Lawrence and his look-alike brother honored their mother Doris. |
I started a Facebook page for my junior high - Calvin Coolidge - and one for my grade school - Garfield.
I gather photos where I can - many have helped. Facebook encouraged me to ask questions, so I posted for Coolidge - "How did you get to Coolidge?"
We have 1,500 members, so I thought a few might want to respond.
We have 1,100 responses to that question. One alumnus became quite disturbed that we listed various means, such as walking, riding a bike, or getting a ride in the family car. New members of the group tend to add to the list because it is often near the top.
We need to get our stories straight about how tough we had it in those years, plus The Flood! |
I was thinking that people near the Quad Cities would be the best hope for organizing the 60th anniversary for the Moline High graduates, The Gold Medal Class of 1966.
2026 seems far away now, but it will be too late to do a good job unless some plans are made. Zoom makes it easy to communicate and saves on travel. Nevertheless, I think it will work better if face-to-face meetings are arranged along the way.
The Facebook page for our class is Moline 1966. That is probably the best place to start.
I can post information on this Moline Memories blog, which has almost 500,000 views, a convenient way to share general information.
