June 11, 2009 - Cyndi Shore loses her long battle with cancer
The following note is from a close friend of Cyndi's:
Hey Robert,
I just wanted to let you know that our classmate Cindi Shore passed away
this past Saturday, June 6th. She had been battling cancer for many years
and unfortunately it was a fight she just could not win. She was a dear
friend to me and to many of our fellow classmates and she will be greatly
missed. If you wouldn't mind sending out a note to everyone I would really
appreciate it.
Thanks so much & take care,
Janice Wilson-O'Connor

Someone has contacted us regarding a WPHS class of 1980 class ring that was found with a metal detector. The initials on the ring are "VDM" and the finder has said that the size of the ring might indicate that is was a female's ring. A picture of it is HERE. If you know who's it is, let me know. Thanks.
I also have some very sad news to pass on to the WPHS class of 1980. Donna Willcox Koziara passed away unexpectedly on Christmas day 2006 at her home in Central Florida. She was an elementary school teacher at Vista Lakes Elementary School in Orlando and leaves behind a teenage son, Zachary, and teenage daughter, Brittany. (both currently students at Boone High School)
If anyone would like to send their condolenses to her father, sister (Karen) or children, they can send them to:
Andy Willcox
200 St. Andrews Blvd. #1908
Winter Park, FL 32792-4240
I am sure her family would find comfort in hearing from Donna's high school classmates. I have included a recent photo of Donna with her class.
Sincerely,
Melissa Houck Leyte

10/26/2006 - From Bob Charles: To All, it is with great sadness that I inform you that Dave Taylor, a fellow grad and good friend died last Friday(20 Oct 06).
Dave a had a history of a heart-related condition and his brother, Dan, told me that Dave died peacefully in his sleep.
Although Dave was quiet and reserved, he had lots of friends and had a great sense of humor. He was a very talented artist and he was a member of the National Honor Society and also graduated from the University of Central Florida where he studied Political Science. Dave and I went through 2 years of Air Force ROTC together and also worked on the Navy Base together for 4 years. He worked as a Data Analyst on the Orange County staff. His funeral will be this evening(26 Oct 06) in Winter Park. I will forward more information soon.
2/21/2004 A note from Greg Lautenburg:
