    newHickLogoWe are reprinting Ron Wencer's article about Mary Keller, Part 2, which includes new information about a photograph on page 6, along with a fascinating footnote.  We are pleased to include another episode of Where Are They Now?, featuring Hal Blackman from the Class of 1977. We think you will find his story fascinating and helpful! Last month, we asked those who served to email us. Our webmaster created a new section under Honoring our Vets, where you will see Our Veterans' Stories. Please continue to send us your information so we can add you to this section. Or, if you are already a website member, you can create your story as a Personal Blog. Email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

One thing that no one knows about me is: Billy Joel was a friend of my brother. When I came home from school one day in 1961, I found a large number of kids in the house having a party. They apparently were skipping school. I told all of them to get out of the house (Billy Joel was in that group).

Now the hard one...tell us what we need to know...50 years in the space below:
I was a school Principal for 32 years, I was honored as Instructional Leader for Henrico County Schools (1994), and was the Grand Marshall for the Glen Allen (a community near Richmond , VA ) annual parade in 2003.

Finally, if you had to do it all over again, I would...be more active in school activities at Hicksville H.S.
