* Footnote:
October 2024 RLW to Sue Boswell Dail: I do not find any record of Jimmy Koenig being in our class. I know you must have a reason for sending me his obituary information, so I wonder if he belongs on the website as a completely new addition. Please let me know your thinking about this.
Sue Boswell Dail to RLW: Here is a list that should help. It was included (names only) when Class of ’64 information was passed on to me prior to our 40th reunion. As I recall it may have been the brainchild of one or some thinking it was a good idea to include those associated with the class for reasons other than graduation. Who knows? At this point, inclusion may be a much better idea than not.
RLW: Johnny Ray Corbett was included as a "Friend of the Class of 1964."
