John "Jay Dee" Hoskins Founder & Chief Indians Trifecta Reunion
God put it on my heart to do something a little different. During my first several years, I was moved around to quite a lot of schools. In December of 1972, my family moved to Adams street and I was at a another new school (Ottawa Hills Elementary) and again was the new kid. The good thing was, I stayed there for the rest of that year and the following two years and formed a relationship with a lot of students and teachers that still exist to this day.
Then I entered Iroquois Middle school, and although it was another new school; I entered with a lot of the same people that I had known for over two years. The same happened with Ottawa Hills High School in 1977. This reunion was inspired by the loss of a dear friend, Derrick Dennis Taylor, on the basketball court at Iroquois Middle School, on March 24, 1977, during a Student/Faculty Basketball Game. We have lost so many students and faculty over the years, and before we lose any more, God has given me the honor of reuniting some of the people that were involved with these three schools. These people have touched my heart, and just like these schools, are a part of me. Therefore, I would like to invite you and your families to join me and a great group of people (The Indians Trifecta Reunion Committee) at The Indians Trifecta Reunion, joining together the three schools that mean so much to me.
Please enjoy our brand new website and sign up for the reunion. Feel free to pass any information on to anyone who worked, attended, or volunteered at Ottawa Hills Elementary, Iroquois Middle, or Ottawa Hills High School. Anyone involved with either of these three schools in anyway, at any time, is encouraged to participate.; i.e. teachers, students, custodians, security, etc. Also, feel free to bring photos, articles, memory books and yearbooks from these times and even recent times, so that we can share them with each other.
Thank you and God bless,
