I am very sad to hear about Kay.  We had such good times in our P.E. classes together.  She had so much energy.

I can remember the very minute that you dislocated your ankle at second base at Wilson.
Wow!

Larry, thanks for your help getting access to the HHS site. It seems like the older we get, the more nostalgic we get. Sent some emails to Terry, Larry and Charlie so I hope they respond in some way. My cell # is 850-251-2090 and would welcome a call anytime. Thanks again.

Hey Larry. Lee Jackson from Woodrow Wilson days. Larry Wyatt gave me access to the HHS site so I could contact some of my old classmates. It’s only been 50+ years ! You can text me or call at 850-251-2090. Hope we can talk.

May you have many, many more!

If today is thank a teacher day, I would like to pay my respects to two Highland HS teachers (Albuquerque) and one University of New Mexico professor. My creative writing teacher, Richard Ness, in my senior year at HHS was a no nonsense educator who pushed and encouraged those who listened. An early assignment was for us to explicate Evangeline (YIKES!). Also at HHS, Wally Cleaveland, my band director provided three years of challenging and enjoyable band literature and four years later accepted me as his student teacher on my way to my future career. Bill Seymour, chairman of the music department at UNM, during my last semester of graduate work, accepted me as his student which enabled me to finish my thesis when another brand new prof. wanted me to start over! These three gentlemen were standouts in a group of wonderful and masterful educators that inspired me in my formative years of music education. Thank you!

Sending best wishes to all my classmates of the class of '64. We were a terrific class with many wonderful honors and good times. Blessings to you all as we travel through our 70's and beyond. Prayers for those who have passed on.

Happy Birthday Gene! You were always such a gentleman and great friend in high school; it's no wonder you became a military leader. Thanks for your friendship in high school and your military service.
Bill

Happy Birthday, Mike Smith. You're still an incredible driving instructor ( taught me how to drive in the good-old daze). Lifetime of great memories!

I, too, am sorry to hear about Becky.  I knew her since the 5th grade.  She was always such a funny, sweet little person.
