Do you have a favorite School Story:

Best THS Memory -- Playing bass in a Dixieland Band with Bill Shuart, Charlie Schwartz, Brad Slease, Mike Brown, and Dan Judd for an all-school assembly our senior year

Best classes at THS -- Sophomore and Senior Math with Marjorie French

Most memorable classes at THS -- Orchestra/String Ensemble with Bob Hallman

Toughest class at THS -- Physics with J. W. Jones

Biggest thing you would do differently if you went back to your time at THS?

I'd do almost everything the same, but take French instead of Physics.

Anything else we should know?

No, nothing else.

Happy Birthday, Gary!! Hope you're having a great day, celebrating or just relaxing. Thinking of you reminds me of the Boy Scout Troup (8?) that we were in during junior high. With few friends in grade school, I was grateful to find a group of guys who shared common interests. Best wishes to you and Diana in the year ahead.
