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.

With all the turmoil that is currently going on in the World this takes us back to a simpler time in our lives.  Oh how I  wish I could back for just one day.  Our generation was so lucky to grow up when we did

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..

While not MHS specific, the following could be of interest to the gang.  

This video was done by 5 sound engineers who went around the world recording individuals performing this song.  They then blended them together into one song and video
