Occupation: Teacher - Grade 8 Social Studies
Biography: Really enjoyed our reunion (30 +1)and many thanks
to Jeff Martin for pulling it all together.
Getting that personal phone call was absolutely wonderful! It was so
nice to be included!! I attended
Andrew Street School and then GBHS until the end of ninth grade. Between
10th and 11th grade, I was
part of an exchange group who went to Germany. Being part of the first
basketball team, softball team, and
other "firsts" was really fun! My fondest memories were the musicals......Plain
and Fancy, West Side Story,
South Pacific...for such a small school.....we certainly put on a great
show! We have three children; 1 boy,
two girls, and all but one are out of the house (The last one leaves
this fall). One married, two in college and
now we are approaching our silver wedding anniversary. We can't possibly
be that old! I am now winding
down my own career in education, having been a social studies teacher,
guidance counselor and assistant
principal and recently returning to the classroom. I do believe my
experience at GBHS certainly "shaped"
my career choice. I have truly loved being an educator!

Ed Galbavy
Class of 1977
Address: 2199 Astor St., Orange Park, FL 32073
Name Of Spouse: Karen
Occupation: Project Manager
Employer: NAVFAC Southeast
Biography: It's been a while since I updated my bio. Some things haven't
changed.
I'm still married to Karen and we are going on 22 years. I'm also still
employed by
the Navy, but at a new address. In 2005, our office in Charleston
was told that it
was moving to Jacksonville, FL in 2008. I had a choice of moving with
my job, or
take an early retirement. I opted to move to Jacksonville. I am a project
manager
responsible for building facilities at the Marine Corps base at Parris
Island, SC.
My golf career was doing well in 2007. I won two South Carolina Golf
Association
tournaments. And since, I've placed in other tournaments. Since moving
to Jacksonville,
it has been a transition, but since I recently turned 50, I'm looking
forward to playing
from the front tees. As for other news, many of you knew Mom from around
the
cafeteria and school. She sold the house in Green Brook in 1997 and
moved down
to Charleston near the beach. She was diagnosed with cancer and unfortunately,
she
passed away on Dec. 31, 1999. Last year, I got together with Ror, Kenny,
Edger,
Paul and Joe for a weekend in Atlantic City. It was a great time and
I hope we do it
again. Other than that, Thanks to Lex for keeping this site going.
It's really hard to
fathom that everyone from 1977 is turning 50 either this year or soon.

813-956-1742
Name of Spouse: Malea, married 5/16/92
Children: 1 - Noah, born 3/6/99
Occupation: Self-employed
Biography: Graduated in '83. Screwed around with college,
'83-'85. Instead of quitting cold turkey,
I just gradually decreased my courseload until I had no credits!!!
When you do it that way, you only
get beaten within yards, not inches of your life!! I did manage
to get an AA 13 years after graduating
GBHS. Mom's so proud of my rapid, monumental progress and accomplishment.
Oh, and I was only
kidding about the beatings!!! Screwed around with life
in general due mostly to youthful delusions of
immortality and youthful naiveté, '85-'92. Notable
highlights were doing a (very) limited-funded cross
country trip with a friend and classmate, living out of the back of
an '86 Toyota pick-up truck, and
playing drums in an original band called the Skulls. We
played in most of the dives in NJ/NYC and
a few dumps in PA and beyond. Our entire family moved out
of NJ to FLA in '86 (Brandon area,
outside of Tampa), where we remain (except sister Nikki who opted for
NYC) to this day.
In '92 I married Malea, who is definitely the better half, and proves
the existence of a God (you have to
believe. I couldn't have done that well without some kind of
divine being being involved!!!). Started getting
somewhat serious after that in order to keep the ring on the finger,
upgraded to moderately serious about
life in the mid '90's. Funny how marriage and a kid helps
you get your focus!!! Our son Noah was born
in early '99. In '01, started a part-time, after-hours cleaning
business. That eventually evolved into the full-time
pressure washing and roof cleaning business that Malea and I
run now (www.Specialtypressure.com).
Self-employment has been good.
God has been most patient and most merciful to me. Where I was
once the center of my little world, Jesus
Christ has taken my place. Now I'm just happy to be SomeguynamedFrank.
Christ has brought contentment,
and has made a difference in my life; and I would simply encourage
the following to anyone: Don't shut Him
out. Give him an opportunity to come into your life and work in your
life. He can make a good existence even
better; as no amount of money can buy the peace, joy, and hope that
Jesus brings.

was
more to life than sex, drugs and rock and roll. In 1983 I trusted Christ
as my Savior and my life radically changed. The Lord called me
into the
ministry in 1988. At that time I was a Union Sheet Metal Worker.
I
quit my job, went to Philadelphia College of Bible where I received
my
Bachelor's and my Master's Degree. I have now been in the Ministry
for
the last 16 years, and am Presently the Senior Pastor of Abundant Life
Community Church. I am married to a wonderful woman named Jamie,

have four beautiful children.

Valley Community College and was also a nanny for several years for
a

During the course of time in 1997, my father passed away in July, and
I
was getting married in September. My husband, Steve and I, bought my
father's house because I wanted to stay in Green Brook. At this
time, I
brought my grandmother to NJ from Pennsylvania to take care of her,
because she had alzheimers.
In November of 1998, I gave birth to the most amazing little guy, Steven
Jr. Three years after that, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter,
Marissa. My son just started kindergarten this year - and low
and
behold, his teacher is none other than one of Green Brook's finest
ladies, Mrs. Richardson.
My children are the light of my life and I cherish every moment that
I
have with raising them. I hope they enjoy growing up in Green
Brook as
much as I have.

part of the Greenbrook Rescue Squad! On my days off I tinker around
buying, fixing up, and selling homes and commercial properties.
Lately I've been splitting my time between Sarasota and Key West. In
my

fishing in Key West in my 28 Bertram. I was married for a while, but
that didn't work, now I'm single (hence all the toys!) and pretty much
