FROM THE EDITOR
Hello Panthers.
Here is the big news that you have been waiting for. The 50
Year Reunion will be at the Sonesta Bayfront Hotel in Coconut
Grove, May 2 - 4, 2014. Details to follow. The Reunion
Committee is in negotiations with the Sonesta at the present
time. We have been hearing from a lot of classmates who have
not been at our previous reunions who have said that they have
been waiting for the big 5-0. The Honorable Richard Suarez
(you may have known him as Ricky) chaired the first reunion
committee in 1974. He is still working on the committee as is
Tom Brown & his wife, Debbie, Larry Cameron & his wife, Pam,
Thad Koch, Roberta Ready Scott & Leah Rigot. And my wife,
Bunny, has been helping the committee as well. We will be
emailing a questionnaire to you shortly to determine who will be
attending and to update the information in the Class Directory.
Email me at miamilawyr@gmail.com or Thad at
kochx@bellsouth.net with any updates or information that you
want included in an upcoming newsletter before the big event.
We look forward to seeing each & every one of you at the
reunion next year.
Watch for the Special Edition Newsletter with all the Reunion
details and information coming soon!!

J.R. Penny writes to tell us to:
“Change my email address to
paradisealpacas@aol.com
Thanks, J.R.’’
Gloria told me “I finally found Mary Adams after she
joined Classsmates.com. Now if only Jan Pitts would
join. I know it has been awhile since we chatted. I
hope all is fine. If you ever get to Tallahassee holler at
me.
Ron,
‘Thanks for the most recent newsletter. I really like the new format and all the clips
from our classmates. I would like you to use this email : celia.wannall@gmail.com
I am still in Marietta,GA, 3641 Longfellow Trail, 30062.
My husband and I are both retired school teachers. I taught high school English and
worked as a media specialist for 25 years; my husband had an Air Force career for the
first twenty years and a teaching career for another fifteen.
I have been in touch with Doris Buchanan Johnson who lives outside Annapolis, MD
and Connie Caley who lives just a few minutes from my house. I will send the
newsletter on to them. I am looking forward to the 50th; this fall I'll go with my
husband to his 50th in Winter Park, FL in the fall of 2013’.

CLASSMATE CHATTER!
Thanks again Ron, for a great Panther update….I join all the others that have commented on
the hard work you do to keep us kids posted on the happenings…there were a lot of folks in
our class, as you well know, and keeping everyone updated is a full time job! I retired from
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. A widow now, I enjoy traveling when time permits.
My update for you (if I hadn’t already sent it…memory failing me)

Robert Newbold
Sad information sent by classmate John Brehm.
Man found dead in dinghy is identified. April 29th, 2013.
A man whose body was found Friday in an inflatable dinghy offshore of Islamorada near
Shell Key has been identified.
The body was found by two boaters. There was no identification found with the body and
there were no signs of foul play in evidence. On Saturday evening, the manager of Dominos
Pizza in Tavernier told Sgt. Mark Coleman an employee, 67 year old Robert Newbold, had
not shown up for work. Newbold fit the description of the body found, and was known to
live on board a sailboat anchored offshore of Islamorada.
Today, the Medical Examiner’s Office made positive identification of the body as that of
Newbold. His family was notified of his death.

Last newsletter we asked for a list of restaurants remembered
from our Palmetto High days. Below are the responses we
received...
Send us those that we missed and you remember!
Roberta (Ready) Scott’s Restaurant Memories
The high school favorite was Hot Shoppes, but of course Shorty's, maybe A& W, The
Flame for special occasions, & Tyler's. When I was a kid, I lived in the Grove so we went to
La Casita Tea Room which later was Taurus. We also went to Grandma's Kitchen, Pizza
Palace ( the one shaped like a big ball), The Big Wheel ( I went with my sister cause that
was the Miami High hangout). Our family liked Red Diamond for great pizza. Oh yeah,
Swift's was another one I went to when I was a kid.
Roberta
I recall: Snowden’s Country Store, Black Caesar’s Forge, The Flame, Flynn’s
Dixie Ribs (world’s best onion rings), Dixie Belle Inn, A & W, Sam & Carl’s Deli (S.
Miami), Santacroce’s Italian, Submarine King, Frankie’s Pizza (still open), Shorty’s
(also still open), Allen’s Drugs lunch counter, Howard Johnson’s, Tylers (hot
roast beef sandwich), Royal Castle, Jimmy’s Hurricane, Hamburger Circus &
Canton Chinese.
Thad Koch
From Leah Rigot
Hot Shoppes was a big hang out.
The Forge off Old Cutler
The Yorkshire Inn
Howard Johnson on US 1 just north of 104th
Street
Shorty's, of course
Miami Springs Villa
King Arthurs Court?
Jimmy's Hurricane
Gretners
King's Bay Country Club
Burdines
Burger King across from Shorty's
Jahn's in Coral Gables
Italian Restaurant across from U of M-Sorrento's?
Restaurant at U of M (coffee shop?)
Captain's Tavern
Sunniland Restaurant?
Parrot Jungle
As far as restaurants go, don't forget Hot
Shoppes on US 1 in the Grove. They had a
drive-in always full of cars & Fred Luss & I used
to go cruising up & down the drive-in lanes
talking to the other cars & trying to pick up girls.
Ron Lieberman
Best part of that whole scene was
driving there and back in my black' 57
T-Bird with the white hard-top
convertible and portholes . . . those
were the days.
