Memories: My best memories are the friendships that have lasted throughout all these years. And you said it right,
Fab, I wish I knew then what I knew now! I love going back to visit family in Ridgway - the area is so beautiful. It's something that you take for granted when you live there.

We will not go down memory lane for computer security reasons. Do you know that Marty has his own agenda for this data bank?

wonderful memories of our days together in high school, beginning with the
bus trips we took shuttling between the high school and Centennial School
in 7th grade...Hangin' out with the Girls from "Dewey Square"...Seniora
Kliendienst..."Turn it off!"...ALWAYS copying Jane Manno's
homework - ALWAYS!!!...Chip's infamous quote "Yep, shiny as a
nickel"...Being elevated by Jimbo Vantine in homeroom (whoa!)...hangin'
out at the Y...Mr. Olsen's class (alternative learning for sure)...Gapa's
jeep, camp, front porch...THE SHACK...Betty Mulcahy!...Biology with "Zuch"...Blob
maps with Mr. Phillips...Ernie's class and the Rube Goldberg
machines...Chemistry...putting Potasium in the water trough...Avagadro's
Number...that smell in the wrestling room...hangin' out at the radiators
in the morning...Rewrites in Miss Dean's class...some of the shenanigans
we pulled in our last couple of years...i.e., getting Peggy Morelli to
give us an open ended pass to play ping pong over in the Annex, every
day!!!...every day Mod 3 was always spent with Jimmy Urmann in his
brother's Monza on our way up to my parents house to skip class and each
day we would wave to his Aunt as we past her on the RailRoad tracks!

Would really like to see greater participation on this site for

Email: jillygolden@hotmail.com
Spouse's name: Randy
Living in: Ridgway, PA
Work: newspaper editor (Daily Press in St. Marys)
Kids: two stepdaughters
Grandkids:
a grandson (yes, really)
Interests:
People ask me all the time why I came back after college. Why would I leave?
I found a challenging career (newspaper reporter), a terrific husband (we've been together almost 15 years), and a more challenging career (newspaper
editor) all within the confines of Elk County. I've made many new friends, but love reconnecting with the old ones. We've
traveled quite a bit, to the 'big' cities, and it's alwayS refreshing to come home to our mountains and our main street. In
my spare time, I have taken to custom-designing front page newspapers for people. Photography is another sideline — I work
in black & white film and refuse to be pulled into the digital age. My husband and I also have the luxury of spending time
with family since many still reside relatively close. We are now enjoying our 7-month old German Shepherd puppy...everyone
needs a puppy in their life! Anyway, at this stage of the game, I'm right where I want to be, and I hope everyone else is
experiencing that, too.
Memories: Thank you, reunion committee, for a first-class 25th! As far-flung as some of our classmates are, it's amazing to
me how we can pick up where we left off like it was only yesterday...
Other: Thanks, Marty - what a great idea!

enjoyed living in P-burgh, Houston, Boston, and now L.A. making new friends and living life to it's fullest.
Memories:
Delores Dean, Mrs. Kliendenst, Ernie Koos, and Mr. Grimm are still the teachers I remember having an
influence (mostly positive) on my young mush brain. Of course, Mike Dominic,
Jumpin' Jim Akers, and John Wiley having an influence from the athletic side instilling
competitiveness and teamwork. I remember days, or mainly nights, at Gappa's camp drinking beer playing cards, and generally living a laidback life, one
day at a time. And remembering back now I see that Marty was the instigator of most of the BS we pulled all through high
school. (thanks Mart).

Memories: Lots of good memories of RHS but still can't figure
out the f machine of Mr. Allenbaugh. Hanging Mark Wright from a rope to
paint the rock was a good one while Mr. Koos was checking us out through
his telescope. The football party at Quattrones camp is still a little

Spouse's name: Donna
Living in: Littleton,
MA
Work: I am a woodworker for Deckhouse, Inc.
I make mahogany doors for our custom-designed houses.
Check it out at http://www.deckhouse.com.
Kids: 2 kids. Ryan
who is 19, going to community college for criminal justice.
Breanna, who is 13, in 7th grade.
Grandkids: GRANDKIDS!!!???
Interests: Fishing, shooting, and music.
The fishing is mostly in streams and small rivers for trout, but I
occasionally get out on a pond or lake in the boat as well.
Shooting so far has been limited to a .22 semi-auto with a 4x scope
at about 50 yards (plinking, basically).
But I'm in the process of trying to get my handgun license for
Mass. (very difficult).
If I do, I'll be looking into shooting metallic silhouettes with a
big-bore handgun, starting with local competition.
Music, sweet music. One
thing I DON'T do is listen to the radio.
Just can't stand the commercials.
Mostly folk and folk-rock (if anyone can put music in a category
anymore). Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin, Rebecca Cole, Bert Jansch,
Erica Smith, Carrie Newcomber, Patty Larkin, Max Creek (band), etc.
Memories: It was half-time at the Curwensville (I think)
game. We were losing and the
coaches were pissed. Coach
Dominick got right in my face and screamed "MURPHY! IF YOU
CAN'T BEAT THAT LITTLE PISSANT THAT'S GUARDING YOU---YOU DON'T HAVE A HAIR
ON YOUR NUT!!" I'll
never forget that as long as I live. There
are other, better memories, mostly having to do with drugged-up boozed-up
times, I don't know if sharing them is politically correct anymore.
I do have plenty of good memories, but nothing extraordinary,
probably not interesting to others.
News: Kurt Hughes is alive and well and living in
Freeport, Maine. He remains
my closest friend and I am in contact with him constantly. Anyone wishing to contact him can e-mail me.
Other: I really appreciate those responsible for keeping
up the site. The chat-room
looks interesting, although I've never participated in one before.
If I do decide to join in, I'll try and wait 'till I have something
relevant to say so I won't be piling on.

to do the whole 154 miles sometime (but take many days doing it). I'm not that much of a nut! We
also enjoy kayaking and camping. We try and combine all 3 for our vacations.
Memories:
Marching with the band (rifle). Cheating in Spanish class - remember that Marty. We
used to "help" each other on our tests. Neither of us must have been that good though because I
always squeaked by with a C. Only 3 hrs from Williamsburg & go there frequently. Have fond
memories of our class trip.
Other: Great web site! Thanks to all the work everyone is doing to make this the best reunion.
I've only gone to 1 other reunion (10th). Will be good to see everyone.

Interests:
I'm not working right now and loving a life of leisure. My time is spent reading,
relaxing, and of course SHOPPING, but most importantly spending quality time with my family.
Reality will be settling in again though. In the fall I'll be starting school. I'm still trying
to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!!!
Memories:
I have so many great memories of our high school days and the class of '76. I loved the
pictures that Sharon and the others scanned. They sure took me down memory lane. Those were good
times (a little too good!!) We by far had the best class ever!
Other: A big thanks to Marty and his brother on this great website. A lot of hard work was put
into this so I hope all of you can make it. It's going to be the best reunion yet. I can't wait to
see everyone!

Work: Hospital Staff Pharmacist
Kids: 4- Kristen,18-Carey,16, twins Brenda & Bruce, 14
Grandkids:
None
Memories: With my oldest daughter graduating this year from RHS, I realized that we are all so very fortunate to be RHS Alumni. From the school, teachers and lasting friendships, the memories will stay with us forever. RHS has seen many
changes over the last 25 years, but the people are what makes it the best. My kids memories will be like mine, a great part of growing up in
Ridgway, PA. My best memories are football and marching band season as well as being in class with great people.
News: With my kids in school, sometimes it is really strange to find out that their teachers are someone that I had in school. My kids love to sit and look at the old yearbooks to see what went on back then. Get your's out and you'll want to come in August just to catch up on all that has happened in 25 years. Some of the teachers still around are Mr. & Mrs. Joiner, Mr. Connelly who is the principal, Benny, Mr. Gerber, Mrs. Hanes and so on. Great people that made our childhood memories that much more special.
Other: I hope to see as many of you as possible for the weekend of the 25th Class reunion. All of us are working hard to make it a great time, but we need each of you to come. Hope to see everyone in August!

same. Good way to keep in touch.

Work: Group Media Director at DDB Worldwide (Advertising)
Kids: 4 - Logan (13) Briana (10) Andrea (9) Nathaniel (1)
Grandkids:
Interests:
With four kids -- including the new guy -- my interests/hobbies tend to get back-shelved for being a full-time suburban dad. I have managed to pass along to my kids my love of the theatre and of sci-fi -- but where my girls got their devotion to 98 Degrees and
'NSync, I'll never know.
Memories:
Had I known I'd end up marrying an Argentine woman, I would have been more motivated in Mrs. Kleindinst's Spanish classes.
News: No, but if anyone's interested -- I did save the May 19, 1976, issue of the Maroonews (Vol.44, Number 3). You mean you didn't?!? Now that 25 years have passed, you may want to know what your Senior Will was, or who was listed under the titles "THE PERFECT SENIOR GIRL WOULD HAVE . . ." or "THE PERFECT SENIOR GUY WOULD HAVE . . ."
Other: Great job, Marty (Itchy?), on pulling this together. I don't know if I'll make it to the reunion in August, but I wish everyone the best.

Name: PAUL A. REED
Email: allbld@ncentral.com
Spouse's name: Patty
Living in:
Ridgway,
PA
Work: Manager of Allegheny Blending Technologies, Inc.
Kids: 2
Grandkids:
0
Interests:
I always have and hopefully always will enjoy hunting and just being in the great outdoors of
Ridgway/Elk County. I have been Mtn. biking for many years and have taken up long distance running. I have completed 2 marathons and hope that I will never run another
one, (unless of course I lose my mind even more). I have gotten my oldest son, (Dillon age 10), into running and really love running with him. My youngest son, (Dustin age 6), needs to grow his legs a little longer before I get him to run. As a family, we have gotten into camping and progressed from tent camping to a camper. These 40+ bones have a hard time moving after a night on the cold hard ground, (disregard that Fuzzy). Patty and I coached Dustin's T-Ball team in 2000, but neither of the boys wanted to play baseball this year as they wanted to concentrate on Soccer. Something new for me to learn.
Memories:
Actually 25 minutes is a long time for me to remember anything let alone 25 years, just ask Patty.
Other: A special thanks to Marty for setting this up. It's a great idea to be able to see what everybody is doing.

Name: MIKE SUPON
Email: msupon@penn.com
Spouse's name: Terri
Living in: St. Marys, PA
Work: Senior Process Engineer, Carbide/Graphite Group (formerly Speer Carbon)
Kids: Twin daughters, Tricia & Stephanie, age 11
Grandkids: none
Interests: I've been all over the map, from overly-dedicated businessman to semi-retired family man & dad. I'm currently doing what I like which is technical engineering. I've been at my job since graduating from Penn State, and have lived in three different cities (St. Marys is officially a city now). Daguscahonda (remember that?) isn't a city, so it doesn't qualify. Anyhow, I'm now fully into serious kid raising...pigtail softball, piano, Girl Scouts, church activities, mountain biking, etc. Next year begins middle school, and we all know what begins to happen there! The house and yardwork stuff is all part of what I do too. Sounds a little boring, but since I married late (@33) I got all (well most) of the "real exciting" activities out of the way. I still love motorcycles, as does Terri (thank God), and I enjoy many sports activities. It takes a little longer to recover than it used to! My thanks go out to
Fab, Diane and the Reunion Team for organizing everything. I can imagine all the details, and we're very lucky to have a group to put it all together. I'm really looking forward to August, but I can't quite swallow the 25 years yet. It seems just like yesterday.
