I'm so glad that we have this forum to keep in touch with each other. No matter where I am in the world, I can always access the website, & keep in contact with Our Gang! Thanks for setting this up. It means a great deal to me.
My days since Beach High were, and still are, quite amazing. After High School, I got a Master's Degree from the University of Miami, played in rock & Roll Bands for WQAM Radio with Rick Shaw & Roby Younge, became Musical Director for The Rhodes Brothers, Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders, appeared daily on "The Skipper Chuck Show" as Musical Director. Then left for Las Vegas to become Musical Director for "The Platters". I've recorded over 300 childrens records for the "Strawberry Shortcake" Series. Returned to Fla, met my incredible wife Rodi, a Star performer in her own right. We formed a team & started Headling on Luxury Cruise liners all over the world. Our son Daryn is now in our act & he has travelled the world on over 27 different cruises. My life is truly blessed. Fortunately, to keep me grounded, I have learned to never take this for granted, so I am thankful every single day.

I'm afraid it would take much more than 8000 characters to begin to tell all the wonderful memories & experiences that I can remember from my days at Beach High. Needless to say, they were absolutely incredible, & I thank each and every one of you for contributing to those wonderful rememberances. I love you all!
