In Loving Memory
I had Mr. Ivie for my 7th grade English class. He is one of several teachers that stand out in my mind from my years at Horace Mann Jr. High. I specifically remember him reading a story or novel to the class about an Indian boy and is life, and when Jimmy Monahan threw a paper airplane and was told to pick it up, Mr. Ivie took the opportunity to give Jimmy (the class clown) a soft whack on the rear as he bent over to pick it up. I enjoyed him and his teaching.

I lived next door to Uncle Neal and Uncle Jack from the moment they moved in in 1964 to 1979 when I moved out to join the Marine Corps. He was a dear friend to me and my parents.
