Family Photos

Several classmates and spouses get together for lunch every few

weeks.  On March 16th, they met at "The Three Brothers" in Labadie,

Mo.  Below are Marilyn Butler Ware and Paul Ware, Jim Portmann and

Betty Jaeger Portmann and Barbara Russell Harry with husband Jim.

Normally, Marilyn Ham Coffman and husband Chuck are with them, but

they are on vacation in Texas.  Notice the sign in the window, "Check your

guns at the bar"....You are welcome to join the group.  Call or e-mail any

of them.

Cliff Bragdon, right end, Dean and Associate Provost at Florida Institute of Technology

is pictured with his band featuring three deans and five profs from the university.  Their

band name is "TWITCHY" which includes all their first names.  They play music from the

50s and 60s and have played to audiences that includes nearly 4000 people.  Cliff was

nicknamed "Mr. Bongo" by Rod Susman in our senior year of high school after he played

the drums for an LHS musical.   Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as technical support

to NASA and has not only produced many astronaut graduates, but has three former

astronauts on the faculty.
