Dennis McGimpsey and Family

Dennis McGimpsey
Today is a very special day for me. Through the amazing generosity of my class of `66 classmates, friends, family, and I understand, even strangers, I have had a brand new full sized bed, (mattress, boxsprings, and frame), delivered to my apartment today. I am humbled and pretty much overwhelmed by this act of kindness by so many people who have donated their time and hard earned monies. I don`t know of all that has contributed, but I do know of one person that has done so much in getting me this bed, and her name is, Jorja Hepner Beert. She`s a Moline classmate of mine who organized all of this. So to her and all the rest of you folks, I would like to say, Thank You so much for showing love and compassion toward me and I will never, ever forget this. Only one last thing to say... no more sleeping in the recliner, YES! Love you ALL. Dennis

To tell the truth, Princess Kym ordered us into action
threatening that she would come to Moline and kick some butt.

We had a great time at Lagomarcino's - my first time inside. Fortunately there were no initiation rites to endure. This was a great idea, and I hope we have many more small group gatherings at the next one.

I am voting for a 65th birthday party in two years.

Thank You Kym Dennhardt Whatley

Kym is going through a very difficult time with her son's upcoming neurosurgery for a rare condition. Nevertheless, she took the time to send her Roosevelt photos with as many identifications as she could remember. Keep her son in your prayers.

Kym Dennhardt Scrapbook

Moments Perserved by the Moline Daily Dispatch

Photo features in the Dispatch made us a closer community.

We made fun of our local paper, but a lot of us delivered it at one time or another. One of the best ways to have walking around money was to have a paper route.

Does anyone remember the stack of newspapers delivered with a loud whack!, the folding of the papers for good tossing, and the canvas bag for holding them?

In bad weather, Mom or Dad might drive the route and help deliver the papers.

Collecting the subscription one week at a time was a normal procedure. If the family was not home, the paperboy came back another time.

The reward at one newspaper was better than cash. The boys who turned in their money got to pick out free comic books (minus their covers).

I made my first fortune in the baking business: washing pans, sugaring doughnuts, mopping floors, hauling flour and shortening to the basement and from the basement.

Childhood Honors Were Treasured

Kym Dennhardt Whatley won this ribbon,
which reminded me of the framed ribbons for track my father kept at our home.

Sixty-three Dollars To Have a Baby in 1948

Kym Dennhardt Whatley cost a little over $63 to be delivered.
