Gone Fishen

Want to go fishing  ? Come on down lets go , forget the golf clubs bring your fishing poles.!!............       My name is Louis L. "Buddy" Garay  .  I was born and grew up in Elbert # 7 , Wv. We left during the middle of my sophomore year  in 1961, we moved to Md. Where I graduated from Bladensburg High School in 1964. I completed 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and I am now retired and living in Belen,New Mexico.Contrary to popular belief NM is one of the United States  its in between Texas and Arizona.  I live here with my wife Elise,she is from Nicaragua and our daughter Naida .      I started this website because at the time it looked like the old original GHS website was about to go down. Also I thought I could get a lot of input from GHS alumni to make a very good site , photos , stories and other info. It seems I was wrong about this the input I was expecting has never matarialized.  For awhile I did get a good amount of info and photos from several devoted people but not the amount from a lot of different folks I was expecting, so as a result this site is starting to go flat.   For awhile this site was getting over a hundred hits a day, the average is now below forty hits a day and the amount of folks signing in on the guestbook has dropped way off. ...........I have tried several different things to get folks interested in participating in the site so far nothing has worked, it seems the old GHS spirit is gone , its fading because of time and folks getting older and less interested.  Actually its kind of sad.........My thanks goes out to the ones that are frequent viewers, thanks for your support.    If anyone has a good idea for a new page to be added please let me know. Thanks for your support.      Louis "Buddy" Garay  1-4-07
