Meridian High Wildcats '58: Bobby Joe Toland

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Bobby Joe Toland - Autobiography

New Port Richey, FL

Diane and I still reside in Florida. She is still working (administrator at assisted living facility), and I am still retired. I play golf (ha-ha) and fish when the weather permits. We travel a good bit and see the kids - Bob Jr., Nicole, and Kris, in Atlanta often. Also see the grandkids when we can catch them. The grandson is in second year college, and two granddaughters graduate from high school this year and start college in the fall. Our little granddaughter 6 yrs old just started school. I look forward to seeing everyone in October.
