            |  Kenny Butzer Who is this guy?  He was in our class in '84. 
        Anyone? ... According to Captain James T. Quirk, "If I can remember
        right, he was only around for 1 year and had really long straight blonde
        hair.  Kind of a tough guy.  May have threatened you a few
        times and you were too traumatized to remember." ... Jason Miller
        thinks Kenny Butzer lived in the Bedard house near Eric Delewski on Haag
        Road. "If this is the same dude, both my sisters had huge
        	'crushes' on him. My dad wouldn't allow him around since he
        wore makeup and parachute pants."

            Steve Curlin at the Golds Gym in Exeter every now and then ... Steve had a metal gremlin 
			in 8th grade which he yanked off of someone's card which he kept as 
			his "pet."  Brendan Kane revealed that he was often pressed in 
			"babysitting" for the metal gremlin.  Steve even gave the 
			gremlin parental lectures ... One time as Suzanna Post was passing a 
			note in class, Steve bit her hand so hard that it bled as she was 
			passing a note in class.  Hehe ... Karel Frymoyer lives in the

 Steve was my best friend back in 5th grade, my
              first year in the Antietam school district after transferring from
              St. Catherine's - we palled around in Mr. Leinbach's train
              club!  Steve, along with  Barclay
              Wilson, formed the original
              "Screwdriver Mafia." ... Steve served in the Marine's
              after high school ... My mom ran into him at Boscov�s around 1995
              and he actually recognized her after all these years ... 
            Steve's wife's name is 
            Michelle, and they have two boys - Noah (10/08/97) and Nathanael 
            (11/12/00).  Noah was on the radio in 2003 reciting the 
            Pledge of Allegiance.  Steve thinks Noah will be the next
  Marine in the family.  Nathanael is the sneaky one, and was 
            recently found running down the street in his pajamas chasing the 
            dog.  The Monroes now plan to lock their doors! ... His family use to 
            have their own website, but it seems to have been taken down and, 
            oddly, replaced by a Japanese kitchen sanitation site - everything 
            is in Japanese! ... The Monroe's were living in

 Bob is living in 
		Doylestown ... He was in  Jeff
        Petersen's wedding party ... He transferred to Central because he wanted
        to play Football ... I ran into Bob at a Pig Roast in 2000.  His
        sister Alanna has been dating a friend of mine (Chad
        Shrawder) who I
        played
  Softball with for a couple years ... Bob and his wife adopted two brothers from Russia in 1999 
		(Nicholas and Thomas, born in 1994 and 1996), 
		and then adopted two more brothers from Russia in 2003 (Matthew and 
		Christopher, born in 2000 and 2001) ... Bob Pettit turned Dave Knorr on to Egg McMuffins ...
        According to Bob's Classmates.com profile which
        was new as of October 2002, he has at least one dog, drives an SUV, and graduated from Albright College in 1991 
		... Wendy Crow's brother, John, spit on me 
		from the balcony at a party at Bob's house once ... Bob wrote in my 5th

        party for Tina.)  Tina fell while skating and broke her wrist.

		 Mike Rapp Mike was the shortstop of the Antietam
        Traveling team back in 7th grade.  Here's an amazing fact: I tied
        Mike for team lead in home runs with 4 (all over the fence) - hard to
        believe, I'm sure, but I actually knew how to swing a bat early in my
        life! ... Mike used to have a shirt that said "On a scale of 1 to
        10, I�m an 11." ... Like Bob Pettit, I think Mike also left Mt.
        Penn to play football at Central Catholic.

 * Dave was another
        who transferred to Central Catholic to play football.
 
 *
            Per Dave, 
			who cleared up the rumors of him being struck by a car not long 
			after graduation:  "I was struck by an auto after leaving 
			Stopper's Pub in 1988. Allegedly, we had parked on the opposite side 
			of 422 and I made it halfway to the car. I don't really remember 
			anything about the accident, so I pieced this together through 
			medical and legal documents.  
			I sustained 4 
			craniofacial fractures, my jaw was wired shut for 7 weeks; a closed 
			head injury; tore 3 ligaments in both knees; and avulsed have my 
			left hamstrings. I spent several days in ICU then ~3 more weeks in 
			the hospital Jim Cinneli's dad sewed me back together. Then my 
			hospital room was moved to my family's living room and my 
			grandmother moved in to take care of me. I had a cast on both legs 
			for six weeks. It took about 6 months until I could walk without 
			assistance. I can't complain though, I'm alive. And in a strange 
			way, the night I got hit was the best day
  of 
			my life. I am a better person for it. Next time you are driving down 
			422 check your speedometer when you go by Stopper's, if it is still 
			there. The cement dividers were not there when I was. A good 
			friend's father was killed in a car accident about 100 yards down 
			from Stopper's, the dividers went up after that." 
 * More 
			from Dave:  "I graduated from Albright with a BA in psychology. 
			From there I went to Washington D.C to attend American University. I 
			received an MA in psychology there. I also met Laura who eventually 
			would lower her standards and marry me. An aside: I've learned if I 
			set my goals lower I can attain more of them, it's good for the self 
			confidence. After American U, I lived in D.C. for another 4 years 
			and I worked with the chronically mentally ill. I look at the 4 
			years as my pay back to society. From D.C. we moved to San Antonio 
			so Laura could do her internship at the V.A. hospital. Once we moved 
			I enrolled in college again to take biology, chemistry, physics etc, 
			all the hard stuff I skipped in my prior life, so I could apply to 
			PT school. I graduated with a master's degree in PT in 2001, that 
			amounts to 11 years of college after high school. At that time I 
			also
  moved 
			back to the east coast, I really missed the change of seasons, but I 
			did not enjoy the winters above the Mason-Dixon line. So we just 
			kind of picked a place on the map, packed all our stuff in a U-haul 
			and headed east." 
 * Per Marta Weitz: "His brother Bill went to West Chester U. at the
        same time as I did.  My sophomore year I dated a guy who lived in
        the apartment next to mine.  One day I went over to see John, and
        there was Bill (Strickler.)  It turns out he was the new roommate -
        how weird!  A few times when I went home to see my parents I gave
        Bill a ride back to West Chester.  (Mrs. Strickler would drop him
        off at my house - that was weird!)  Bill is a really nice
        guy.  I realized that once he became my neighbor and got to know
        him.  He's now a Reading cop, and has been for quite a while."
 
 * Speaking of Dave's brother, Bill - Lori (Quaintance) Hevalow's 
			husband works with Bill as a police officer in Reading.
 
 * Brendan Kane ran into Mr. & Mrs. Strickler at the Oley Fair in
        September 2001.

        tormenting me during my "awkward years."

        district before transferring to Central Catholic. She says she was
        "forced mercilessly...I did not want to go." :o)  She lived on Carsonia
        Avenue and had 4 siblings - two brothers and two sisters.  Her brother Chris, who did 
            graduate from MPHS sometime in the '90's is in the Marines and 
            returned home safely from Iraq in February 2003 and again in March 
			of 2005.  In fact, two 
            of Chris's classmates from MPHS - Mike Schaub and Devon Simowitz - 
			joined the Marines at the same time he did ... Val received her M.S. 
			in Fisheries.  She was previously working for the Mid-Atlantic

        like summer bluefish, flounder and  others.  In 2003 she began working 
            for "engineering-environmental Management, Inc. (e2M),
            
			http://www.e2m-inc.com/, where she works on 
			
			
			environmental analyses of military actions.  Her work mostly revolves around the Coast Guard since 
            she's more of a marine/fish biologist.  Her title at e2M is 
            Marine Ecologist.  She was originally working 
            in Dover, DE, but her office moved to Bala  Cynwyd (outside of Philly) at the 
            end of 2003 ... Marta Weitz ran into her at a West Chester fraternity party.  Marta notes that "she was really nice, and was
        really very pretty." ... As of 9/2001, Valerie still talks to Laura
        (Schnader) Van Aken with regularity (she says Laura was the first person
        that she met at Antietam in 2nd grade and still is her best friend.  
			(In fact, Laura's husband calls her "Our Pal Val".) Valerie
        saw Sharon Lewandowski at their Central Catholic 15-year reunion, and
        occasionally bumps into Missy (Ryan) Wittig, Jay Sockel and Ann (DiCerchio) 
            Miller

        Marta's parents' house, Mike used to live about a block from MY house
        behind St. Catherine's.  He and I spent a LOT of time together when
        we were very young listening to Kiss and Queen in our bedrooms, hiking
        around Neversink Mountain, flying balsa wood planes, racing Match-Box
        cars, playing kickball, going roller-skating and throwing a Frisbee back and forth.
