Merle Hoerner Can we all work together to find everyone and fill out the missing links? This could be a blast for all.

Marie Thompson (Anstett) Thanks, Merle, for doing this. It will be a fun way to keep in touch. I'll send the site on to Jane and anybody else I can.

Karen Strom (Burton) This is a great idea, Merle, and thank you for setting it all up. So many people I've lost contact with and don't even see the ones still here in Missoula. This town isn't the town we all grew up in!

Karen Strom (Burton) On your missing list, I think that Joe Barth passed away shortly after graduation. He was dating Tina Torgrimson. Also Ron Tanner was killed in the Viet Nam war.

Valerie Stone I never knew we had a classmate who died in the Vietnam War. I remember that Wynne Wakley's boyfriend died, but he was a couple of years older than we were. I can't remember his name, though. I wish I had a Missoula phone book so that I could look up other classmates and tell them about this website.

Robert Skinner Merle thanks for your work on this. I want to contribute to the cost so let me know how to pay you something. Do you have a list of e-mail addresses for some of our class members? I would like to have that if you have it. Again thanks and I look forward to seeing you some day soon. You live in Havre? Wow, you must have a lot of long underwear eh?

Does anyone remember Russ Crase? He was a year or two above us, but Larry was in our year? I went to Washington, D.C. last week to visit my youngest son and we went to the Vietnam Memorial. After looking at many, many names, Gabriel (my son) looked on his phone and found the stone that his name was on. It's a good thing he looked, because unbeknownst to me, Russ's first name was Lionel, and he was listed as "Lionel R. Crase". I took a photo, but I have to wait for someone to help me figure out how to upload it. I know he's not in our class, but Larry's not on the list of people who have found this site and I thought it would be nice to remember Russ if that's OK. --Valerie Stone

P.S. I just now looked at the "In Memoriam" page and read that Ron Tanner died in Vietnam. I had no idea.

I'm going to be in Missoula for a few days over the third weekend in July. My brother, Craig, is going up for his 40th reunion, and I'm driving up with him. We're staying at the Edgewater. I'll be there from the 20th -22nd and my cell # is 925-408-3871 if anyone wants to get in touch. Otherwise, I'll just wait until next year.. :-) Valerie

I noticed that Steve LePaine is not listed as deceased. I know he was a Missoula police officer that died in an auto accident as I recall. Not sure who maintains the memory portion, but I believe this is what happened to him. Here is a link:

Merle,

The pictures look great from Locksa gathering. I am retiring next year from Northwest Nazarene University and should be more available for some of these things. It is interesting that with a graduation class so large I didn't know everyone so it would be nice to connect with some I never knew.

Have a great day,

Gary Waller
