Foot lockers are getting opened and veterans' photos retrieved.  Here are some more.  Click HERE to take another look at the Veterans' Page.

'62 classmates Joel Zane and Denny Aiken in Vietnam, 1969



Mike Byrne '64 donned his Coast Guard whites for the 1970 funeral of his Commanding Officer.  I was unsuccessful in correcting the color.  It looks for all the world like a still shot from the movie The Sand Pebbles, about patrolling the Yangtze River in 1926.



Rick Alexander '67 had an Air Force job in Hawaii that involved working with the Navy in San Diego, so he got to visit his mom on a regular basis.  She took this photo in the mid-1980s at the family home in Talmadge.  She was my typing teacher and, when I taught at Hale Junior High, the Girls' Vice Principal.  You may have had her as a teacher also -- Betty Alexander.


A Night With Neptune was the theme of the ASB Ball, to be held February 23rd.  That and more in the February 22, 1962 Pacer.  Click HERE to check it out.


Chet Carney was one of three Colts selected for the Amigos de la Americas program.  Click HERE to read all about it in the February 25, 1972 Pacer.
