Note to Bill Moore... Coach Mike Feduniak was my teacher at Hialeah High School in 1971. He taught me Aviation Ground School and encouraged me to take my Private test when I turned 18, I wasn't even finished with the class. When I passed it on my first try he and I went out flying to celebrate that I missed just one question. He was a friend of mine for years to come, unfortunately we lost contact when I moved to West Palm Beach in 2004. RIP Coach, you were the best and a real patriot.

Hi Bill, sorry for the delay in responding but I'm behind in everything I do. Thank you for writing and for your comments. I'm glad you made it to the reunion and I hope you had a great time reconnecting with those attending. I really enjoyed it and the food was great on both evenings. I never knew that Coach Mike was a pilot either while at HHS but he regaled us with tales of his WWII exploits and adventures almost every Saturday when we had breakfast with him for several years. His mind was sharp as a tack up until he passed. And you're right, we were blessed that most of our teachers were top-notch; they sure weren't in the profession for the money and benefits back then. Hang in there, Bill! : ) Don .

Don, I spoke with you briefly at the HHS 50th reunion in Miami Lakes (Shula's). I look at your old Miami photos often and remember old friends. I did not know Coach Feduniak was a pilot nor that he was recommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor. We were blessed to be taught and mentored by such people. Bless them all and thank you for doing such a great job of reminding us all of whence we came.--Bill Moore

Love the picture of you and Don Shula. If Coach Shula was still the head coach, I guarantee you we wouldn't be 0-12, here in the 2007 season!!! Wayne Huizenga needs to get off the dime and rattle some cages!!

Don, This is the best site I have ever visited with some of the best pictures of our town. I am 42 and moved to Miasmi in 1970, so these pictures sure do hit a cord. Thanks, Rick Wolf
