This summer, like they do every five years, the Reynolds High School Class of 1985 will get together for a reunion. This year they will will be celebrating their 35th year away from the Greenville, Pa. school. Four of the 150 graduates—Jack Troutman, Ralph Fuchs, Jeff Kuhn and Jim Gentile— aren’t going to wait until summer to celebrate. They will do it this week at Pirate City. “I don’t ever recall four high school classmates coming to Pirate Fantasy Camp together,” coordinator Joe Billetdeaux said and then laughed. “Actually, yes I do. It was two years ago when the four of them came for the first time!” The four Reynolds Raiders stayed close after leaving high school and through the years would get together often. Coincidentally, Troutman and Gentile, unbeknownst to each other, made plans to attend fantasy camp in 2009. “I’m really not sure how that happened,” Troutman recalled. “One day Jim and I were talking and going to camp came out Jack Troutman, Jeff Kuhn, Jim Gentile, Ralph Fuchs of our mouths at just about the same time. We had a real good laugh about that.” Gentile came back to Bradenton in 2014 and Troutman the next year. When they both decided to go to the 2018 camp, they knew they had to convince the other two ‘Reynolds Boys’ to join them. Fuchs and Kuhn were on the wait list for 2018 but cleared about a month before camp. “I had the time of my life,” Troutman smiled. “Seeing Ralph and Kuhnie enjoy it as much as they did was maybe my favorite part of the week. It was nice having the four of us together.” Ironically, the one thing the four ‘Reynolds Boys’ have never done is play on the same baseball team. That will change in a matter of hours. Reynolds did not have a baseball program when they were in school so they played American Legion ball. Fuchs played on a different team than the other three. At ‘18 Pirates camp Gentile and Troutman played on the same team and Kuhn and Fuchs on another. A scheduling quirk prevented the two teams from playing against each other. Actually, there will be five ‘Reynolds Boys’ on the Pirate City fields this week as “After this year we hope it becomes an Jack Troutman will take the field together. Jack’s younger brother Tom graduated as annual event. Just keeping coming to The strange arm of fate, or maybe just Joe a Raider two years later in 1987. camp until we can’t go anymore,” Jack Billetdeaux’s pen, has the ‘Reynold’s Boys’ Troutman said. teamed together for the evaluation round.
