs, after trying to enter via Chalks. I think he had a twin engine Piper that I would see land all the time. We gave him 200 Lobsters that we had poached from the traps while being stranded in the middle of the Bahama Banks.
Kris said to say Hi!!! and I told him we never get to see you any more. He is going to try and make it down this winter. I am planning on going to Keenland, to see the horse racing when it opens in October we should get a group together and go for a day. Is a lovely place!!!!

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/09/2004 10:16:07

Yes John, Jim Richardson owned the Hotel on the South Island. He would give you the shirt off his back, a real great guy to work for. He had 3 Piper Aztecs and a Cessna 337 (Push-Pull AKA "The Doctor Killer").
Jim also owned Opa-Locka Flight Center. I was his Chief Pilot and worked with Joe Claytor and Bill Compton (Cresants).
Those were wild times.
I don't know if you ever came across Joe or Bill but they both should have been in Stags.
Joe is now a Captain with Southwest Airlines an Bill is the retired CEO of TWA.
I better get off my fat ass and get something done on my 2 days off.

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/11/2004 05:42:43

Janet, I sure do.
Also the summer activities at David Farchild were a lot of fun.
I can remember riding my bike over to Tommy Ott's house then both of us would head over to David Farchild for the day.
What a great friend he was.
Have you been back to Gables sense we graduated?
Gaston and I went back and got a tour from Harold Cole (Athletic Directer of CGHS).
They have added on and updated but it's the same school.
What surprised me the most is the relationship between the faculty and the students.
The students have a closer relationship with their teachers then we had. There doesn't seem to be any barriers between them.
It seems to work.
I can only remember having that type of relationship with one teacher. That was Bob Nelson (Stag). During the week he was your teacher and over the weekends he was just one of the guys.
It was great seeing Bob and Sue at the reunion.
Some of the guys that post here will remember the help Bob gave us that very special weekend on Key Biscayne. I'm sure Garcia remembers.

I also forgot to mention the indirecta at Gaston about his age or something like that. Tell us more as your memory exits from the fogs of time.
Sorry Terry but Herb would have been about eight in 58 I don't think he got to see superman and you probably dint see him either since I read somewhere that it was made up for the
Godfather movie and it never really existed. Unless you were looking in the mirror at the Hotel National.

I'm only quoting Herb as earlier he had nicknamed me Superman and I asked why and he said because of that show....I did see a show several times where there were girls, donkey and this black guy named Superman (well endowded)

Gaston and I are correct, Maseo was a mulatto revolutionary that led the Cuban revels to victory against Spain at the turn of the century with a little help from Teddy and the US Marines. Terry as I thought, You are Superman!!! we always suspected it but could never prove it. We love you my good friend. Check out the word Jamonero in Cuban dialect.

For the first time I detect some computer fraud...there is a listing today 8/12 under my name Terrence W. Grant that says Herb nicknamed me Superman...he did do that back in 2003 but I didn't do the listing of today....whoever is handling my Public Relations it is appreciated but now I have to live up to my image which is impossible unless of course I can locate "George of Belize" doctor friend.

I don't know if the "Superman" story from Havana is true or not but the story has been around since way before the "Godfather" movie. I first heard the "Superman" tale around 1956 or 1957.

I am having more trouble understanding the writing of the brothers from Cuba than their speech...
Is it "wrote a White Horse (a book)" or "rode a white horse (an animal)"? I'll have to remember to have one of you guys explain this to me at the next BNO.

Thank you John for being our official HISTORIAN...also if you note one of our brothers wrote White Hoarse...which of course could be a medical condition...and most of them have a condition called....bullshittossis...

Isn't it good that we have "the ole guys" around to set the facts straight...does anyone remember the ferry boat to Havana back in the 50's? How about Cubana Airlines where every pilot was a jockey and wore 50 mission hats and tended to bounce a few times on landing.

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/13/2004 10:07:35

To clarify the statement once and far all there is no f..king white horse is a joke like what color was George Washington's white horse and some people can't figure it out. We use Maceo since he also rode a white horse when we ask the question.
There was no live sex act's in Cuba that I can assure you there was everything else but no live sex acts.
The superman story is a mith and only that. Probably created after one to many Cuba Libres in the streets of Havana in the 1950s.
The main reason you can't understand our jokes is because they are insider stories that happened in the late sixties and you guys were not there. The last time I looked this is the late sixties thread correct???

Terry, a Ham can be many thing depending how it is placed in ones usage of the word in a sentence or matter of speech ...(1)"Ham" The thigh of the hind leg of a certain animal specially a "hog"...(2)A licensed amateur radio operator....(3)A performer who overacts or exaggerates.....John is none of those......Now a "Jamonero" is a widely used term by Cubans ,in describing a person who takes it upon himself to get a free feel when given the opportunity to grab , touch or feel with certain gusto the body or any part of the opposite sex and getting away with it and not get into trouble.....for that, many of us , could qualify for being consider Jamoneros....

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/13/2004 06:09:49

Gaston:

You hit the nail right on the head, Herb is a JAMONERO, he got an elegal feel in the Bahamas and messed around with someones dinner, except it was not a hog;(I'll give him that much).

Jackie; you're still confused about the white horse, it was not Maseo or Washington that rode the horse, it was SUPERMAN as he satepped out on stage "at the Copa, Copa Cabana The Hottest Club Down In Havana", and the women would come out behind the horse in a single file, and help SUPERMAN off the WHITE HORSE, and then they would do all kinds of nasty things on satge; (not to the WHITE HORSE of course...of course!!!) So please let the WHITE HORSE GO.

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/13/2004 11:27:49

I give up on the stinking white horse, I am hoarse from talking about the f..kin horse. And yes confused as I can be. Manuelito what did poor Herb do to this Bahama mama that has remained in you're feeble little mind all this time. We are all brothers here let's hear the 411 on the subject. Gaston that is an excellent description of Jamonero, could it not be used to describe the governor of California??? The Tropicana was a Las Vegas style review more like the Sigfield and Roy show. I don't believe the Cuban Mothers would allow the showing of live sex act's on the stage even if it was tourist only. Many when are you going to get permission o go fishing with us???

Jackie:

I can go fishing any time, as long as it is in the US. I will be taking care of the WHITE HORSE for the next few days. Let's play Golf.
I'll be busy for the next few days, my son blew out his right knee on the first day of practice and we're waiting for the MRI results. It's either a partial patelar dislocation or torn ACL, both of which will require surgury, we're hoping it's just a bad sprain.

John S, refresh my memory. Why didn't Arturo Hoyo get in Stags? He was liked by everyone.
Lets make sure he's at the next event.
When you see him again please tell him that I said hello.
Gaston, wasn't Arturo in Tikes with us at SMJHS?

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

His parents were not in favor or maybe it was his girlfriend Karen Anthony that he went with for many years??? Unlike the rest of us he actually considered his parents wishes. Good kid. One of the closes friends I have ever had.

Kay, I have no idea what the Hell Nights were like when you graduated, but I have fond memories of mine.
I doubt that anyone in there 50's could tolerate the abuse without suffering life altering consequences.
I do remember the morning after when I got up. I went to the bathroom to view the damage. It was ugly but worth it.
I'll never forget the pride and happiness I felt the following day.
The great friendships and memories will last for ever.

For all the right reasons. I never attended a Hell Night but from what I heard they were no picnic and in some instances stupidly dangerous. I'll let the guys elaborate on the subject.

I think it will largely depend on the evolution of the relationships that are leading the re emergence of Stags Club. The organization had been Idle for thirty some years and with the wisdom and curiosity of some senior members of the group it has come back to life after thirty dormant years to allow for it to slip in to obscurity would be a real shame in my opinion. I for one would be proud to see it continue through the ages as something really special and meaningful to so many.

I vote for the WHITE HORSE, he should be an honorary member, that way Jackie can get to know him. Herbs Bahama Mama should also be considered, let me know what you guys think.

Re: Class of 66-70's (Phase II)

Posted at 08/29/2004 03:37:44

Manny I agree with the White Horse and John and if you saw or heard about the act...the horse also had a very small but passive role...as far as hell night is concerned...the MEN of the 50's had it just as tough as the BOYS of the 60's and 70's..we just didnt brag or complain about it....remember back then we were in transistion from TDT to Stags and had to keep a very very low profile about Hell night. By the way a fore arm pick both front and back at the same time was the same in the 50's as the 60's, same as licks, or strenght of tabasco sauce, cow manure.

I'm against new members as it was very special to go thru the pledging process and the true meaning of brothhood at the time and at present....instead of getting new members the guys should get to know brothers of different ages..I'm really glad that I've had the chance to get to know Gaston, John S, and Steve B...this was done by attending the different outings

Janetsita, good luck with Frances hope everything turns out well I think is going north of you but you might still get some pretty strong winds. This whole thing with the Hurricanes has been incredible, and they keep coming off the coast of Africa like there was no tomorrow.
Gaston you got your own storm how did you manage that??? I have always wanted a John or a Jackie but nothing. Maybe we can get a tropical storm Manny or Herby.
When is the next BNO? I am still pushing for the Hard Rock Cafe at the Casino, or the bar that Larry suggested in the center of the casino.
