Dave,

Hope you recovered - dehydrathion can sneak up on you. The climate here in WY is very dry and you have hydrate with any physical activity.

I see Don E. Rose is living in Moline according to hs profile and after a little exploring lives on 1st St. The following are a couple phone #'s (309) A.C.'s 797-5412 and 764-2788.

We used to live a few doors away from the Rose's when they lived on 12th Ave. & 53rd St.

The BB player he played with at NMU was Mel Daniels. It finally came to me because I went Black Hawk JC a couple years before gong to U of WY. Keith Smueles has a cabin a few lots down on the Big Laramie River and we have talked about when he played BB at the Hawk, Burlington JC came to Moline for a game. They had a loaded line up with notables - Mel Daniels and Bobby Jo Hill. Keith said he knew the Hawks were in trouble when Mel Daniels hit his head on the rim in warm ups.. Bobby Jo went off for 50+ that night.

The Great Spirit Willing will see you at the 80th!
Jerry,
UW Cowboys shoud have a top 25 team this year. Keith has been doing their stats at the games for years.

Good to see you at the 60th and catch up. Hope to see you at our next gathering. Have attached the photo with Kirk and fairly recent one of Geri and I on the deck of our Home in WY. Go Maroons, Jerry,

Ken,

Good to see you at the 60th (a photo from 60th and one of Geri & I at home attached). Enjoyed the conversation about how we have passed through the last 60 years - the good, the bad, and the ugly. I like you have some RVN demons, but also some good friends. Am going to try to complete "A Bright Shining Lie" by Neil Sheehan this long WY winter (780 +/- pages). It was highly recommended by a "Jarhead" RVN Grunt Friend. Will give you a short opine when I am done. And thanks to you and Ken Storm's examples will work on my MHS Class of "62" Life Bio this winter Hope to see at the next MHS Class get together. Go Maroon, Be Safe, Jerry

Ken,

It was a pleasure to see you and meet Cheryl at the the 60th. Enjoyed catching up with what has happened during the 60 years that have transpired since MHS "62". Look forward to seeing you and Cheryl at our next event. Be Safe and Good "pickin" in your pursuit of ukulele. Am looking forward to some more group sing!

Jerry,

Stuart,

late HAPPY BRITHDAY HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE 2022 CLASS REUION IN Oct.

I did not know Jim Seeley well, but I wanted to express my condolences to his family. I also wanted to express my good fortune to be part of one of Jim’s early demonstrations of his athletic ability. As a 5th grader at Ben Franklin Elementary, I tried out for the McKinley / Franklin baseball team and managed to be picked as the starting left fielder. The season progressed and we did well going undefeated. I had the chance to see some excellent athletes i.e. Jim Marsh and Jim Simon to mention two that I can remember. We won our league and were scheduled to play for the Moline Elementary School Baseball Championship. We were to play Irving, who I learned from Keith Smueles (MHS Class of “61”) a neighbor here in Laramie, WY, was where Jim Seeley went to Elementary School. The memory is slipping, but here is my remembrance. McKinley–Franklin versus Irving was a game of two legendary MHS future athletes - Jim Seeley, pitching for Irving and Curt Cook, pitching for McKinley-Franklin. I don’t remember the final score, but do remember M-F won the game. I also remember with these two (2) great pitchers dueling, it was a tense and low scoring game. Rest in Peace - Jim
