Charlie Anderson update: after 3+ weeks of body paralysis with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, he tells us that he is progressing favorably, walking with a walker, but continued weakness of limbs. May 19th...Jim O'Hara visited Gator and said he is progressing with his strength. It will be a long process. We have every confidence that he will rebound to get back on the golf course!

Our Dr. Harold Baumgarten is still teaching about his D-Day experiences before coming to PBHS. Look for him in documentaries on the event. He is a retired pediatrician in northern Florida. He wishes to be remembered to you all.

Kudos to Roger Lewis, who has passed the FL Bar exam and now can add LD to his MD. His second life is just beginning!

The Northboro Elementary, Jr. High buildings have been torn down and rebuilt. Although sad, the new facility is an honorable replacement!

A L E R T ! Our PBHS Museum in WPB is in need of maintenance funds. The dependancy of air-conditioning is crucial due to mold potential on all our memorabilia, as well as other upkeep. Won't you please send a check in any amount to: PBHS Historical Assn., PO Box 18456, WPB, FL 33416, marked for "Museum Donation". It is a non-profit org. and tax-deductible! Thank you.
