This is a great way for those who couldn't attend this time to get caught up with our class. A donation of $20 will cover his professional editing and sound studio costs and shipping and make a small contribution to a startup fund for the next reunion.

Pam Pleier Binder and Jim Binder and Scott Rhoads
 


Our classmate Scott Rhoads and his wife Marit Thomas (also SHS'65) were killed in the 1996 crash of TWA flight 800 off the coast of Long Island. Marit, a TWA attendant, was working on the Paris bound flight. They were going to take a quick 3 day holiday in Paris before school started. Scott was the varsity wrestling coach at Newport High for 15 years.
At the time of his death, he was also the football team's linebacker coach and the girl's varsity softball coach. Scott was also very active in local Little League and youth football associations over the years.
A group of Scott's friends and his daughter and son have established a foundation to help local graduating seniors with college tuition. The goal of the Rhoads foundation is to increase the number and amount of scholarships awarded each year. Proceeds from this golf tournament are managed to establish an endowment fund to perpetuate Scott's memory.

Ball? What Ball? Did you see a ball? I didn't see any ball.

and to keep alive Scott's passion for helping kids fulfill their athletic dreams.
