It was so sad when you left us. Rest in Peace! Not long ago, my younger brother Gordy called me on his cell phone and asked me to guess where he was. I could barely hear him since he was on his Harley, so he cranked it off and said he was sitting in front of the electrical tower in our former yard at 31 Hillside Ct. It sparked up old memories that I will never forget. So, not long after that, I walked from 31 Hillside Ct. up past Julie's house, past the Uhl's, cut through the bushes across from the Uhl's and Faith Benson's house where we used to lay in the sun with Sun-In in our hair and listen to songs like "Spill The Wine", cut over to Carter and passed Laura Quale's house all the way down to the former Guertin's, cut over to the former Blomberg's, crossed the street to Miller Drug, and attempted to cut through our old pathway all the way to the top of the hill where "some" of us had our last drags of our cigs. I know...Yuk! I thought about all of you and said a prayer to forgive me if I was mean to anyone as I've heard I was. I was picked on as well by the older guys, so it was just a part of growing up...I think. Miss and respect you all. Especially you, Rick! ♪♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ Always, Scott Robertson Dear Rick Overgard,

He is was a Governer from St. Paul Johnson. I told him we were the "groovy pilots". He teaches snowboarding at Trollhaughen. Any groovy boarders? I am still into skiing. Just got back from Big Sky!!

Beautiful! Love the pics of all the folks--including of some of my mentors from childhood, like Bruce Perizzo!! I hope they all can make it to the 40 as well. We will plan to be there.

You left us way too soon, and I think about you all the time. You will never be forgotten. I remember dancing in your basement to LPs, making malteds in your kitchen, going to the beach at Lake Johanna, going to Camp Fire Girl meetings with you and the 'gang', and going to parties. You always were exceptional at everything, but especially at being a great friend. Thank you for giving me great memories. Rest in peace. Dear Patty (Heille-Johnson),

My father attended Murray High School in St. Paul, MN (as did I) and he graduated in the class of 1940. As luck would have it, he had saved his commencement program from that year. There was only one name that matches the initials found inside your Mother's ring: JEANNE CATHERINE MARSHALL. Sadly, my father passed away last January, so I cannot ask him if he knew her. I have done a cursory search for her on the internet, but found nothing, probably because Marshall was her maiden name. I hope you find it interesting to know who owned the ring at one time. Perhaps a relative of yours? Best of luck to you, and thank you for your inquiry. Webmaster (admin) Hello Kathleen,

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. We would love to have the pin and post a photo of it on our site and the other Murray HS sites we know of so that everyone can enjoy it. We will email you an address you can send it to. (BTW, did you realize there was a Vickie Anderson in the graduating class of 1974?) Thanks again for your kindness. All the best. Hi Vickie,
