GLEN B BUTLER

I've known Don since the fourth grade and never knew him to not be a complete gentleman even though he was even then the best athlete in the school. Always cool, always the best in sports, big,fast and strong but never one to put it in your face. Many a games when the crowd riff was Calhounnn! He brought a lot of pride to North High and the only class member to play pro football. Never saw him after high school but in the fifty years after, never heard a single rumor about him. It is sad when good men leave us if for no reason other than that there is not a whole lot of them. Some of the best memories I have of High School include Calhoun. The memories still linger even though the memory maker has left us. They say no one dies as long as they are remembered, I will always remember Don Calhoun.

Happy Happy Birthday

Hey folks! Remember when Joel was the first kid to grow a mustache at John Marshall?

There are some people that are born cool and instantly likeable. Joel was the best athlete of our class. The pride of John Marshall. At North he held his own, he wasn't "Don Calhoun"but he was no slouch! He was cool in high school, and let us not forget those were the "sixties". There were a lot of pretender and it was not him. Joel was the same guy at fifty as he was at fifteen. We had our moment but we both grew beyond it and became better men. Joel was a man of character and a overall good guy. I will miss not having him at our fiftieth class reunion, he was a big part of us and we are less without him. I waited to comment to give others who were closer to say their piece because I wasn't a close friend but I always enjoyed his company and he was a man I respected. I will miss him.

IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE A BIRTHDAY! BEST WISHES.

Willie was a cool  guy with quick wit and a "man in charge personality" I knew him well all three years at North High, a pretty fastrunner and better looking than the aveage guy. I never saw Morgan after gradutation which I regret because he was an intersting person. He will be missed by his family and friends, he was a man that was interesting and fun to know.

Cris, was a nice person with subtle good humor. I can never remember her at odds with anyone. I always thought of her as a "good chick." Travel well on your new journey.
