From Cathy Aaron:
I totally remember Miss Sullivan, as she was one of the
hardest teachers I had, but I learned the most from her.
She drove a red gull wing Mercedes. I remember seeing her get into
the car with the "wings" up one time. What a trip! From David Holmes: I don't recall the Gullwing Benz, but I can definitely place her in a fine XKE. Remember that black cat inhabiting her room? |

| E. Lindop | From Mike Hill: The only book he authored that was never published, as far as I know, is the one he very graciously let me illustrate while still a senior at Uni, "Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall - Who's The Toughest Of Them All?" It's about a high school kid who vainly tries to mimic the successes of others, but then departs for college to find himself. Enough said? |

| Duane LaRue | comments from discussion on Classmates.com (March 2003) Suffered a very serious fall several months ago at his home. He has some brain damage and has difficulty in remembering people and events. He and his family are getting by with the help of friends, family and church members. (May 2005) I saw Coach Larue in May of this year. He is doing well, looks great but has some trouble remembering things. |
