     (2) In answer to our report on the death of Jerry Kinney, Bernie Lewiston, Perry HS-60, replied.  "I was also very sorry to learn of Jerry's passing. Some of our kids had Jerry as a band director when he was at Ogden and they loved him. I was active in the Ogden Music Boosters in the early 1980's and worked with Jerry on several projects, including a trip to Dakota Band Days in Rapid City and buying new uniforms. Jerry was always looking for new adventures, and put together a small band, here in Ogden, of some of us adults, plus a few younger folks. We played polkas, marches, waltzes, and some dixieland and had a great time. I played bass horn, which I hadn't played since 1960 when I graduated from Perry High School. Jerry helped me get back to speed. He and his wife, Sandy, played trumpets, the late Stan Friesan, Ogden High School Principal, played trombone, and we picked up occasional other instrumentalists as they were available. I painted a hay rack blue and white. We hooked it behind my pickup, which wife Evelyn drove, and we were in several surrounding town parades as well as in the Ogden Fun Days parade. We also played at various other events in Ogden. It all ended when Jerry took another job and left town with his trumpet and all the music."
     (3) Loren Frazier, BHS-58, wrote, "At our 60-year class reunion in October of 2018, I brought up the fact that there might be a class 80th birthday celebration in 2020. There was mention that Nashville might be a good location. After contacting several classmates, I've found that there is a consensus that having it in Boone might be better attended. So plans are underway and the likely dates are September 15-17, 2020. On the 16th and 17th we will plan on either a lunch or dinner. On the 15th, if there are enough classmates, locally, or arriving attendees we will plan on an evening get-together. Please let me know if you have a preference for either lunch or dinner on each of the dates September 16 and 17. The locations will be determined and other decisions made when we find out how many attendees we will have. Please let me know of your plans to attend and and questions or suggestions."
