I have never forgotten the friends from my school days in Duluth. I recall some of the names of the "Unknown" students at both schools.

I have made a few trips back to Duluth over the years. Once to see my Father in 1964; then again to see my Grandmother in 1975. The last visit was to attend my Father's funeral in 1993.

Finding this website has helped to refresh all the happy memories of my school days in Duluth.

I attended Jackson Elementary Grades Kindergarten through 3rd Grade before moving and attending Nettleton Elementary for Grades 4 & 5. My family left Duluth in the summer of 1954. We moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico for three years before moving out to the Los Angeles area.

I was married the first time while in college in San Jose. The marriage lasted 7 years and ended in divorce. I married the second time to my wife Joanne and we have been happily married for over 37 years. We have one son named Justin and a Grandson named William who live in Huntsville, Alabama.

I spent most of my professional career with Raytheon Company. I enjoyed different assignments at different locations throughout the Southeast, although my home office was in Andover, Massachusetts/
