Comments:

Spent the 1960's & 1970's in education, the 1970's in law enforcement, the 1980's in criminal investigation and security management and 1990 - 2006 in law enforcement. Spent a lot of time fishing in Minnesota and bought a lake cabin up there in 2006. Linda and I frequently travel to the New Jersey coast and Seattle to see relatatives. Enjoy staying in contact with several classmates and getting together for pizza!!

School Story:

Still remember someone putting a rubber snake in Bob Bibb's football locker after practice. When he opened his locker I couldn't believe someone could actually jump that high off the floor!

Remember October 1957, sitting on the Marshall Motor Coach team bus waiting to come home from the Newton football game and listening to the first radio reports of the Soviet Union's launching of "sputnik".

And lastly, I still remember sitting in our last school assembly and someone emptying a bag of marbles on the floor of the back row and listening to them all bounching off the wrought iron legs on the seats as they made their way from the back row down to the front row and then across the front of the floor until they bounched off the front of the stage.

Sorry to hear of Jean's passing.  Remember her dad building a tall unattached building and putting a trampoline in side.  Spent many days jumping on that trampoline.  During a Bobcat basketball half time at the Colliseum Jean jumpeded on the trampoline in front of the half time crowd.  Nice memories of Jean.  She was a good person.

Will miss JoAnn's greeting at the class reunions.  She was also very good at letting me know when someone was coming back to M'town for a few days.  Going to miss our classmate.

Sorry to hear of Mary's passing.  She lived near Doug Graham near 8th and Nevada streets and along with Mary's brother Bob, Doug and I would play football in the street under the street light. Mary was a tough competitor.  Mary was a very nice person to know.

Thoughts and prayers to Bev and the family.  Zillions of memories of all the things Pat, Pat Barker and I did back at MHS.  Pat was a great guy.

I did not know Rochelle very well at all back in school but from reading the comments it seems that it is my loss for not knowing her better.  I'm glad for those of you who knew her so well.

I am very sorry to hear of Avonelle's passing but have the comfort of knowing that through out her life that Jesus was at the center of her heart.  As kids, our families were close and we spend many times together through church activies, school and famiy get togethers.  I will miss her sage advise that always began, "Gary, you know.....".  She will be greatly missed.
