April 1963.
On "hog" island, collecting echinoderm samples for Western. Hog Island became Nassau’s Paradise Island. Friend Nick Smyrnios became a Delta Airline Captain.

First Gladstone HS wrestling team, 1968-69. Wonderful sport, great athletes. Caught on well in HS and Elementary. Had over 90 kids on the mats the next year. They asked me to start the program because I was on Western’s Judo team.

Just fun to see this team again—they are all 50 years old now. Coach Kleiman on left, a great athlete, is in the U.P. Sports Hall of Fame.
