Had a chance to come to Richmond with family to visit some friends, do a little business and go to the Mosque ( Landmark Theatre ) for a show.

Was able to sneak down stairs into the ball room and look around without arousing to much interest by security. It doesn't look any different than I remember it during the 60's. I finally got stopped by a gentlemen and we talked for a while and he said he had been at the Mosque since forever. He talked about Doug Clark and the Hotnuts, The Rhondells, Chairman of Board, and a bunch of others he had seen while working there.

Memories, Memories, nothing like a dance at the Mosque unless it was a dance at Tantilla on Broad Street.

If you get a minute to stop by, do so. Its worth the time and who knows what you might remember.

You are oh so right.  Those were the days.  Oh how I wish they could return. The only way they can return is by memories and us telling our stories of yore.

Wade,

Many thanks for posting pictures from this week's tour of Huguenot before the demolition.  The pictures bring back lots of memories of academic and PE classes, etc.  Sorry to see it go, but the old building has served its purpose.

Wade,

I appreciate you posting the pictures of the tour of HHS.  I'm glad so many classmates were able to be there.  It added a lot to the pictures.  So many memories!!!  Hate to see it go, but after all, it is 50 years old now!  Thanks again.

Thanks for posting these pictures. What a walk down memory lane! I'm in California and can't get there to see Huguenot HS in person. No one in my family lives in Virginia anymore, so its doubtful I will ever return. Thanks so much.

Wade,

I really appreciate the time you spent to take and post the "last pictures of HHS."  Even though I have moved far away and haven't had a chance to be back in Virginia since 1971, the memories of those years and our fabulous class are never far away.  What a special group and time.

Wishing all the class of '68 a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Bill Packard, our art teacher back in the day, has passed on. But I met his son, named oddly enough, Bill Packard, while getting a massage at the Midlothian YMCA. He also works out of the Midlothian Athletic Center and at Bardos Message and Wellness in the west end. He is a fantastic therapist and has helped me and my husband with a lot of chronic problems that are either a lot better, or no longer exist. You can contact him by email as well - mttables@gmail.com

Many thanks to Wayne Coleman for the info on filing with Social Security, and waiting until 70.  I turn 66 next summer and had planned to file and suspend, but Congress recently messed up those plans.  The file and restrict looks like a good option.  I've been following the discussion in the WSJ, so the recommendations make sense.  Thanks again for sharing.  Ron

Hope everyone had a chance to read the terrific story on classmate Bruce Miller, '68 that appeared in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sunday, April 10, 2016.  (See below).  Way to go Bruce!   You've had an incredible impact on thousands and thousands of young people through the years, and have added significantly to the quality of life in the Richmond area and the entire State of Virginia.  We're proud of your many successes and to have you as a member of the HHS Class of '68.  Well done!  Ron

What a wonderful story!  I grew up with Bruce at Forest Hill Presbyterian Church and at Huguenot. It was great to see him at the 2013 reunion. Thanks for posting this article.

Susan Stowell (Bowmer)

Way to go Bruce! Who would have thought being in the chorus of Paint Your Wagon at HHS would lead to a lifelong career? Mrs. Womach would have been so proud! Just like the rest of us are! Congrats!

Thanks Ron for passing along the story.

Loved reading this lovely tribute to Bruce.  Thanks for sharing!

While I try my best to be open-minded, I have to say that anyone who finds you or your work disgusting has a serious deficiency in judgment.  Congratulations on consistently raising the quality of life for everyone around you, Bruce.

Congratulations, Bruce.  Your years devoted to the theater have touched many lives in a positive way.  Just the kind of guy you are!

Bruce Miller

Thanks for the kind words.  It's been a blessing and a privilege for me to have the job I've had for the last 41 years.  Luckily I was able to keep in touch with Mrs. Waymack (a huge influence) until her death.  I had several opportunities to credit her publicly during my career, and I spoke at her funeral.  She was a great teacher.  I still see Mr. McNeer every so often, and value his influence as well.  Now that I'm stepping aside as artistic director, I'm greatly looking forward to Act II.

Bruce, I saw the article about you in the RTD on-line here in Florida. I remember your interest in theater prior to my family being transferred out of town in '67. When I moved back to Richmond in '84 my daughters attended Theater IV and loved it. My wife and I moved back to Florida in '99, but come back often to Richmond to visit children and grandchildren. Yesterday, I asked my daughter who teaches in Henrico if she still goes with her class to your presentations, and she said now you come to them. And my oldest grandson has already been exposed to Repertory Theater.  Bet you didn't know just how far flung and appreciated your good works have become. Best wishes. / Rob        ( Robbie ) Richardson

Grace Bourne (Barnes)

What a great tribute to a great man! Loved the article Bruce. My husband and I have been to a lot of the productions you have been involved with or even written and enjoyed all of them. You have a great talent and thanks for sharing it all these years. Good luck with your new endeavors!
