Hope someone can tell me name of the person in my First Grade Class (1951 Miss Blue) who is sitting next to me. I labeled everyone in the picture except him. Go figure how I could forget name of person sitting next to me. Ah, David Tracy.

Jim, Do you recall what became of Dan Hanna, where he went to college and where he later settled?

I was a fellow classmate with Dennis at Byron Junior High and shared a few classes with him. It was as a caddy with him, his brother Jim and Fred Weed and others at Canterbury Golf Club that I got to know him pretty well. He was very outgoing and had good leadership skills. Carol, I remember very well as a most humorous and very caring person. God bless you and your children and grandchildren.

From one Merkel twin to one Wolff twin, Happy Birthday! Still have fond memories of the Wolff family growing up in the Fernway District.

I recall Mary Hill Houser quite well from both classes and the Byron Junior High Swim Team. She excelled as a student and was very competitive and a solid dependable and contributing person to be friends with. My sympathy to her family and friends.
