Fellow Classmates, Back
in May 1962, my parents
gave me a shirt designed for friends
to sign in permanent ink. Listed
below are the 85 people who signed. The
last time I wore the shirt was at our 20th
reunion and Jane Jones (aka Patsy Pierce) signed it for the second time.
In April 2002, I donned the shirt for
the photos on the left (click to enlarge -- photo
will auto close after 5 seconds). Yes, I can
still wear it! Almost all the signatures, although faded,
are still easily readable. As memento for our 40th
reunion, I have linked each name to its signature. For ease of surfing,
the signature will auto close after 5 seconds. About 30% of the people signed
and about 70% printed their signature. It was not easy to write on the shirt back in 1962 and
it is amazing to see after 40 years that the signatures are still here. Please click on some
names below. I brought the
shirt to our 50th reunion!
I also brought the shirt to our 60th reunion held on October 22, 2022.
It was fun to show it to the 10 signers in attendance!
It's sad
to realize how many of our classmates are no
longer with us. I've bolded their names.
Best
wishes, Don Parrish
