30th Class Reunion

I recently attended my 30th High School Reunion. The photo is of me, Mark Ballard, and my friends Henry Riess, and Raul Aragon. Henry is now a pilot for American Airlines and Raul is a Pharmacist and owns his own drug store in Boynton Beach Florida. We all graduated from Cardinal Newman High School in West Palm Beach Florida in 1977.

In case you're wondering it was a tropical theme.

Messer hooks inshore slam worth $1,000

A total of 133 anglers participated in the Riverside Café / Vero Tackle Inshore Fishing Tournament on Saturday. But no one won as big as Wayne Messer.

Messer took home a $1,000 payout for catching a slam of trout, redfish and flounder, which weighed in at 10 pounds, beating out Bruddy Tyson's slam of 9 1/2 pounds.

Most of the big trout were caught early in the morning on topwater plugs. Derek Seiger won $750 in the trout division, finishing first with a weight of 7 1/2 pounds. Mike Olvey won the redfish division and $750, with a fish weighing in at 6.6 pounds.

Colin Willis won the junior angler slam, catching a ladyfish (.85 pounds), a jack (1.3 pounds) and a sheephead (2.05 pounds) to win a rod, reel, cast net and $100. Cody Ward won a rod and a reel in the junior division as well.
