We're Movin' On

     You may have noticed........in recent editions we've had a "countdown" of "days to go."
     A few people have questioned that........wondering, "what?"
     Fact is we, the Kelley's, are moving to a different address. After 32 years at 710 Aldrich, as of Wednesday, October 4, we will be at a new location......928 South Jackson Street.
     With all the hassle connected with moving, we will not have a moving day edition Wednesday. However, we hope everything will be back in place for a regular Saturday, October 7, comeback. Anyway, we will back........sometime.
     Nothing has changed except the address. Phone number, website.....still the same.

     Jerry Manriquez, BSH-57, when not lounging in the California sun is still working hard on a constant update of his terrific website. Here are some recent additions:
     BSH and Ryan High graduation pictures from 1893-1970.
     Sarah Eastlund of the Public Relations Office at BHS has sent class lists for 2006-2015.
     BHS yearbooks have been received from: Wendall Condon, for 1975; Stella Rilling Alexander, 1978; Lisa McGee Sebring, 1979-80; Kim Madden Ohge, 1981; Monica Nystrom McHugh, 1982-86; Barbra Madden Peterson, 1987-88; David Howell and John Howell, 1994-99; Rhaechel Ohge, 2005-08 and Chad Ohge, 2012.
     In the next month or so, Jerry said he would be uploading BHS scrolls sent by Colette Stumbo, for 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Robert Lay will be sending a 1990 edition.
     Tom Tays is sending Boone Junior College/DMACC yearbooks from 1972-75.

     Right to the point: (1) Dick Longworth, BHS-53, said his book, "Caught in the Middle," which came out in 2008, has done real well, six printings. (2) Vern Modeland, BHS-50, reminded that his classmate, Chuck Brainerd, built his own profitable specialty electronics antenna business for government and others was "mostly rooted from what our BHS teacher, H.L. Cunningham, taught a few of us who took his specialty class called, "Radio." Vern asked, "how many other high schools have a story like that that no one has shared. Not many, if any." (3) John Kueck, BHS-61, wrote, "I know Boone is a big softball/Little League town. I watched the Little League girls World Series on TV. Does Boone have a similar league? Where do they play?"
     In answer to John's query the Kornerman says, "yes, we've had similar competition but it appears that both Little League and Babe Ruth in Boone has lost some of its appeal. At least, there aren't as many leagues, teams and players as in their earlier years. Soccer is getting blamed for some of the loss. That sport seems to be growing steadily."
