Class of 1950 Celebrates 60th Reunion
Meeting held at Jim’s Buffet and Grill
By Sid Riley
On Saturday, May 15, the class of 1950 assembled to rekindle childhood friendships, to share in the recall of fond memories, and to share lifetime stories. The special friendships formed during a person’s childhood and teen years generally endure with a special bond, unlike any of the other friendships formed as one travels life’s road. The relationships of that era of a person’s life are similar to the bonds between brothers and sisters.

Officers later received another call in the same area with the caller giving the same description the caller also stated that he observed the subjects coming out of a dark area behind some houses after the Officers departed the area. On their second response to the area, officers were able to make contact with the two subjects at the intersection of Guyton St. and Lafayette.
When Officers asked the two for identification, one subject who was later identified as Michael James, threw a small piece of broken spark plug porcelain to the ground in an attempt to conceal the object from the Officers. The Officer then observed a screw driver sticking out of the pocket of the other suspect, Terez Wallace. A thorough search of the two was conducted and Officers found a bag containing more pieces of broken spark plug porcelain which is commonly used to break window glass. The officers also recovered from Wallace an IPod which was later identified as the one taken from a marked FHP cruiser which was burglarized. The cruiser was entered by breaking out the driver’s front window while parked in Officer’s home driveway.
Both Suspects are charged with Loitering or Prowling, Possession of burglary tools, as well as Burglary of a conveyance.
