Walt Whitman
High School
Class of 1969
What's New
Ross was an active participant in our Freshman English class where Mr. R encouraged us to share our thoughts. While not close friends, we frequently talked to each before and after class. Ross was a likeable, easy going people person. It is comforting to learn, from his obituary, how he lead such a rich life as a teacher, coach mentor, family man, friend of animals and active church member.
I look foreward to seeing you again, Ross, at the great Whitman reunion in the Sky.
It's so sad that it took this long for the news to reach us. So many of us remember Ross from our classes since Bradley days. Sending (belated) comfort to his friends and loved ones.
Happy birthday, Lisa!!! And best wishes for a wonderful year ahead!!!

Bragging a bit here. Our granddaughter, Devinn, pictured in orange scrubs here, was named Physicians Assistant of the Year for all of Orlando Health across Central Florida. She has been at Winnie Palmer Hospital, working in pediatric surgery, for a year and half. We couldn't be more proud of this super accomplished young woman.

Happy Birthday Barbara !!!
Happy Birthday, Cheri

Dear Deb,
I read your article. It was very heartfelt but misplaced. The people of a sovereign nation attached another nation, took civilian captives, continues to launch missiles into Israel and the world sympathizes with the attackers. Where is the outrage of the rape of Jewish women?
The issue you bring up fails to acknowledge that the Palestinians have never accepted the existence of a Jewish state, nor have the surrounding Islamic countries. What rights do Jews have in any of these countries? I have lived in Israel and provided medical care to all people in the region, without regard to any feature other than them being people.
Was there outrage at attacking the axis in WW2? Wars are horrible idiotic events in the history of mankind. No country does more to protect civilians in war than Israel. Hamas and Hizbalah purposefully place military places within civilian locals. Where is the world outrage at what Hamas has done to its own people, who elected them?
Anybody know where the plaque was installed? Maybe get a wider shot of the current location ?
Happy Birthday !!!
