When trying to do some background work on classmates that have passed, I couldn't find anything on Joe Huard. I did find that his brother died in 1955

Ron leaves a wife, 4 children and 10 grandchildren, all living close by in TN.  Ron was tracking with SGHS class of 1951. His parents moved away from South Gate while

10-24-06...Ok, ok, so I didn't go to the reunion.....I'm so sorry that I was unable to (maybe I didn't want anyone to see effects of being 68 and overweight.
After all, most of you guys haven't seen me since I was slim and beautiful [joke]). So, I was wondering if there are pictures out there that could be sent to me or
is there a booklet being published, as with the 40th? Marsha Caddell sent me a pic of the W56 group and I recognized some of you. Didn't I see Shirley Bracey,
Doreen Evanson, Janice Russell, Joyce Pentland, and Ray King? There were no names with the pictures, so I'm guessing some of you guys. Well, anyway, please respond,
as I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself way up here in WA.          Love, Billie Holloway-Marxmiller
