Best achievement, see the McHenry's Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the city park - a block away from both where the Fox River and old bridge use to be.

The MCHS Class of 1964 sponsored the Memorial project along with McHenry's VFW. Both sponsor names are engraved on the Memorial along with the names of our 3 classmates killed in Vietnam. So the Class of 1964 ... will be remembered decades after we're all gone.

As I've done for many years, I'm off to Gunnison, Colorado for a couple months of skiing at Crested Butte, .... Russ Phillips, from CA., is joining me for a few days in 2021. If you're in the area, give me a call or meet me at the top on the highest mountain or in the ER.

Big thanks to Mr. Swantz for changing my grade in American History from a "C" to an "A++". Mr. Swantz. made the well deserved grade change at our 50th-year class reunion. For health reasons, he could not attend our 55th-year reunion. I can't say how honored I was that Mr. Swantz gave me a shout out in his letter to our class.
