Monds was the best! I'm sorry to hear that he died

[eddieb]

Last time I saw Coach Monds he was running the Rec Center down in Stuart. I was seeing him quite often, but haven't seen him in about a year or so.

Kristine - Oh no! That's sad ... he was too cool. Anyone know the circumstances??

"Mal" - Mrs. Mallonee, hands down was my favorite. She still is ... I swap emails with her occassionally and it's amazing to see how OLD her children are now. You know what that means ... we're OLD! UGH! Seriously, she is such a doll and always took care of us. And, the permanent hall pass that she gave me as Editor of the Nulla Pambu was a Godsend. As was the free stack of hall passes from Monds. He was the best, too - Wonderful Terrific Monds. I wonder where he is now?? Anyone know?

Clark - we had the best time working on the newspaper and underground Last Will & Testaments didn't we?? Anyone still have the underground piece? I came across it when I moved to OK this summer and laughed so loud when I read it. My nephews thought I was losing it!

i still have my copy of the senior last will & testament. didnt the school try & stop that thing from being released? ive got a bunch of photos, news clips & other stuff. i need to scan stuff & post it. most of it is very funny.

Yeah PVT, it was an underground last will and testament. I can't remember the particulars of why we couldn't do it or weren't supposed to though...anyone remember?

[Kelly Hampton]

I think I still have my last will & testament

[Bob Lombardi]

Can anyone scan and post it? Pleeeeeeeeze? ;D

I only went to central for my senior year. There are 3 teachers that stand out in my memories. First DR. Penny Scialdo who was not only my fav teacher but, also a good friend... still remember the trip she allowed me to go on with her special ed class to Bush Gardens Second had to be Ms. Taylor. She gave me a part in the school play.. She also told my ex girl friend i was Gay before i even knew i was.... which brings me to my 3rd fav teacher Dan Collella. My only teacher crush in 12 years.....i really studied hard for that class. As wrote in my yearbook & i quote... Thanks for keeping me sane in the 6th hour...at least i would get some feed back...wonder where that hot man is now

you mean this guy?

I'm not his stalker or anything, but he was one of my coaches in H.S., and I have teamates from SIU that are Div1 coaches, so I noticed him one time looking for them..

man I sound like a stalker, don't I ?

The Last Will & Testament was "underground" because of censorship issues. School officials weren't happy with the content of the Class of 1985's publication, so we were told that we could not publish one. The Nulla Pambu staff went underground and did it ourselves. Anyone who placed a W&T in the publication paid for it - I think we charged by line or something. The money was used to pay the printer for layout and printing costs. We got some flack about it after publication, but nothing too terrible. What's funny to me now is that we used the "school" printer ... so I'm not sure now how underground it really could have been! We were just lucky to have some strong supporters who didn't rat us out to administration before it was printed and distributed. I have a copy somewhere ... will try to find it this weekend while stuck in the house under an "ice storm warning."

i thought you might get a kick out of this. sorry the scan is so off center. i did the best with what i had as far as a scanner

Clark - I have a little stalker in me, too.
About Monds - I found his name/number in a newsletter for the recreation center in Stuart. I could not find an obit so it sounds as if he is alive & well. I also found a lot of press on two of his sons: Wonderful Terriffic Monds III and Mario Monds. I had no idea that his kids went on to be athletes. WT III was a baseball player for several minor league teams and Mario played for the Cincinnati Bengals and another team (name escapes me now - I haven't had my coffee yet this morning). And, People Search shows a WTM in PSL of age 34 and a WTM in PSL of age 55. So, it looks like father and son live in PSL???

could be, I ran into WT Monds III at dodger town 10 years ago, I recognized the name and yelled to him between innings, he came over, he must have thought I knew him because I knew his middle name.. I asked him to say Hi to his father, at which time he informed me he didn't speak to him..

anyway the people search often times still has people alive that are dead..., but like you I failed to find an Obit after trying several local newspaper websites


PS have fun with one of the biggest ice storms in a decade..

I got my AC on

Kelly sent over her copy of the W&T to me. I will either post the scans or if I have the time & patience re-type them

Who were my favs?

Well, I'd have to say number one would be Mrs. Arthur for what she did for me.

The rest in no particular order:

Coach Lockey because he could take a joke. Larry Plympton help me out. Didn't we have a stapler fight in his class one day? I had little spots of blood all over my jeans for the rest of the day and my thighs hurt like hell for a week .

Coach MacMillen, never had him for a class, but he was an awesome coach.

Mrs. Scialdo, besides being very tollerant, she brought half the Hamadryad staff to see me swim at a meet. It was the only time I ever won an individual race outright. She raved about it for weeks.

Mr. Miller in drafting. He was just way cool.

Mr. Orr, I don't know if he necessarily ranks as a favorite teacher, but Kent Profita and I sure had a ton of fun spinning him up. He was waaay too easy!

Mr. Heuter in electronics, another cool teach. I got to have beers with him several times after graduation.

Mrs. Hill, OK, stay with me here. Her hard a$$ demeaner was a put-on. She knew I knew it, but I never told anyone. It was a like a secret joke between us. In the end, she still failed me.

Frau Specker, German class, the only teacher that I voluntarily signed up for again. No, I didn't have to repeat a class, it was German II yff!

That's it for now.
