Ron Davidson, Bill Jones, Wendy Wangsgard, and John Fry at the Stardust Hotel in Vegas in 1967.  The three guys lived at College Village Apartments on Rolando.  Ron and Wendy were PE teachers at Horace Mann.  I don’t know what became of Bill.  Ron gave his life in Vietnam.  Click HERE to read about him.
