Updates
Due to the large number of classmates who have provided new information about themselves and their families, I've started this "Updates" page as a permanent record for information from prior months. Updates for the current month can be found on the home page.
June 2008
- I've just received word from Meg Poppleton-Sherman that former business teacher Harold Schwalb has died; also, English teacher Beatrice Niver (at Broadway JHS) has passed away as well. (Updated: June 21st.)
- Meg Poppleton-Sherman, who keeps in touch with me on Facebook :) , has updated us on her husband, family, and brother-in-law, our former gym teacher, David Sherman. (Updated: June 20th.)

- Bill Jones contacted me via Facebook to update me about himself and his two boys. (Updated: April 19th.)

- Jill Beckman Grannis sent her information to me through Facebook, and also sent me Rick Marvin's e-mail address for him. (Updated: April 9th.)
