I retired from the USAF in early 1999 and due to job requirements moved to Atlanta, GA  with Delta Air Lines.  As the biggest and busiest commute system in the world I started running into many familiar faces.  After a few years in the area forcing myself to like GA one-by-one I started running into some old familiar faces from Westbury.  I believe it was my third year here after getting together with the gang, (Kenny Waterman, Bobby Latimer, Michael Garland, Reggie Grange, Daryl Stewart and Mark Gillum) as I call us, I ran it by them to have a get together in a neutral park to try and pull together other Westburites.. and so it began Westbury in Atlanta.  It started out with folks in the Metro Atlanta area and North Carolina and has touched such places as Augusta, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Upstate NY and even Westbury to our gathering.  We meet in Stone Mountain Park at a picinic area off of Robert E. Lee Blvd the third Saturday in August from early afternoon till dark (when the park displays fire works on the mountain).  With the lose of one of our sisters (Eileen Robinson) we emphaze more why we need to come together to socialize with our Westbury family….to put it simply, tomorrow is not promised to any of us!  I get excited seeing all of my Westbury family members and even more so when more come out to get together.  So this is why I think this website is so important and why we need to share it with more Westbury High School alumni’s……to reach out and touch each other.
