F.H.S. Alumni: Tobi R. Gritz '62 Memorial
By Anonymous — Wednesday, August 1st, 2012
A note from the Gritz Family to Alumni members, Fillmore residents, and class of '62. We hope you and the entire HS '62 classmates will join us August 18th, at 2:00pm for a celebration on the grounds of the High School in Fillmore. A wonderful team of Scouts, Harold Foy ('70), of Fillmore Building Supply, family, and friends have worked to renovate the redwood Tree Memorial for Toby R. Gritz. Landscaping, benches, and more have been installed over the summer. The crowning point will be a lovely bronze plaque unveiled on the 18th depicting a smiling Toby and his Marine Cobra gunship. Roberto Munoz, son of Mike ('70) and Janey Munoz has worked tirelessly and selflessly on the site as an Eagle Scout project for Troop 406. A Marine Color Guard from Camp Pendleton will begin the short celebration. Family members from around the country will provide personal perceptive and friends and supporters will reinforce the theme of Forever 25. Brother Rocky will sing an enduring family song our Mom wrote for Toby. Refreshments will be served immediately after the event at Central Grill. Please join us and celebrate Toby. It'll be a great time to get together and rekindle friendships. Questions? Please contact Bob (Gritz) Mackenzie 360-239-4465. |
