What is your best memory from Kecoughtan?:
I loved sports, especially soccer and track! Coached by Lindsay we were the best muddy field soccer team in Warrior history. Flanked by the greatest strikers, Jack Zamora, Dickie Robinson, and Jeff Routten, we were unbeatable. My stupidest stunt at KHS almost barred me from graduation. I mistakenly thought I could get away with riding my Harley down “C” corridor, escaping through the smoking area. I made it believing nobody would give me up. WRONG!!! The teachers were great at KHS, especially Mrs. Seals and Mrs. Pleasant. They were really looking out for me in "75".
What have you been doing the last few decades?:
“The last Decades”... are you kidding me… I having trouble with last week =) !
OK, after graduation I sold my Harley, went to Piney Point Merchant Marine Academy then headed south to Louisiana. Ten years later I thought I had it together; an Ocean Masters License, great job, no relational commitments,and a condo in Destin Florida. Then it happened! I was home for Christmas and I "saw her again," WOW “Kathie Duvall” (class of 74). My ocean goin' days were numbered! I was suddenly struck with the dreaded mariner’s disease “channel fever”. We were married in 1983, I traded my Master’s License for a badge and S&W 357 magnum (now those of you that knew me then, well it’s a God relationship thing now). Now and forever, Kathie is the joy of my life, we have two beautiful kids, I mean young adults, and we live in the beautiful Town of Smithfield, VA. Last year was incredible, I had a liver transplant. Many of our Warrior Town family and friends (God knows who you are) stood by us in prayer and support. I was just hours away from eternity, I was ready; my doctors had tried their best, then our Father God took over. My life was spared, an Easter miracle. A Matthew chapter 6 kinda man was willing to lay his life down to save mine, incredible faith, and love restored my life. Lastly, I had a dream about the reunion and this line from one of my favorite movies kept playing over and over again “Peter...Peter...PETER it is you, there you are”. Did anyone else have that dream? Kathie and I hope to see many of you at the reunion next month.

From Kurt:
Kurt's Poem'
  Blessed, quickened, born to run.  A moment in time grasped with awesome sounds, splashed with realistic sighs... oh optimism. Clever innocence steer me on to childlike faith, believing that all things are possible. Free birds released, feathered in our spirits,  beckoned wave lengths tuned to WOWI.   "Do you recall what was revealed? " Hurry now..dial to WVEC at 4ish.  “Riddle me this Batman” Oh, what an escaped buzz thou art, our Dynamic Duo, *POW” “Bang” ‘Punch’.  Close your eyes now, can you see?  Listen to lazy, glistening waves on Buckroe Beach.  Party Grandview then VB.  Oh, now awakened on OBX.  Feeling cool, summer breeze ...wow "catch a wave", “Wouldn’t it be nice if we were Older”!  Have you found your Love?   I have ...“75” it’s YOU.
