Hi Bill! So glad you signed up for Class Creator. It's a great way to connect with your (now) OLD classmates! Let me know if you have any questions.

I remember John from Junior High days at John Marshall. He was probably the tallest, best-looking guy in my Algebra class! The school desks just didn’t fit his long legs, so he would frequently be sprawled in the aisle. I remember him as quiet, but friendly, always offering a smile and a nod.

His athletic gifts were legend at North High and the love of sports was his passion. Looking through the yearbook brought back memories of seeing John on the basketball court and as defensive end on the gridiron.

He was a great individual and know he will be missed by his loved ones and friends. Fantastic tribute video! Rest in peace, my friend.

Hey girl! So glad you signed up. Loved seeing you again and visiting! Stay healthy. Hope we can meet again soon!

Bruce, I echo Paul's sentiments of a tribute well done! I did not know Steve. Tears of sadness and then laughter came in telling your story. I was able to find bits of an archived obituary indicating Steve passed away September 17, 2010 from cancer. He was a Sergeant in the Air Force.

Thank you for taking time to post your memories of Steve.

Hi Marie! So glad you joined Class Creator. It is a great way to stay in touch! We will be sending out a newsletter soon that includes a photo of our entire class at the event Saturday, October 5, 2019 and we have identified everyone in the picture. Hope you and your loved ones are well.

Hi Richard and welcome to Class Creator! This is Karla Roach from John Marshall. I worked with the 50th Reunion committee and we will soon be publishing the group photo from the reunion, complete with names! Stay tuned! Hope you can connect with some former classmates through this site. Thanks for signing up. Hope you and your family are well.

Kelly became a good friend in grade school when I moved into the neighborhood a block from his home. We spent long summer afternoons with other friends in Minisa Park across the street. He was a leader then and always thinking of something new! Throughout our years at Marshall and North High, he was steadfast in his love of learning and cherished time with friends and family. He was someone very special and we will all miss him dearly.
