I was one of the "last on land" graduates, completing my High School diploma in May 1970. It was while I was in the school in Sarasota that the first ship was purchased. There were only 4 or 5 in my graduating class and I think only about 18 in the entire school. The graduating class recited the "Incredible Bread Machine" as part of our commencement exercises.

I visited George and Betty Stoll at their home in Sarasota, in the early 1990s. Their daughters were in my class. My father was a friend of theirs, and that's how I learned about the school. I begged my father to loan me the money to take my senior year of High School there. Fortunately for me, he agreed to loan me the money. I paid him back by getting a job within 2 days of returning from Florida.

Here's a photo of me on a camel in the southern Israeli desert near Eliat (near the Red Sea) when I was at an ophthalmology congress there, and also installed 3 new systems throughout the country.
