Remember Friday nights at Wharton Field with sold out crowds

Now when you go if 1000 fans it's a great night

But wait Tuesday night I sat with Jerry Walleart(class 60) and we experienced a flash back to those times

It was a packed house, closed ticket office at 7:00 and people standing by court

Fans, players, atmosphere made it a great nightI   UTHS and Rock Island put on a great show

Dexter Johnson another Moline High School legacy

When we were in high school we had a fan affectionaly called Waxey.  He was at all practices and games  and probaby the best fan of those times.   He died at a Moline football game and left a void in Moline sportrs.

For those who have not followed Moline sports since High School we now have a new super fan at basketbal practice and all Moline games.  He is affectionaly called  Dex and is known by all fans who attend Moline basketball games.. Here is a short video on the life and times of Dexter.  In this video you will see Terry Christopher (Ron Christopher's son) who is a great friend to Dexter and watches after him as if he was his brother. I hope you enjoy

We made the Newspaper and what a great party it was.

See you again in 2018 for 60th (can you believe it) reunion

Below is the outstanding poem created by Nancy Sohner Gibson for our 75th Birthday party.   She outdid herself again with a very poignant look at ourselves as we age.

The main page of our web page is increasing in length making it hard to find new or updated information    I will be creating topics and adding pertinent information to each topic. The first one will be "Moline Happenings" .  .  I have added Franks Pizza, Moline Marvels, and Big Town Big Deal to Moline Happenings.  Each topic will have a date when updated or changed.   Let me know what you think by email  moline1958@gmail.com

Why do we come back for MHS1958 Reunions or Parties?

It"s to see classmates who were a big part of who we are today?

Click on Know Your Classmate to see how we looked at 50th Reunion

Many have passed away since

Have you ever wondered about a classmate that graduated and what they did after graduation.  Many go on with their life and we never here about them.  Then after many many years we learn from a friend, classmate, etc. about what they accomplished in their life.  Then you say I (should have or wished) I had known that. Many classmates have made a differnce some in a quiet and way unassuming way.

Bob Phelps just sent the following links.

After looking at them they bring back so many memories.  I lived in downtown Moline from 1944 to 1955 before moving to Molette during my 9th grade year.  Bob: I lived only one block from your family's diner.  Best hamburgers I ever tasted.  I went to Irving Grade school and know they have a site on Facebook. There maybe more and will investIgate.  I recommend all 1958 classmates to visit these sites.

Thanks Bob for the Information..
