Kris Streed Practiced on Patty Puck

 

 

My only photo of Kris Streed came from this classic. Her husband is quite frail, as she commented not long ago. They have been married more than 50 years. She was also in the Lago's photo when she was having laughs about Andreen (Augustana) dorm and Christina Ellenberger Jackson, who was also in that dorm.

Name that editor - and the cop. Lago's.

Happy Anniversary and God's Blessings, Garry and Barbara.

Name that star!

Some of us have reached the age where we try hard to remember the names and distinctions, so it is especially enjoyable to gather friends and fans from within the Moline Memories. More have noticed lately, and that is fun for the givers and receivers. As Barb Garst would have said, "Don't just leave your hand up in the air! Say something!"

"Just a note to thank Liz's sisters and husbands for hosting a 50th Anniversary dinner for us in the Great Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. Also to thank our son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law and all the grand kids for hosting a great weekend in IA celebrating our anniversary. It was great fun and really appreciated."

Tim's scan of the Coolidge annuals have been enormously popular. The seventh grade of the Class of 1966 has been the most viewed for the week - many times.

Moline Actress Bonnie Bartlett Saved by Heroic Husband

 William Daniels saved his wife Bonnie Bartlett from a burglar - by switching on the lights.

William Daniels, the actor who portrayed the beloved Mr. Feeny on "Boy Meets World," poked fun at his part in foiling an attempted burglary over the weekend at his California home.

“I struggled with an intruder. Took him to the ground. I beat him up. And he ran away with bruises all over him,” Daniels, 91, said with a chuckle during an interview with ABC News that aired Wednesday. “Would you like to print that? You better not, it’s a total lie.”

An unidentified individual attempted to break into Daniels’ San Fernando Valley home Saturday night while he was there with his wife, Bonnie Bartlett, a representative for the actor confirmed to Fox News.

Everyone seems to be reading this older post:

John Baker Honored at Free Republic - Hall of Heroes

 John Baker was born in Davenport, Iowa and attended Moline High School from 1963 to 1966. At only 5 1 he was a gymnast before joining the army. His wife thought

 that gave him the strength and stamina to carry his buddies to safety. He became a tunnel rat in Vietnam, a soldier who entered Viet Cong tunnels searching out the enemy and destroying their caches of war material. Baker made the military his career, retiring in 1989. He then began working as a computer analyst at a Veterans Hospital in South Carolina. In addition to serving as the Vice-President of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, he serves as a member on the Nation s Monuments and Cemeteries Committee.

In 2008, the I-280 Bridge, connecting Davenport, Iowa with Rock Island, Illinois, was renamed the Sergeant John F. Baker, Jr., Bridge in honor of Baker.
