Ken, Wish you Happy 81st Birthday and hope to see you in 2025 to reminisce the past, discuss the present and look forward to the future. Jerry & Geri,

I had a great conversation with Jesse at the 60th Reunion.  He mentioned he was still doing electrical work for people in need.  He was always an exhuburant person person with q great smile.  I wrestled one year and remember Jesse as a fierce competitor whose great smile would prevail even while he was wiping the mat with  me.  RIP  & Sempe Fi  

Mary Jane, I seem to be belated for more & more things these days :) - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My & Geri's condolences on Gary's passing this past fall.

Phil,

HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY!!! You & Ruth have great CR celebration.

Friend, Classmate, Fellow Marine, Comrade in Arms,
Jerry,

I didn’t know Stuart (Stu, Mott) well at MHS except to know he was person who was full of life and enjoyed having FUN with friends!   A mutual MHS friend Tom Ewing knew Stuart far better than me and said he was that but was much more.

I got to know Stuart better because we had a less than 6 degrees commonality.  We were both FAA Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCS). Stuart was a tower controller, and I was an enroute ATCS.  We both participated in the PATCO Strike in August 1981 and never looked back.  

We got connected at the next MHS Class of “62” Reunion and talked about where life had taken since August 2, 1981.   Stuart had made a career change that had him very excited about the ability to grow in the medical profession.  He had developed some new medical techniques and published the information. 

We kept in touch occasionally via calls and emails.  I sent him a 40^th anniversary T-shirt of the PATCO Strike and we discussed attending the MHS Class of “62” - 60^th Reunion.  It was great to see him at the 60^th and he gave me a PATCO hat.  We had one catch up call since the 60^th.  He indicated he was fighting health problems.  I encouraged him and knew he was not one to capitulate easily.

My condolences to his Family, I will miss Stuart and know his exuberant spirit will roam the cosmos forever.

Jerry,

Ken,

Stuart, HAPPY BIRTHDAY - I understand the 80th is a real milestone that makes one a 1%er. Hope to see you at our MHS 80th BD in the QCA!

P.S. Your BD on the 12th is just after my Grandson's on the 11th. That should help!

Rich,

Great to see you on PBS Newsletter. I now can say, I played baseball with a famous Professor and Foreign Affairs Expert. Enjoyed your expert thoughts on a world that appears to be in chaos everywhere like a squeeze play at the plate. Look forward to seeing you on PBS again.

Rick,      

Just a Thought,                     

MHS Class of “62” web site comments by classmate Ken Storm stimulated an idea. After Ron Bernat’s passing, Ken wrote how interesting it was to find out how multi-faceted Ron’s life had been and that it would be nice to have information about classmates prior to their passing.

Ken, Jennifer, and I sat together at the Saturday night dinner dance at the 60th. I mentioned to Ken that his personal MHS Class of “62” page was great and gave insight to how a classmate had lived his life after MHS graduation.

It seems that it might be time to try to reinvigorate a Classmate Outreach Program. It would be outreach not be intrusive and would have the approval of the classmate or heir(s). The purpose is to hopefully know our Classmates better.
Present active web site members would reach out to Class members, who are not active members, to see if the non-member will either submit a life brief themselves to the MHS Class of “62” web site or give their approved information to the contacting classmate for submittal.

The thought is an attempt to get profiles on every MHS Class of 1962 graduate or classmate, a worthy goal for an “Outstanding” class.

The above idea is just a draft, but I wondered if you could pass it by the Reunion Organizers and local QCA Class group that meet periodically for their thoughts.

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.
