Greg,cousin to my close friend Mark Brimacombe, was, perhaps, the funniest guy in all of Start High School's Class of '67. Good hearted, Greg made me smile every time we met. He made a difference. Larry "The Bird" Todak

Linda, as we all knew each other in grade school, and I had a few really good laughs with Tom, please accept my condolences as well. He was unique in a very good way. Larry Todak

It’s been a long time. I hope your family is well.we moved to Florida about 4 years ago. I had never liked florida but I drove down with my daughter fo her new job and bought a place in the 8 days I was here. Robert didn’t see it in person for 3months my son in law and grandson had to stay home for the end of the school year and I didn’t want her to drive alone. So. Here I am and love warm weather. If you come down let me know. I’d enjoy seeing you again. I stay in touch with Julie baker and terry Jacobs .

Knew Cindy since we were 8 years old. What a warm, smart & sweet person. Coming up from Texas as a child, she never lost all of her charming southern accent. She was a classy teenager. Larry Todak

Hope you're doing well (and Yvonne too). Somewhere, I've a picture of you and me with a mamouth snow ball, hollowed out into a small igloo (we were 13yrs). I remember that your parents were always nice to me. Retired to Battle Creek Mi, my wife's hometown, after decades as a school social worker and track coach. If we have a 55 year reunion, it would be good to see you! Take care,. Larry Todak larrytodak@gmail.com

Thanks for letting us know about Mr. Hays passing. A very good man. I know it has been a lot of work for the Committee to put on a reunion. Still, I hope we have a 55th, even scaled down to one night with us paying a fee and pay for our own meal off the menu. We were blessed to have such a good class. Take care, Larry Todak larrytodak@gmail.com and
