Happy birthday Ronnie!

Hope you had a great birthday dear.

I remember Richard as a nice guy at Highland, but unfortunately never kept up with him after we graduated.  In just reading about his interests, as well as his outstanding education and career achievements, I am honored to have known him.  The world will miss such an accomplished person.

Saw Stone many times in past twenty years at the golf club where he worked for many years, and had great conversations about the old days, as well as the new ones.  He was so energetic, and so loved by his fellow employees at Cypress Point Club-----just the same great guy we always knew.

We talked about his kidney disease and I tried to get him into a couple of hospitals where he could be properly treated---to no avail.  Knew it was getting bad the last time I saw him.

He loved his time at HHS, and had great memories---would just rattle off names and we would laugh as we thought of each classmate..  So do we all have great memories---We'll take State and even more, we're the Class of '64.  Thanks Terry for what you did for us under those Friday night lights..........RIP my friend

Hope you are having a wonderful 75th birthday! Who would have thought we would be where we are today? Wish we could have one last reunion to see everyone. Have a great retirement!

Terry and I moved into the same neighborhood and attended Emerson Elementary School. We were in fifth grade, our teacher was Mrs. Knight. We quickly became friends. I don't remember whose idea it was but we decided to make a zip-line. There was an electrical pole near the cinder block wall in Terry's backyard with metal bolts so it was easy to climb up the electrical pole. We needed a cable but the cable cost more than we expected. So that led to gathering old newspapers from the neighborhood. We then tied the newspapers up in rolls, tying them together with string. We sold them to a moving van company on Central Ave & San Pedro NE. We purchased the thick steel cable and staked it to the ground in Terry's backyard. We climbed up the electrical pole, grabbed ahold of the metal ring, and ripped down the zip-line. I am saddened to hear about Terry's death. Rest In Peace Terry.

Sorry to inform you that Denny Collins passedaway on July 27th 2020. He truly missed

Gene was a loyal friend to all of us that he knew.  I had many good times with Gene and could always count on his advice and level-headedness.  Blessings to his family.

Have a great birthday! We've made it to this old age and are thriving! Looks like you are very happy!

Have a great birthday! Glad you have so many great houses. I love Chama - we do a road trip every year that includes going there and staying in a very old hotel on the river. Growing up, we would go to Chama and stay in some cabins and go fishing. every summer. There's not much there that I recognize, but the food at that lodge is really good.

You've had a good life! Like your story. Hope you are able to celebrate today with friends and family! Have a healthy new year and stay safe.

Hi Stephanie. It's a nice surprise to see that you commented on this site. How are you and Greg doing? I moved to Scottsdale about 18 years ago and so never bump into old friend like Greg and you. Tell me what's going on in your lives.

Kevin -
I like your comment about Cissy King. I knew her because a good friend of mine, Greg With, dated her. Cissy was always so nice to everyone. (Cissy, I'm ssure you are just as nice and pretty today!) In the 70's,I did watch the Lawrence Welk Show just to see her. As I recall, another pair were the featured dancers but then that woman left and Cissy replaced her in the featured pair. One of our class stars!

Great and interesting life!
