Class Biographies #2

Here is the second installment from our project "Know Your Classmates". Although you were given or had access to a 50th reunion booklet which contained classmate bio's, we felt that sending a few bio's periodically would provide an easier way for you to read about them, and give you info on how to contact one or more of them should you care to do that.

Please send updates to your bio to Mike Summers. iansummers@heartstorming.com

Best Regards,
Howie Phillips

Class Biographies #1

To our Classmates FLHS '57

As previously announced, we are commencing our project of "Know Your Classmates". Although you were given or had access to a 50th reunion booklet which contained classmate bio's, we felt that sending a few bio's periodically would provide an easier way for you to read about them, and give you info on how to contact one or more of them should you care to do that. One piece of sad news to report -- the recent passing of Roger Weaver. We hope you find these e-mails a refreshing break from your otherwise eventful day.

Best Regards,
