Dear Bobby, I will miss your smile, your laughter, your craziness! RIP my sweet sweet friend. Know you are loved.

As I approach the final chapters of a fortunate life lived, and the silhouette of fate's final accounting is seen less dimly, I am reminded of how grateful I am for the people I have been fortunate enough to encounter.  Bob Kirk was one such eternal individual. While I did not know Bob well, I appreciated his laconic humor, subtle mayhem and fixed lack of seriousness in which he engaged in Mrs. Atchley's senior English class.  His was a constant subtle barrage of his own observations made public.  His flying encounter with Delaney Wells in the auditorium (during a film study) was one of the most spectacular Kirkisms at which I was privileged to be present.  I believe the world is a far less interesting place without Bob.  Rest In Peace.  

Thank you Jim Huber and Cassie Grim for making us aware.  Thank you Danny Armstrong for being the keeper of the memories and notifier-in-chief.  Godspeed, good will and grace to all my classmates.  I hope this message finds you all well, COVID-free, and in the throes of a happy and mindful Thanksgiving week. 

Peace

Thanks John for your beautiful words of our friend & classmate, Bob.   I witnessed Bob's antics in Mrs Atchley's English class and I can attest he brought comic relief to the stereotypical senior English class.  In fact, thinking back on our English class, the only 2 characters that come to my mind are Mrs Atchley & Bob Kirk.  I'm glad to learn you were there too!  I am willing to bet if Mrs Atchley were alive today, she would crack a smile & give a chuckle if the name, "Bob Kirk" were mentioned in her presence.

I missed out on the incident in the auditorium between Bob & Delaney.   I'd love to hear the story as I'm sure others would as well.   Sadly, neither of the main actors are with us today.

RIP, Bob.

Bob, BOB!! You can't do this to us, we always thought you would be the eternal comic relief we all need and no more so than now. Deepest sympathy to his family but know that he was loved.

Will never forget both Bob and Charlie in Lilis's class. During the yrs I would run into Bob at different places of employment and would have a great time at the bar. RIP

Re Bob

Our fellow classmate Bob was such a character!  His memory will always live in our Hearts (...the Heart like the mind has a memory - Longfellow).

Condolences from Roxanne and family.

God Bless Bob, may he Rest In Peace

Tommy Benson, it will be a glorious reunion in heaven! 💕

Stephen Leas

I just heard about Tommy's passing. He was such a wonderful spirit and a great friend. I had a chance to run around with him at Mac. When ever he came to my house he would talk for hours with my Dad (who went to Marquette on a track scholarship) about running.  We went to many kicker dances in Quihi at the VFW. Lost touch after I joined the Navy. I know that he is in the best place and I will strive to meet him there one day. God Bless his family and friends. Steve

I heard from Randy Alles this week. He's travelliing on business and won't be able to make it to the reunion.

Nancy Clendenning (McCowan)

I hope I have the correct forum/page for this request. 
Does anyone have an extra 1972 yearbook? Perhaps someone that married a '72 classmate and each of you got a yearbook? I didn't get one and would very much like to have one. TIA. Nancy

Hello everyone who attended the reunion!  First off, it was great to see everybody!  And by any chance did anyone find a silver oval hoop earring at the event at Bracken Store on Friday?!  Thanks,  Chris Richardson DeVos

Hi, everybody.

I've been trying to track down a story that Mrs. Peak had flown military planes during WW II, possibly as a member of the WAAF. Does anyone know about her early life? Has anyone been in touch with her family?

Thanks,

Paul

Paul Holland

Paul --

I never had Mrs Peak but if you have access to some of the other Mac websites from prior to our year, you might try to ask those schoolmates too. I realize that some, if not all the Mac websites are restricted to only those who register.   

I asked my sister - class of '67 - but she didnt know any history of Mrs Peak.  

Maybe Danny Armstrong or Butch Gerfers can offer some suggestions?

Good luck.

Charles Volz (Class Of '73)

Mrs. Peak's son Howard Peak was on San Antonio City Council in the 1980's. He had a 
"City Planning" degree of some sort and worked for real esate developer owned by TETCO back then. I believe that was her only child, but not possitive. You should be able to locate him if he is still around.

Thanks very much! I had stumbled across a genealogy site that says she also had two daughters. And that she passed away in 1992 at age 70.

Cheers,

Paul

A few memories from Elizabeth (Johnson) Smith and Molly (Ashman) Shannon - Beth had the photos! We were across the street neighbors and friends for life!

From Robert Cuddy had posted passing of our fellow 71 classmate  Marilyn Dyer Jones. What a wonderful sweet person. She will be missed.

We are deeply saddened to hear about Marilyn's passing. According to her son, Marilyn was at a physical therapy clinic, possibly working on her legs in preparation for an upcoming knee surgery. Tragically, she collapsed while there, initially suspected to have suffered a stroke. However, it was later revealed that she had blood clots in her body, which impaired her heart's function and led to her untimely death.

This sudden and unexpected loss is profoundly heartbreaking. Marilyn attended the last monthly Class Breakfast on June 8, 2024, where she was in good spirits and enthusiastic about the positive developments in her life. Her cheerful presence and optimism will be sorely missed.

We extend our heartfelt condolences and best wishes to her family and friends during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.....see class 71.. God Bless Mariline and her family.
