A tiny town in south-central Missouri. I think his graduating class was around 40 people.

My dad graduated from Northeast High School, class of 1960.

Andale (KS) 1970.

Somewhere in Queens.

In Raytown probably 78 or 79. Can't remember which school. He bought me a shirt a few years back. Blue jays are something.

Bronaugh, MO 1956

Excelsior Springs....early 1950's

Dropped out after the eighth grade sometime around 1960 and worked for 45 years before retiring. He still has a part time job. Raised 7 kids.

KC Central. It was all white then.

De La Salle HS in KCMO 1938 or 39. He had planned to play football and baseball at the University of Missouri and to study Chemistry, but enlisted in the US Army Aircorp right after HS and served as a Pilot in WWII.

He is the greatest Man I've ever known. RIP, Dad.
