Comments:

I can't find in this profile update where i can update my residence. We are now residing in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. (2017)

This website is a GREAT idea. I hope it works. I, too, know next to nothing about this hi-tech stuff. Somtimes I feel the world is passing me by, but I certainly do not feel old -- and I'M NOT! But can you believe 50 years have passed since our last days at FHS?

Hope to hear (read) about you here.

School Story:

Too many to single out any one. The five years at FHS were some of the very best of my life. I have such wonderful memories.

After-thoughts:
Band, orchestra, choir; Being Student Conductor, Aden Long, Bob Butz,
Chief Farrell, Hattie Campbell
Basketball games and Friday night dances, marching to Stott Field for football games
Big Broadcast
Proms
And, yes, all the winter activities

I carried a picture of Janet in my wallet for years.  Time spent with her was wonerful, and I think of her often.  I was sorry when she moved away.  I'll always say that her formative years in Frankfort made her who she was -- a very special person.

Pam was such a good friend all through high school.  I was delighted when she became part of the family by marrying Date.  We lost connection but reconnected at our 50th reunion. Pam had not changed a bit -- in looks, personality, and singing.  I always admired her!  Rest in Peace, Pam.                                    --Bob

Happy belated Birthday, Tom. Back at Woodside, did we ever think we'd be this old? Hope you are safe and well!

I am sorry to hear of Diane's passing.  She and I had a connection in that her Miller first cousins were also my first cousins on the Martin side..  We celebrated that all through high school.  If I'm not mistaken, she was Valedictorian of our class.  I always wanted to be as smart as she was.  Peace and Blessings to her family.

Connie was my first real girlfriend at Woodside.  I had a late afternoon paper route and used to ride past her house.  I sang at the top of my lungs as I passed; I don't know if she ever heard me.  I remember that she and Caorlyn King (Schulz) were really good friends; they were cheerleaders together at Woodside.  I really liked Connie's Mother and Dad, too.  Ah, memories!  RIP, Connie.

October '07 --
My sisters Barbara, FHS '61, and Karen, FHS '56, and I at the little restaurant across from Lighthouse Place Motel with all the photos (incl. the Dog 'n' Suds). We always have a ball together, reminiscing and carrying on. Sadly, the days of our visiting Frankfort together are over with the passing of my dad last June and my mother in 2004. We all look pretty good, eh?

Sandy and I on our very first cruise, Jan. '08. We took the cruise with friends from Vermont (where we lived for 7 years) to begin celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary, which was Dec. 28, 2008. Can we have been married that long?
