An old friend from the middle school days

Greetings all. This is William Trippett, went to school with a lot of you from 6th -8th grade. started at FPW and then transferred to a school in St. Pete. Just found this site while surfing and thought I might be able to reconnect with some lost friends. I have been in the Navy for the last 21 years and loving every minute of it. Currently assigned as the recruiting zone supervisor in the Tampa Bay area. Drop me a line at [e-mail]

Hi William! I remember you -- we were in PE together in 8th grade (I'm pretty sure it was 8th). I remember that you were an absolute riot in class. It's cool that you found us -- welcome to the board!

Not sure what class we had together. It's been forever. Must have been pre-high school though. Probably 8th grade, though I never remember PE at Lincoln Park. Just science in Mrs. Fox's class and Social Studies in Mrs. Benjamin's class.

Tripp!!!!

I always loved you! You made 8th grade so much more fun! I always assumed you went to Westwood.

My son leaves for the Navy January 6, 2008. He is going to corpsman school and hopes to be selected for Fleet Medical Force. He was in cross country and track for all 4 years of high school and they were recruiting him for SWCC ... but he wants to get the medical training and hopes to eventually go to Physician's Assistant School.

I am a lawyer now. I opened my own practice recently after working as a prosecutor for 8 years. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, though. I am taking pre-reqs for nursing because I would like to become a midwife. I guess my life goals are to help people out. Right now, I help people out of jail ... I want to help people out of the womb. Weird, huh?
