Mike Lockwood excelled on the Varsity Football Team, the Varsity Soccer Team and the Varsity Baseball Team. In Football he was awarded the Most Improved Player Award in grade 11 and the following year was honored with the Athlete of Distinction Award.

He took the 1989 Varsity Soccer team to the State Semifinals that year and had the pleasure of having his younger brother, Darin '89, as a senior on the team. Currently the Director of Information Technology for Harris Cotherman Jones Price and Associates, and a parent of a 2007 graduate, Austin, Mike lives in Vero with his wife of twenty years, Deb. For the past twenty years he has run an open gym for volleyball at Saint Edward's. All of the funds collected from the open gym are donated to a scholarship for the children of alumni at Saint Edward's School.
 Danny Colontrelle played Varsity Football, Basketball, Lacrosse and Baseball at Saint Edward's and captained the Football, Basketball and Lacrosse teams in his Senior year. In 1996 Danny was named to the All Area 1st Team for Football by the Press Journal and received Honorable Mention for All State Football. In 1997 he was named to the All Area 1st team in Football and Basketball and received Honorable Mention for All State for the second time in Football. In 1998 he was named to the All Area 1st team in Basketball and received Honorable Mention for All State in Basketball as well as being named to the All State 1st team in Lacrosse. Danny signed to play Football at WestPoint, and graduated from the United States Military Academy in 2002.

SAVINGS TIP OF THE WEEK!
"A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED." 
This tip comes from Benjamin Franklin and it's just as true today as it was in the 18th century. Pay yourself the "pennies" saved from these minor expenses (Actually put them in a jar.) and the annual savings will go a long way toward paying your Christmas bills!
(Figures are approximate and are based on averages.)
Pack a lunch ($3.00)instead of lunch out ($6.50) for 20 days each month = $840
If you smoke a pack ($5) a day, quit. (You know you should anyway!) =$1,825
No "latte" ($2.00) a day for 20 days = $480
Carpool and share gas expenses = ????? |

Local artist, Barbara Sharp's Born in the USA butterfly, fetched a whopping $32,000 for St. Louis Barnes-Jewish Hospital's pediatric hospice and palliative care Wings. Her 4 foot x 5 foot butterfly displayed elements of the American heritage that represents the pride and graciousness of freedom. It was adorned with paintings, glass beads and mosaic pieces creating the Statue of Liberty, American flag, an eagle, the four presidents of Mt. Rushmore with skyrocketing fireworks, seals of the Armed Services and more. It was purchased by a private buyer who has donated it to the USO at the Lambert Airport in St. Louis. FLASH is so proud of Barbara and congratulates her on a job well done! What a fitting piece of art for our July 4th issue! AMAZING! |

ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION
The two were the 2nd President, John Adams, and the 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson. They both died on July 4, 1826. Adams was almost 91 and Jefferson was 83, - way beyond the life expectancy of that era. The political and ideological divide between Adams and Jefferson is one that, as a country, we're still struggling to overcome. For those of you that may have forgotten your American history, Adams was a Federalist and believed that the country needed a strong, central government because he was convinced that the republican values that precipitated the revolution would likely lead to a dissolution of the newly formed, and highly volatile, United States. Jefferson, on the other hand, firmly believed in self-government and viewed a strong, centralized government as tantamount to tyranny.
(Sounds like they could be running in 2012, doesn't it?)
