Thanks much to George Howard for the great picture along with most of the names of the intramural players!No uniforms for intramural basketball, so we had to have shirts versus skins.
Identifiable players from left to right:
Jim Krieger, Doug Deeter, Ron Hinrichs, Dave Beilby, George Howard and Steve Burns.
I thought it was appropriate to post this on George's birthday. Happy Birthday George!
We lost another GREAT ONE. Unassuming, kind and a Damned Good Presbyterian! We both sang in choir..( OK I tried!) and both taught in Preschool Sunday School ( again at least I tried..I was in loved with Pam's sister in law). As cupid might have it; Pam was dating what appears to be one of my fraternity brothers, to become her long time husband! Pam asked me if I would agree to invitation from Joni Knaub ( Yes Tom's sister) to their Sadie Hawkins dance. (Joni and Tom Knaub and myself used to Scuba Dive together) ...Answer: "Hell YES!" ...The four of us had a GRAND time...Wish them all the best and thank them for all the things the Tomlinsons taught me!
The following article appeared in the Sept. 18, 1970 edition of the LSE Clarion, which says a lot about Ted:
LSE Clarion, SEP 18, 1970, Page 8
Dresselhous, Fisher, Fox, Graf Compete for Scholarship
Four seniors have been named semi-finalists in the 1970-71 National Merit Scholarship program. The are Julie Dresselhaus, Adrienne Fisher, John Fox and Burket (Ted) Graf. These students are among the top one percent of the 1971 graduating class. They are among 14,750 semi-finalist competing for 3,000 Merit Scholarships to be awarded in 1971.
These semi-finalists now have to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test on November 7 and score above 600 on both the math and verbal sections in order to be a finalist.
Finalists are then considered for 1,000 National Merit $1,000 Scholarships and for the four year merit scholarships offered by some 500 sources. Winners of these may receive up to $1,500 each year during four years of college.
Winners will be announced next spring.
Dennis and I weighed about the same amount, in Junior High and/or LSE. When we got to the wrestling phase of PE, we had this "unspoken pack' that we would 'challenge', each other as we were in same 'weight class'...He would always just roll over and I would "pin" him. In those moments, I learned, and stil believe, he was the 'gentliest and humblest giant' of us all!
Dennis was a wonderful person and muscian. We spent noon hours at LSE discussing the state of the world, and stayed connected over the years though his career, and later as his health and his vision declined. One of my now enduring treasures is the gift of his Daysteam album. He made his world a beautiful place.
I am posting in memory of Gary Scott. I was blessed by knowing him and he was in several of my classes during out senior year. Gary always went out of his way to be friendly to me during 10th grade as did many others. Gary excelled at athletics-especially swimming. I'll always remember him with fondness and send heartfelt sympathy to his family.
Gary had the most gorgeous back stroke. I believe he had a scholarship to Arizona University for swimming. We were hired to Woods pool during the summer. We played tennis barefoot in our swimsuits before lifeguarding. Gary was very funny guy. He told me he did his laundry at home but didn't know he had to put detergent in it. He had such beautiful blue eyes. I'm saddened to hear of his passing. Prayers for his family and friends. Candy Carroll Schrader
Hope you had a Happy Birthday Randy
John as you enter into 2022 Fire Season remember to keep you zipper up, your head down and you hard hat on! You are in our prayers!!!
