Disclaimer & Apology: (Actually, more of an apology -- of sorts)
- Please forgive me
- IF ` I inadvertantly (and most unintentionally) misspelled your name
- IF ` I forgot your name altogether (it’s been nearly 30 years!)
- IF ` I failed to show your proper hair style, or if I “accidentally”
lopped off an ear (or hair -- or shoulder).
I have just “re-done” these photos, using my brother’s PhotoShop (in which I am not an expert). They are a little larger in file size, making for the “longer time of loading”. I am sorry for this, but I felt the end results were of a better quality. I truly did the very best I could, and a special word to the young man (now old, like us) in the back row (of the main photo) -- the one who’s wearing a white shirt, next-to-the-end on the right: I had to rely upon my memory and the Lord’s Help in “fixing” your face, because your face was hidden by John Turner (whose wife’s name was Mary, but she is not in the photo). Speaking of which...I will, at the bottom, include notes and updates concerning the students in the photos, and I will “update” these updates as I receive new information. Any help from anyone viewing these photos will be greatly appreciated.
divided into “sections”, of sorts. If you
can help identify any of these students,
please e-mail me. Also, e-mail me if you can
correct any names I may have gotten wrong.
Drop us a line, here, at our E-mail `

and I will call the photos Row 1a through 3b for simplicity’s sake.

Those with the blue star (

I knew all of these people well, or because
I have recently heard from them.
