Class of 1963 Golf Outing
“If we build it,
they will come” must have referred to the
CCHS Class of ’63 annual golf outing. A
stellar effort by all involved – sponsors, players,
and the motivating spirit of a great class!
Joining us were fi rst-timers and soon to be
regulars Dennis Bolbach, Phil Hoag, “Texas”
Jay Wodarski, John Mullin, and Dario
“Drummer” Insenga. If the guys bring the
wives, it must be something special! Chris
Keller, Marsha Ray, Mary Toeppe, and Elizabeth
Zavac golfed and dined with us at the South
Toledo Golf Club. Some 22 hole sponsors
provided gifts for the golfers, prize money for
designated holes, drawing prizes (Kodak digital
camera, 32-inch HD Plasma T.V.), and a
portion was given to CCHS. The trophies and
the inscription on the coveted continuation
plaque went to the loaded team of Tommy
Kwiatkowski., Jim Hahn, Tim McGuire, and
Bryan Jones. Thanks Moms - Donna Hoag
and Kate Ginter - for drawing the grand prize,
and a special thanks to Barb Rogers and Linda
Holt for the video and photos capturing this
year’s outing. Congratulations to all!

After the fall issue of Scarlet and Gray included
the story of William Rhodus ’75 receiving the
Purple Heart award at the Sylvania Police
Division Awards ceremony in March, Bill and
his wife Ann sent the following note…
“When Bill and I saw the article in the last
issue of Scarlet and Gray, we wanted to share
the bigger picture of the journey we took prior
to the Purple Heart Award. As appreciative as
Bill was of the nomination by his peers for this
prestigious award, it still paled in comparison
to the journey we went through with his life
threatening injury. After an agonizing week in
the hospital, Bill needed to have surgery. As it
turned out, Bill’s injury was more severe than
what the physicians originally thought.
“There are two things we would like to share.
First, Bill has had a full recovery and returned
to work just four months after the accident.
Secondly, and most importantly, Bill and I felt
the power of prayer. As odd as this may sound,
this journey that we went on was a blessing
from God in so many ways and on so many
levels. We would like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone for all their prayers. Never
underestimate the power of prayer.” - Bill and
Ann Rhodus
The Scarlet and Gray would also like to note
that although Bill is a member of the
committee that accepts and reviews
nominations for the Police Division Awards,
protocol requires that if a member of the
committee is nominated, the nominee is asked
to leave the room. The nominee cannot vote on
his or her nomination. Also, because Bill chairs
the committee, he cannot vote on any nominee
unless there is a tie. In Bill’s case, the vote was
unanimous.
