Hi Linda,thank you for identifying everyone. I did John but was having a hard time with the others

Thank you to Diane and Linda for their response.  Kora is now $10 richer as I payoff on my bet with her.  smiley     I have to add...Wow Linda you did a great job in naming our classmates!  I was only able to identify 69% of those pictured.

David Frazer

Wow! You are all impressive! Especially you are Linda! I'm not in the same league as you guys. I have to work to identify my own picture. Keep up the challenges! I'm waiting for Steve Hardy's 8 year old picture of himself; (not an 8 year old picture Steve). laugh

I have one more class pic.  Sixth grade at Crestview. 1967.  I remember a lot a names.   Who can identify themselves?

Roxanne Binder (Kidder)

Linda, you are amazing! I could not have remembered all those names.

I didn't go to Crestview, but I see Gloria Borner!

I agree. Once Linda named everyone it was easy to recognize faces.

I vaguely remember at Crestview Mr. Vierow Having a heart attack at the school and being taken away by ambulance.  He was back a few weeks later.

Thomas Cockriel

I think that's Keith Evans next to Mr. Vierow

Tom

I remember when he had the heart attack as well, some of us were playing dodge ball with some teachers after school and they wouldn't let us leave because the ambulance was there.  

I was thinking that was Keith as well and Dale Howe is the 3rd one down on the far right.

I"m curious to find how many fishing licenses our classmates bought so far. I have heard that is what the retired do is fish more. Any truth to that? cool

I haven't bought my fishing license yet, I'll have both a WI and MN soon.
Dave, we should grab my canoe and find a fishing hole somewhere. laugh

Steve, I am amiss in calling you and asking if you need someone to till your garden? I have been thinking of calling for three weeks; but it always is somewhere or time not right. I would be willing to be your left hand on the tiller. Did you get the cast off? (Use your tiller though... mine is a shovel for the last three years).

Douglas Kladis

I remeber tillers and the garden been a long time fishing sonds like more fun though caught me two rainbows last week, thinking of going up to Mormen Lake soon to see how the Pike are doing

Robert Ayre

Well Dave it looks like you were fishing for things to talk about. Got us hook, line and sinker. Reeled us in with that opening line. I will get mine next week. Would be great to get a group together to go canoeing. I'm in if anyone is intetested.

David Frazer

Bob, can you "scale" it down with the fishing puns! I'm in the "boat" if you put something together for canoeing or kayaking. Doug, were they nice size trout? Our classmate, Kevin Noonan, lives around Phoeniz, Arizona. Owns a tree trimming-business. I think of his job working for the WI CC in 1979. He rebuilt for the DNR streams for trout. Pretty impressive the hard work. By the way, with the elementary school pictures, how many of you were struck by a teacher in grade school? Ouch. I hope I am not the only one.

Dave trout where OK 4-6lb Glen Canyon Dam is where you get trophy size trout here near Page AZ your only aloud 3 and you have to squez the barbs on your hook to cut down on the damage to the fish and keep the ones you want to keep in live wells sticked up there been there only once just to far

Tom, I think you are right about Dale in the pic. 

 

Karen, I do miss Walleye. No such fish in FL.

Daniel Sopkowiak

Well David thanks for bringing up some of these topics. I haven't had the chance to go fishing for a few years now. I do plan on testing out the retirement theory in about a year. hope to move near Lake Roosevelt and spend some time after walleye northerns and sturgeon along with the trout. 

 No you were not alone getting smacked but I felt my poor penmanship didn't warrent it in front of the whole class. The funny thing was a couple years later while playing junior high football he was in the stands with my mother sitting near by and he commented how he hopes that I wouldn't carry a grudge and come looking for him. devil

Karen - lovely fish.  Makes me think perhaps I should try some fishing this year!

Love the grade school pictures!  Are there any from Pullman Elementary?  I was there from 2nd - 6th grade.  Would be fun to see the young faces!

BTW - I finally took the plunge and retired on 5/7/21.  Week one of retirement progressed without incident!  :-)

Great looking fish, Karen. I have been thinking about taking Joe up on his offer to take me fishing down the river. If I go with Steve Bilderback too, that will make getting a license a good things. Dan. My issue was I thought I asked a good question. The teacher thought I was being a smart aleck and sent me to be ridiculed by the first-grade aggressive teacher; she hit me in the back of my head to show first graders what happens to people deserving punishment. The question? It was dumb, but I asked honestly. Probably precipitated by my real smart aleck attitude, setting her up to empty the backpack of anger on the next smart aleck kid (online definition fits this event: smart aleck An impudent or obnoxiously self-assertive individual, a wise guy, as in New teachers often have a hard time coping with the smart alecks in their classes). Jessica.. I thought about your place by the lake. Are you still there for retirement? We found a place on a lake by Steve B. and they are asking 100 thousand more than should be in a normal market, but will settle for 180K more (realtor's guess). Tom. One thing I can say, I miss the sea food in GA coast (stationed at Fort Stewart) and Florida (Sue's brother Dave Kaproth was a doctor in Tallahassee and had a fishing boat). The fish at the restaurants... fantastic!
