It is with a heavy heart that I advise that Tommy Wallace Class of 1958 passed away in Bradenton, Florida on 12-20-24.  He loved his College Park Family.  We have been retired here for 12 years where Tommy enjoyed golfing and traveling.  He will be greatly missed.   Pam Wallace

Dan Bruce: I find ice cream is a very formidable competitor!

Scott Brook (1970)

Try the ice cream at Scoops in Fayetteville.  I understand it's great ice cream, and is owned by a fellow allumni of CPHS.

Robin W. Flake (1967)

I learned earlier today of David Wold's passing. We have been friends since the 5th grade at Newten Estates Elementary. Growing up, we played football and baseball together—a great friend. 

The funeral service will be Feb 21, 2026, at Transfiguration Catholic Church on Blackwell Rd. in Marietta, GA.

Charles (Tony) Perkins (1965)

Sorry to here about David, I knew you both even though you were a couple of years younger. My condolences go out to David's family and friends.

Michael Bacon (1968)

'Back in the day' there was a pickup football game on Sunday afternoon at the park on Rugby. I was too small to play football, but I did play on the Baseball team. On one of those afternoons I somehow managed to tackle and bring David Wold down. On the next play he said to his teammates, "Just give me the ball." David came right at me, and everyone said his knees kept pumping as I continued bouncing up and down as 'we' continued on down the field. Everyone laughed, but I again brought him down. After rising David walked over and extended his hand and helped me to stand up... I will admit to being more than a little bruised and contused... It later got back to me that David had said about me, "I've got as much respect for that little guy as anyone I've played ball with because HE DON'T QUIT!"
R.I.P. Mr. Football 

David L. Brown (1959)

Yes!  I liked it better back in the good old days when I was smarter than my telephone, car, and TV.

Michael Bacon (1968)

Dan,

You are on to something when writing about the "...precocious ten-year-old"... When working at the Atlanta Chess Center 'back in the day' one of the Chess dads informed me that "All the boys like you because they say you are not a 'know it all' and that they like the fact you learn from them." That's right, I 'picked their brains' and learned how to use a computer. If there are any youngsters in your life, ask them and they will appreciate your asking for their assistance.

Nice silhouette, Danny! Glad you didn't attempt that climb alone!

Michael Bacon (1968)

I liked the picture so much it was placed on my skroll, which makes it the second time I've put a picture of Mr. Bruce on the skroll. The Springer Mountain pic was the first.

Thomas Marshall Miller (1958)

Ward, your message reminded me of the book by Bill Curry (1960), "Ten Men You Meet in the Huddle: Lessons from a Football Life," where he tells of being deprived of water during practices in the NFL under Vince Lombardi, to build endurance.  Bill said, "It's a wonder that we didn't die."  It's a great book, available on Amazon.  

Nancy Shaddix (Pickering) (1974)

I have that book by Bill Curry.   My Dad, Jesse W. Shaddix, is mentioned in that book.  Dad coached Bill Curry in high school.  Bill visited Dad not too long before he passed away.  Dad really appreciated that visit.
