Does anyone remember Tom Rzepka (sp)?  Remember his mowhawk haircut?  Remember Gus Newberry?  Phillip Cassidy?  These names popped up in my head, from WAY back...

Also, shouldn't Bill Badger be included in the "In Memory" section?  He died quite a few years back; seems like he might have been murdered over by Kalamazoo...

OK Jer . . . This is why you should be on the planning committee!!! 

YES!  I remember Tom, but not the others.  I do remember Bill Badger.  Is his sister Mary Sue (sp) still around?  Didn't she marry Allan Pepper?  We'll have to check that out.  'Cause even though these guys didn't graduate with us, we wanted to include everyone.  Remember Dixie and Diane Parks???  I used to walk to elementary school with them every day.  They lived on Walnut Lane.

Anybody else have info about the guys above???

I think the Peppers (no relation to the famous doctor) live out west somewhere.  Don't know why I think that.  Yes, I remember the Parks twins.  I remember not knowing one from the other though.  We bought their grandparents house on Charlotte St. a long time ago.  Gus Newberry's dad was the band director when I was like 4 or 5.  He was before Mr. Clayton.  Seems like he might have been before somebody else even...  Phillip Cassidy's dad was a preacher at the church on Broadway, next to the Standard Gas station.  They were all our age (not the parents).  I remembered quite a few faces in that 2nd grade picture but couldn't quite remember all of their names.  I sure don't remember the teacher; she looks like a meanie.  I always liked Mrs. Omo because she liked me.  Don't know why though...

I'm about out of old memories at this time.  I think I'll now spend a little time to try and remember what went on yesterday...

I remember Mama (that was an old TV show).  I DO remember Becky Manigold!  Ruh Ruh

Holy Moly, Jerry!  You have a memory like a, like a, like ummm, a steel trap!  You amaze me.  Your memory and your humor.

Does anyone have contact info for Becky Manigold?

BTW . . . "I Remember Mama" was also a movie.  That I do remember, but just cannot place those other kids.  Wish I could.

I agree, Jerry should join us for the planning meeting on the 31st. And you definately need to clear your schedule so you can come and bring queen to the reunion. Just for old time sake, wear black patent leather shoes.....I remember something about that in science class in Jr. High. Maybe you will get lucky and someone at the reunion will be wearing a dress. LOL

Hello...  Sorry I couldn't make the 31st planning meeting (which I was attempting to show up at).  With all the school time sporting events going on in Coldwater, Angola, and "?", we have pretty much lost most weekends during this time.  We had something going on that day (although I can't remember if it was volleyball, baseball or girls softball - not unusal to forget after a couple weeks)...

Also, nobody need wear a dress, I still have my trusty x-ray glasses that I bought in second grade...  (Although I haven't used 'em for many years.)
