Know Your Classmate
Bob Phelps after retiring moved to Mesa Arizona and found a beautiful place to purse his passion of Photography. Classmates of Bob's who are friends of Bob on Facebook have had an opportunity to see his exceptional photos of the southwest. Those who have not seen his photos are in for a special experience. His photos of the Arizona desert and animals are something truly exceptional. Bob has a special place in his heart for the Wild Horses of Salt River. It has been said"The Salt River wild horses are a living piece of our Arizona history, a remnant of our pioneering American spirit". In these photos you will see these special animals. Thanks Bob for the spectacular photos and insight to the outstanding wonders of our world.

Know Your Classmate
After graduation classmates move on to the next phase of their life.
Some we still see or hear about some others just move on. My life with one of my best friends in grade school changed in 6th grade when he made the Moline Boys Choir and went to a new school . Although we we were at John Deere together he became just another classmate. So when I came across this article it made me think back to all the good times we had at Irving Grade school.

Memories of Downtown Moline
Remembering Memories of Downtown Moline -- Parades, Christmas and New York Store, Kresge/Woolworths, Movie Theaters ,Temples, Holloween Window Painting, Moline High School, Lago's, Moline Library, and many more. The Hub of our life in the 40's 50's.
I received an article from Stan Zimmerman that I had seen before. I discoverd it in my Web Page documents and some how wasn't currently posted on our web page. As we enter into a new year it is a good time to reflect on where we came from.
Having gone to Irving School and living on 13th STREET AND 6TH Avenue
Downtown Moline was our playground for me and my Irving School classmates.
After all of these years the above presentation is so familar. From Moline Turners where we snuck into, to visiting Downtown Fire Station, Kresge and Woolworth, Illini Paradise Leclaire movie theaters, Old Mill for Ice Cream, New York Store Toyland at Christmas, Moline YMCA , seaching behind stores for large cardboard boxes to make camps to play in and Moline cutting down all Oak Trees to widen 6th Avenue and of course all the parades that went by our house. So much action that Sunday was only day that it was quiet. I would have to write book about our adventures when Downtown Moline was the hub of activity. Yes Bob Phelps it was just 1 1/2 blocks to order hamburgers from Vics Diner.
