05/15/09 09:28 PM #16     Patricia Rogers (Broadwell) Dan Beck ~ don't think you're getting off the hook... "I" Street and 7th Avenue - northwest corner big house. Do you remember Linda Loosli, Randy Winkler, Gary and Larry Reid?? Holly Williams Schelin ~You lived a couple of houses above my mother's best golfin' buddy on "C" St between 10th & 11th Avenue. And not that you would remember this but there were 5 girls...with Pat names~ Patsy Droubay, Patty Milligan, and yes, I was Patti Rogers in my elementary years), but their was also a girl named Pat ? and Patricia ?. Holly, don't you also have a good lookin' brother named Tom?? Melinda Snow Rich ~ Sorry I haven't seen Pandora Miller since our East High Class reunion dinner in 1989. And I think at that time she was living some where in Idaho.

05/17/09 10:09 PM #17     Jim Olsen Marv ??!?? Marv Curtis??? I thought you were still locked in the Sound Booth @ Clayton Jr. High! I'll look for a scapegoat wherever I can, so if you're to blame for this fantastic website, way to go! I hope you've been saving your curly hair clippings for the past few decades; my wife's hot glue gun is warmed up and ready. I haven't had a 'hair' day...good, bad, or indifferent...since about the mid-80's. Looking forward to renewing some wonderful associations, including you, Marv. Thanks for being such a good buddy during our years @ Clayton & East. ~Jim

05/19/09 04:24 PM #18     Peggy Scott (Youngs) Well, what do you know about this Ensign thing? Jon Holbrook, I'll never forget you, or the 3 (4?) Patty/Patsy's. I lived on H down a couple of blocks from Crit Swanner, the Pugsley's, and near the Hess's. Wow. And someone mentioned Jamie Ingebritson, but I saw he had passed away. Details? Yes I remember Steve Lindgren, had a crush on him and went to ballet lessons for years with his sister Cheryl. Had Miss Finster, Bradley, Raybould (she was my dad's teacher too), DuBois, Lyon, and Mr. Anderson. And yes I remember the earthquake drills under the desks. Now what was that supposed to do???? Remember 4-square in the basement in the dead of winter... What fun this is for all of us, thank you Marv.

06/05/09 06:06 PM #19     Virginia (Ginger) Delamare (Cannon) Ginger DeLaMare Cannon Hey now that the Ensign Elementary and the Clayton Jr High people are connecting, are there any friends out there from Douglas Elementary or Roosevelt Jr High? It would be fun to reconnect with you. Anyone remember Mrs. Nelson in 6th grade playing soccer with us. How about the hopscotch and marble tournaments?

06/10/09 01:56 PM #20     Jim Olsen Come on, all you weak links out there! Drink a six-pack of fearlessness and let's get some current photos posted on this magnificent website, so we’re not running around all week-end of August 15th squinting at each others’ chests trying to read names!!! My own head shot resulted only after extensive editing (thank you, PrintShop Plus). My forehead is singly responsible for 40 years of reinforcements to photographic lens filters. You will know I have passed on when a new star appears in the sky (undoubtedly FAR from Heaven), representing the sun’s reflection off the aforementioned expanse above my eyes. If you’re really concerned about the havoc four decades wreaked on your body, Dave Thomas is a plastic surgeon, for heavens’ sake. I feel certain that, for a minor consideration, he could be persuaded to supply us with black-market botox just prior to the reunion.

06/13/09 02:46 AM #21     Patricia Rogers (Broadwell) Just curious.. How many of you out there still have class rings &/or class pins??? Does your ring still fit??

06/13/09 06:04 AM #22     Jacqueline Williams (Lloyd) Marv----This is just beautiful and also very interesting. I just love reading about all my OLD classmates, and the good things that they have done with their lives. I cant wait until the reunion to see everyone again. I dont have my ring anymore, but I still have the tassle from the hat. Jackie Williams Lloyd

06/13/09 11:16 AM #23     John Adamson Thanks to all who stopped by Tim and Ericka Mcarthy's last night (6.12) for Terry's wake. It was a grand time with former colleagues of his from the river trips, the bio labs, classmates, family. Guests of honor were the ever-entertaining Jeff Redford up from LA for the occasion and the ever-graceful Peggy Scott Youngs who drove six hours solo to comfort Mac's kin and pay respects for this amazing life. I'll send some phone pix to Marv (also there and also entertaining and graceful!). Really lovely evening. Rivermen soon heading for Cataract Canyon with Mac's ashes. Mac himself couldn't have dialed it all up any better.

06/13/09 03:47 PM #24     Thomas E. Thulin Yes Marv, thanks from me as well. Great job! In answer to the Roosivelt Jr. (and in my case, Emerson Elem.) "here, here." We had the walk UP the 8th and 9th S. hills. I tried to tell my kids of the treck to school being up hill both ways, ha. They called me on it when they saw 9th S. It is great to read the stuff here from those of you that made so much of an impact on my life, Paulette and Melinda thanks for directing me here. I do look forward to seeing all of you at the school. Tom

06/15/09 09:10 AM #25     John Straley Virginia Delamar - Douglas Elementary was way fun! I remember you particularly well because you and I were about the same height and we were often paired as dance partners. You were a great dancer and I was terrible. Mrs Nelson was a super teacher. I wonder what happened to her. She was one of those once-in-a-lifetime teachers.

06/15/09 01:38 PM #26     Terry Spinks Marv, Just a note to say thanks for putting together this site. You have done a great job. Nice to see pictures of all of us then and now. Keep up the good work and I hope to join all of you at the reunion. Terry Spinks

06/23/09 09:44 PM #28     Nancy Holt (Monson) I guess I never tuned in to the "message forum" until now. How fun to read all the Ensign school references. I had to do a quick run through in my mind to remember all my teachers. Miss Finster, Miss Hannah, Mrs. Lyon, Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. DuBois, Mrs. Raybould and Mr. Anderson. Hi to all of you Ensign Elementary friends! Jim Ingebretsen lived in our ward and so I saw him as he lost his battle with his brain tumor. Here is his obituatry notice if you want to read more details. Obituary: James Hyrum Ingebretsen James Hyrum Ingebretsen "Jimbo" James Hyrum Ingebretsen died peacefully surrounded by family on Sunday, December 23, 2007 from pneumonia while fighting a courageous battle against a brain tumor. He was born December 1, 1950 in Salt Lake City, son of Robert and Mary Ingebretsen. He was graduated from East High School in 1969, attended radio broadcasting school, and then the University of Utah. He owned and operated his own ice cream store and for the past 16 years worked at LDS Hospital. He is survived by 5 siblings, numerous nieces and nephews, and countless friends. The funeral will be Friday, December 28th at 12 noon at the Emigration 4th Ward Chapel located at 18th Avenue and Hilltop Road. There will be a get-together for friends and family on Thursday, December 27th from 68 pm at Larkin Mortuary, located at 260 East South Temple and again Friday morning at the ward one hour prior to the services. Jim was simply the kindest and warmest person on earth. He blessed every life that was fortunate enough to meet him. We thank his physicians, nurses and technicians who took such marvelous care of him in the last days of his life.

06/24/09 03:11 PM #29     Jim Olsen Nancy (and everyone else who ultimately 'stumbles' onto the Forum), many thanks to you (& to Marv, for the previous posting) for the information about Jim, a member of our class whom I always knew about, but never knew well. I for one hope this site, with what it represents and reflects, will not disappear and be forgotten about by Labor Day 2009.

06/30/09 07:03 PM #30     Verdo Thomas Marv; What could have possessed you to take on such a daunting task as babysitting a reunion website? I applaud you. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting. And I want to thank my old homey, Dan Brown, for contacting me about the reunion and this fabulous site. It's been fun reading some of the entries on this forum. However, I was one of the few Central City kids in our class, so I'm giving a shout-out for good old Oquirrh Elementary memories to: Terry Spinks, Joe Rosendaal and Janie Best. Thanks again, Marv for this wonderful way to communicate. -vt

07/01/09 06:47 PM #31     Willy Revada Allen Don't let the MO's Control this reunion if you want too see me. Best Willy

07/03/09 08:02 PM #32     Dan Brown Ron Poulton speculated on the origins of the Leopard song. He was close but here is the real source.

07/07/09 02:49 PM #33     Jim Olsen LOOKS just like Pee Wee Herman in a dimly-lit theater right AFTER they turn up the house lights, and SOUNDS just like Tiny Tim warming up for 'Tiptoe through the tulips...' Great stuff, Dan! Eric's strained rendition of 'Old Man River' sounds better by the second!

07/09/09 04:18 PM #34     Marv Curtis On behalf of Allyne Kemp... Hi classmates - My husband and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary - yea we got married soon after graduation - I am now the mother of 6 - 2 sons and 4 duaghters five children are living as well as their spouses = my husband finally retired in September of last year and our only living son will soon be leaving for Afghanistan for the second time - being stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. We are now enjoying being alone together as well as our 12 grandchildren - 6 boys and 6 girls Won't be able to attend the reunion Saturday night, but will be thinking of all of you ! Allyne

07/17/09 12:11 PM #35     Thomas E. Thulin You know, I've been reading a lot of the bios and the forums, what a special thing we have here in this website. I have retouched with a few old friends that I didn't think I would ever find again, and some mistakes of some I thought I knew but didn't (sorry Deb). We need to contact those we know that haven't signed on yet and light a fire under them. Some of us can't be at the dinner, but a lot of us can be at the school. We aren't getting any younger, and the "In Memory" column is going to get longer unfortunately. Let's re-meet as many of us as we can while we have the chance. Some of us were friends from kindergarten. It would be great to rekindle that friendship, don't you think? Come-on, give us a hug. I'd even give Mavor a hug...well maybe a handshake, hah. See ya there. Tom

07/17/09 02:24 PM #36     Jim Olsen Well, who woulda thunk it??? Mark Stevens wagging his name all over the Home Page with a 'highfalutin' email address right to his desk at Deloitte Touche, only one of the most prestigious accounting/consulting firms on the planet, with his personal phone number right next to it. So I call him up, gullible enough to expect (since every single bean-counter I've ever met is so anal retentive they would never dream of writing a number down wrong) that I would actually speak to the man. And what happens? I get some pickle-sucking, crabby old Gestapo spinster informing me that "this is NOT Mark Stevens"! So buyer beware! Have this guy 'do' your taxes at your own risk! If he can't even get his own phone number right, imagine what he'll do with your dependent tax credit now that your dependents are all grown & out of the house (except the ones who can't find a job and move back in...). And mark (no pun intended) my words: he'll probably try to pin the blame on Marv for copying his number down wrong. Sounds more like 'high flatulent' than 'highfalutin'... Even after 40 years and, in your self-deprecating 'There are a lot of Mark Stevens out there' way, you're still THE MAN, Mark. (At my age, I'm closer to self-defecating, but that, as they say, is 'a- whole -nother' subject.)

07/24/09 05:47 PM #37     Patricia Rogers (Broadwell) Just a joke... that I couldn't resist! Here's to you, Mom!!! Drinking, Gambling, and Golf A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, "If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?" "No, I stopped drinking years ago," the bum said. "Will you use it to gamble?" "I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive." "Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?" "Are you NUTS! I haven't played golf in 20 years!" The man said, "Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife." The bum was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad." The man replied, "That's okay. I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf."

07/27/09 02:32 PM #38     Jim Olsen This could actually work, People!!! > Dr. Dave Thomas (plastic surgeon) can bring the botox in the little black bag no doctors use anymore and do all the 'touch-up' work (which admittedly will instantaneously morph into extreme make-overs on some of us); > Dr. 'Feel Good' Homer Smith (anesthesiologist) can smuggle in six-packs of assorted user-friendly narcotics to ensure that our collective pain management is well-controlled; > Various in-laws / out-laws of Sally Ralphs Larkin can wait in the wings to provide taxidermy services to any interested parties when it all goes SOUTH; and (for those of us with families whose response to our demise would be 'Good riddance') > Dr. Ernest (Pete) Baldwin (internal medicine) can arrange clandestine, discreet removal of body parts to be compacted into fertilizer pellets for use on the myriad golf courses surrounding his clinic in West Virginia (they don't call it 'GREENbrier' for nothing, y'know - wink, wink). (Of course, the botox might make the greens a bit more difficult to navigate . . . a small price to pay) Doesn't it provide you with a degree of comfort to know, thanks to the phenomenal academic baptism we received at dear old East High, that we are so well connected and prepared for any conceivable outcome?!? Bring it on!

07/29/09 08:39 AM #39     Martha A Blickensderfer (Duke) Martha A. Blickensderfer Duke Still working not retired yet, still living in Salt Lake City, have a wonderful husband of 19 years, took a while to find a guy with a short name to go along with my l-o-n-g name. have been filling in my life with a divorce, widowhood and now some longetivity with marriage. Sure would be nice to hear from some of the Stewart School group. and the others who attended our dear East High.

07/31/09 10:42 AM #40     Marv Curtis I have enjoyed all of the photos that have been uploaded, but it only makes me want to see more. If you don't know how to put a photo on your profile but you would like to, just email your photos to me at marvcurtis@gmail.com and i will post them for you.
