Another B-day! We are all getting "up there". I'm well, still working full time as an Architect. Hope to see you in Michigan when I visit next summer.

Happy Birthday, Laurel! I'll try to see you and your sister when I visit my sister's daughter in Suttons bay next summer.

Happy Birthday, Jim! I just designed a new home in Vt. for a Judge who lives in NYC. I trust that you are well.

Happy Birthday, Jack! Are you still practicing medicine? I'm still working as an Architect full time.

Happy Birthday, Joyce. I hope that you are well! I'm still well, active and working full time.

Happy Welcome To Earth Day jim

Congrats on impressive resume!

Well ditto my last message of 2022, and early Happy Birthday. We’re still hangin’ in there! Just got back from a cooler winter in Az. And looking forward to a busy summer. Hoping you’re doing well and haven’t washed away with all the rain and snow fall. Have a great day. Jim

I agree with those who say that this is a proper place to fill out the memory of Bill Mitchell -- his bright side, his dark side, and everything in between. He was certainly a person many of us have clear memories of. For me he was an athlete, socially active, and a brave, tough, warrior. (I don't doubt anything that has been said here about his darker side. Although I wasn't afraid to be around him, there were times when he let me know who was tougher.)

If the history of the Class of '64 were written, I'd rank him second only to Jim Barr as a fearsome street fighter. Gerald says Dave Jakesone was #1, but I don't remember him, and his name is not on the Classmate Profiles list. Barr is listed in the Class of '64, and I remember him as a classmate. Its not always easy to get history right, and smart people can disagree on the details. (As an aside, Barr was once in need of a lawyer. We had an art teacher at North Campus who was a lawyer, and he helped get Barr out of trouble pro bono. I can't remember that teacher's name.)

Thanks, Gerald Williams. Now I remember that bit of campus lore. George Pankow was reputed to be way up there in the ranks. Too bad there aren’t any fight records that would definitively show who was the top street fighter in our school. I think that Frank and George were Class of ’63. So that would leave Jim as tops in the Class of ’64.  Elimination bouts between the three would have been an amazing contest. If only we could go back in time!
