Today's Lake Worth High Alumni Breakfast

Comment Up
City Manager, Susan Stanton and Dennis Dorsey

Today's breakfast was really special for me. There were a few people for whom I have not seen in a million years sitting at an adjacent table. I kept seeing this one woman smiling at me and thought she was just being friendly. After the meeting I stopped at the table and the gal was Christine Jorgensen Blumenfeld who now lives in Vero Beach. Back in 7th or perhaps 8th grade she beat me at a baseball throw. I was dead set on winning that tournament but she beat me out by inches. It is still a memorable experience and a learning one at that. No matter how good you think you are, there is always someone better. It was great seeing her again.

Also at that table were Nancy Tuttle Edwards who lives in Boynton Beach and Lois Kramer Richman who is an author and living in College Park. Sue Kunkel Drawdy was there too. Randy Hall, our star at Lake Worth High back in those days, was seated with them. I had a big crush on him in 7th grade.

Tomorrow night is the awards ceremony, 7pm at Lake Worth High School, for Dollars for Scholars. They are awarding $75,000.
