I think Ralph was probably more persistent and persuasive and his success rate was way up there compared to normal guys, haha. Congrats on your 44.5 year marriage. It seems like I've been married all my life, almost 12 years to the first one and almost 34 on this marriage with a year of bachelorhood in between.

I will pass your info on Lynn Sculthorpe on to Lefty McBride, the website owner, so he can add her to the list. I remember her. RIP Lynn. Yeah, the yearbook staffs made some mistakes on names - they spelled my recently deceased good buddy Ray Kyse from PS Jr and HHS as Ray Kupe.

I'll try to get the e-mail out tonight. I'm up in Orlando at my wife's convention and I need to make some visits to friends in the area and over at Cape Canaveral during the day.

Thanks Ernie!

Don....Ralph always beat me out to the good looking babes. The last lady I killed was the same woman I've been with for the last 44 1/2 years. Never saw that coming in Junior High.

I'll be looking forward to your email. I'm always up for hanger talk.

I tried adding another deceased student that's not listed on the hialeahigh.com but it says that contact is no longer there. Maybe you have a way of doing it. She was a close friend and my neighbor. I knew her since second grade. She was in the class of 66. Her name was Lynn Sculthorpe and she passed away on 9/05/07. They spelled her name wrong in the yearbook as they did mine.

Hope to hear from you soon.....

Thank you for the information Ernie. You and Ralph were lady-killers as I recall and at our HHS 30-year reunion in 1995 some girls had an old Palm Springs yearbook and at least a couple of them were gushing over your photo when someone mentioned your name. Funny stuff, especially after 30 years at the time.

I'm going to send you an e-mail - it will come from "B7879dreamliner@gmail.com - inquiring about your flying career. I've always been interested in how crazy pilot employment is for individuals - either you make it big by getting on with the right carrier or you don't make it big because your carrier went bust or you never got on with a major airline for various reasons. I don't want all that on this page where everyone else can read what you and I have to say.

I don't know if you have seen Lefty McBride's website athttp://hialeahhigh.com but he has a list of deceased classmates arranged by class year based on people like me notifying him when we see obituaries for HHS grads. Of course there are probably a lot more people who passed away and they didn't have an obituary or no one noticed the obituary because it was published in a small-town newspaper where no other HHS grads live. Anyhow, Ralph is listed on the site, along with a bunch of kids from our graduation years. The deceased list page is located at:
http://hialeahhigh.com/Hialeah%20Deceased.htm

Your Class of 1966 is having a 50-year Reunion coming up this July. The website is located at:
http://www.classcreator.com/Hialeah-Florida-Hialeah-Senior-1966/class_index.cfm

And, last but not least, someone recently posted either on this site or on Facebook that they were married to Steve Pauley (you got the spelling correct) and I need to track that down.

Don, I appreciate you remembering me as a cool guy. It's been so many years I've forgotten what being cool is like or that I was one. I still have such great memories of Palm Springs J.H.. I moved around a lot in high school but I wound up graduating at H.H.S in '66 after going to two other schools before coming back. I retired 9 years ago as an airline pilot and I'm still kicking and living large. Hope you are doing the same. Thanks for your condolences about Ralph..... Ernie (P.S. I'm not sure if I spelled Steve Pauley's last name correctly)

Cool guy Ernie Filippini, it's been 54 years since PS Junior and the last time I've seen you. Did you go to Hialeah High with most of us or did you go elsewhere? The school had so many kids going there that it was possible to never see another PS Junior kid there over three years. I've wondered over the years whatever happened to you.

Thank you for Lynn's last name which I will add right now. I'm sorry to hear of Ralph's passing almost 10 years ago.

Don
