Comments:

We split our year between The Villages, Florida, in the winter and Holland, Michigan, in the summer.
After MHS I went to the University of Dubuque, played football and graduated with a Business Administration degree in 1966. Married Sylvia (Olson)(MHS '62) on August 6, 1966 and then went into the USAF from '66 to '71. Came out a Captain. Worked for John Deere for 30+ years. Retired since 2004. Served two terms as a Moline alderman. Served on Moline Plan Commission and on the Moline Police and Fire Commission.

School Story:

I met Sylvia in Miss Hulse's Chemistry class our junior year. We first went out right before our senior year. We kept seeing each other through college, even though Sylvia went to Western Illinois University and I went to Dubuque. We both graduated in 1966 and got married in August of that year. Good ol' Miss Hulse.

So many memories over so many years. Too many to recall here. Just want to say that Jesse always had a smile and a welcoming manner. He and Tilli were fun, but more importantly, they were/are good friends. They have many. Our condolences to the family.

Here are a couple of pictures Celia (Smithers) Venable sent of a Canadian canoe trip she took with Carol and Jill Morgan in 1960.  The smiles are a wonderful indicator of how much life was enjoyed in our youth.

For some reason I have this picture of "High School" Carol, on the right, having some fun with two friends from MHS Class of 1962.  She was a fun person to be around and a very good friend of Sylvia's and mine.  I'm happy she has such a fine family, but will miss not being able to see her again here on earth.

According to our senior yearbook, Tony (who was listed by his given name of Wilton) was active in the followiing things during his time at MHS.  Hopefully, Phil Nissen, you'll be able to say, "Oh, that's where I remember him from!"  I agree that Tony was a well-mannered and well-liked guy.

It’s good that life provides us more time to enjoy than to grieve. You and Kathy had a long time together and that time was obviously joyous. You did a wonderful job of honoring her life. Wishing you well.

Happy birthday Rick!! We’ve had many great times at MHS and after. Have a great day and thanks for this web site.

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

Thanks to Clark Miner for providing some information about Larry A. Duncan.
We've updated Larry's file to show that he passed away in 2002 at the age of 58.
The picture of him is from our 1960 yearbook when he was a sophomore at MHS.
The picture of his grave and additional information is from "Find a Grave"

HI, Jim. Rick Court says Danny Jefferies is trying to get a hold of you.
I'm going to wish you an early birthday, too. Hard to believe we're going to be ... as old as we are! (Also, I got a kick out of your comment about having a good seat at the Moline basketball games!) Take care.

Your comments on Mary Walleart’s page were right on, Ken. She and George were tops. Gonna miss them.

Mary was one of Sylvia's "Moline" friends since their school days to their last days together having spent many "club" times together along with all the others who enjoyed their mutual friendships.  Mary and George threw the best gatherings and had the best real life stories.  Two more really good friends you couldn't have.  Mary's most enduring quality may have been that she took people as they were.  She really liked others.
