thanks for spending the time to set this up. I've really enjoyed all of the hard work that jim carlson has done to keep our class connected. The prep school started the journey.

Julius, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember your first skiing trip to Breckenridge. As I remember it, on your first trip to the top of the lower slope, you pointed your skis down hill and didn't stop until you came to rest in the parking lot at the bottom of the hill. I have told people this story over the years that I've gone to Breck. Correct me if Im wrong on this story, but I think I have it correct. I also remember Corrie Kunderts orange flight suit that he would wear. You could see him for miles away.

Bruce Hancock Be sure to check out Richard Etters profile. He has added many bits of memorabilia that will make you pause and reflect.

Bernard Hajovsky My second son Blake graduated from UT Austin with a degree in Aerospace Engineering thru the ROTC then earned his Masters in Astronautical Engineering @ AFIT at WrightPatterson AFB. He is now stationed at Scheiver AFB in Colorado Springs. He is a First LT. Anyone in the area should look him up. Funny how things worked out.

Bruce, Thanks for posting the pictures from the Prep School reunion. I wish I could have attended. I would like to see any more pictures anyone may have. Thanks for labeling the names. It has been awhile.

Gary Janelli asked me if I had a picture of our old squadron at Lackland Air Force Base. Believe it or not I found one with my Prep School yearbook… But I believe it's only of my squadron, the red squadron, when we got to the Prep School. I have to believe that there were three pictures that matched up with the red squadron, blue squadron and green squadron once we got to the Prep School. Anyway, it brought back lots of fun memories, and I'm so glad that the picture had the names on the side of it! Hard to believe it's been 50 years!

Here's my latest life event that happened 2 weeks ago......The Lord pulled me out of the fire again! You all know that "Motorcycles are an accident looking for a place to happen!" Be Careful out there....Best Alive! BTW, one person joked that if we take my sister away from our sibling picture, we could have our own motorcycle gang in the Murray Family! Ha!

One of my niece's made the book cover picture as a joke…..the front cover to my 4th Book, “Renegade Biker” by Bill Murray. Funny, but not funny! The back story is I borrowed my brother Jimbo’s Indian 1100 Motorcycle to take it for a little spin at the Murray Family Reunion a few days ago….Well, to make a long story short, I missed a turn in the foothills of Arkansas, tried to recover, jumped a pavement curve, slid on some grass and landed squarely on my right shoulder. I broke my clavicle (collar bone) where it attaches to the shoulder, in 5 pieces, and fractured 2 ribs. They ran me to the hospital in an ambulance and released me that night. The good news is, even though I’m on blood thinners, I didn’t hit my head and there were no other injuries. Truly, I’m thankful to God for saving my life once again!

I saw my orthopedic surgeon (shoulder specialist) today in Dallas, and he put me in a heavy duty sling, changed my narcotics for pain, and said that he didn’t recommend surgery if the bones stayed in alignment and healing continued. The pain has been excruciating the last 3 days, and he said it will continue for another week or so. If all goes well, in 8-10 weeks I should be fine. Please pray the healing goes well, and I promise not to be “Easy Rider” anymore….The last picture is of my two younger brothers and sister, who have been very supportive……..

My poor wife…..

I see Bill had the answer in his picture. It was BMTS 3710 for sure. Impossible but wouldn't it be great to know what happened to all the people we started with at Lackland and how their lives turned out.
