Comments:

Owned and operated Clark Miner Const. for 33 years. Started with John Deere in 2006. Retired 2015. Dianne and I have 10 grand children now. Four in Minnisota, four in Orion, Illinois and 2 in Golden, Colorado. Dianne and I likd to travel and enjoy cruzing in our '64 T bird. Much of our time is spent around our kids and their kids. I love fly fishing but don't do much of it. I like mowing grass, but don't have much of it. I like to bike ride, but don't seem to make time for it much any more.
Some times I sit and think, and some times I just sit. Life is good, but I am sure glad that this age didn't come any sooner than it did.
Dianne died Oct 15, 2015 after more than a 4 year battle with cancer.
Married Kate (Kathleen) Kelly (Rocky-grad.) Dec. 11, 2016 She has 1 daughter-in-law (her son, Greg Geyer, unfortunately died in 2017) and 2 grand children.

Happy Birthday Rick. Thanks so very much for the wonderful web site for our ‘62’ class.
I read it every morning. I too liked Miss Hulse. I’m glad she was there to help merge you with Sylvia. I all ways felt you were a “good guy”. Clark

Mary Jane. I just read your note to Karen.
I wish you quick and complete healing from your recent heart surgery. I’m living proof of the miraculous ability doctors are able to repair our worn bodies. My best wishes to You. And prayers for your recovery.

Karen. Happy Birthday.
Your info was fun to read. The U.P. of MI. is a wonderful place. My favorite town name to say is “ Escanaba”. It just seems to roll off the tongue.
I love the forests!! And the Iron range, and the history of Houton.
The comment of the “ loons” instantly went to “ On Golden Pond”.
