Happy upcoming 70th birthday, Jill! I'm surprised we didn't cross paths at some point in your career: I, too, worked at Park, King Lab, and ETHS! Glad you're doing well and wish you many more!

Stephen died way too young.  He was a great guy. We used to toss around a football in Ben Wolf's backyard on Oakton, in Evanston.  We called him Shapes. One night I went Downtown Chicago with Steve and Ben Wolf. We saw the movie version of the stage show "Camelot"  We sat in the balconly, and really enjoyed this movie, full of wonderful Lerner & Loewe tunes, great cinematography, and lots of pageantry.

I remember Marilyn aka "Cookie" very well.  She was in my class at Oakton School.  A very kind and thoughtful individual.  Taken way too soon. R.I.P. Cookie.  Michael Dorn

I remember Harry--he was a super-talented dancer, and a very nice individual.  I remember how he danced in a summer production of the musical OKLAHOMA!, and how wowed them with his dancing in YAMO.  He was also a very talented gymnast.  Taken way too soon. R.I.P. Harry.

I met John "Gerry" Kenndy at NIchols Jr. High.  We were in a production of the play ANTIGONE, writtne by jean Cocteau.  Jerry was a very personable individual, and extremely bright.  He was taken way too soon.  Michael Dorn.

I remember you well, dear Chuck.  You were in my Honors English classes, and on the debate team.  I met your sister-in-law, Wendy Griffin when I embarked on a 3-year teacher certification program, at Northeastern Illinois University.  You had so much going for you.  How sad that you were taken way too soon.  Michael Dorn

Patty, i remember meeting you in Mrs. Bauer's Oral Interp. class.  You were so smart and so full of LIFE.  And I remember our going to a production of the musical "Promises, Promises", at the Shubert Theatre, Downtown Chicago.  I also remember going to that very good Italian restaurant with you--Villa Gergenti, on Paulina, in Chgo. News of your passing really affected me, as we had become good friends with a good deal in common.  You were taken way too soon.  May you rest in   peace, dearest Pat.  Michael Dorn--E.T.H.S. class of 1971.

Carol--It's so good to be back in touch with you. And I want to wish you a very happy Birthday in advance.
Enjoy it to the max. I remember our days at Oakton School with the outstanding teacher, Mr. Edward T. Esty. And of course I remember you from Nichols Jr. High, and E.T.H.S. Wishing all the best, now and always--Michael Dorn.
