School Story

I remember taking driver's education from Mr. Simon. He was quite particular about his class, and he could be a little stern at times.

I also remember Mr. Anderson for business, Mrs. Knight for history, and there was a language teacher (Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, I believe), and the auto shop teacher, Mr. Gunderson. All had a really positive influence over me in High School.

Those were wonderful times, at a great school. Back in those days, most of the concerts were at Lagoon - groups like The Doors, The Who, Herman's Hermits, The Beach Boys, Paul Revere and the Raiders - a smaller venue with popular entertainment. The music also had a great influence on me, and was a reflection of the times.

It was really a time of trying to figure out who I was, and what I wanted to do in life. I am grateful for all those who took leadership roles, and for those that I got to know there who gave me encouragement and friendship. It is hard to believe it has been 50+ years.

A tragic and heartbreaking story!  I had not seen this previously.  I do remember Lynne.  This was just a couple of months after graduation.

I remember Larry as being an all-around genuinely nice person!  My circle of friends was relatively small at Highland, but I remember him as someone who was friendly to everyone.  He always had a smile or a grin to offer.
