Class of 1974

I hope I have a match here. The picture of the one hanging in the Senior Center leaves something to be desired, so I hope someone can send me a better version. Class of '74: stand up and be counted - post information about yourself and your classmates.

Service Station and Elevator Men

I'm familiar with all the names, but I wouldn't have recognized many of these fellows. Any idea of what year these might have been taken in?

Class of 1966

Here is a picture of the mighty Class of 1966. Regrettably - if we don't hear from at least one of these fine people on this blog soon, as an incentive, I may have to resort to editing the first sentence and use words like 'weenie' and 'disreputable'. Please - don't make me do this. Instead, post some pictures and let us know how you're doing and where you are.

Also pictured are the Alamo Public High School Varsity Cheerleaders for the 1964-65 school year: Cynthia, Marilyn, Diane, Donna, Louise, and Jackie. Which of you will be the first to comment?

Carol Jacobson

Here are a some pictures of Carol Jacobson; (1) with Melva Sogard when they roomed together (and were on a hot double-date - Melva with Elmer and Carol with Irvin), (2) on her way to the Junior/Senior Tea with Adeline Tweed, Verdus Broshot, and Margaret Olson (the Tea was sponsored by the Alamo HomeMakers Primary), and (3) with Lyla and Melva - 'the singing teachers'. For me, Carol was one of Alamo's very best teachers (I can still quote lines from Shakespeare's plays).

Class of 1970

I don't believe we've heard from anyone in the Class of 1970. However, I did happen to run into Valerie down at the post office. I hope we will soon hear from each and every one of you. The sad news is the death of John in February of this year: I visited his grave out at the Alamo Cemetery located only a short distance from the farm he grew up on. Rest in peace, John.

Class of 1967

Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the picture of the Class of 1967 that now hangs in the Senior Center in downtown Alamo. The imperfections are due to having to take a picture of a framed picture with glass in front of it - so it is slightly out of focus and there is some glare. Maybe someone can take a better picture or supply the actual class photos.
I challenge the Class of 1967 to profile each of its members: Jane, Dennis, David, Jackie, and Clarice are already members - how about some pictures of you and your families? Where are you and what's going on?

Archie Kouba - August 2007

Cliff Gronfur and I visited Archie in Watford City where he is living in an 'assisted living' facility. He was in very good spirits and immediately recognized Cliff. Since he is near his daughter Debbie, he gets great care and seemed interested in everything that's going on. His son David and two of David's kids were coming later that day to take him hunting, and he was quite eager to see them.
Debbie and David - although Cliff and I didn't get to see either of you on this trip - we look forward to seeing and hearing from you here. Please send me an email so I can invite you to post pictures, etc., directly to this blog. And please register to comment. All it takes is an account name and password when you register - and it's all free.
