    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: I ran for my life on 911.

Now the hard one. Tell us what we need to know...50 years in the space below:

The past 50 years have been very good - Alan and I married while still in College and had an excellent life - we raised two wonderful children. Our son Craig is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston and is married to Colleen - my wonderful daughter-in-law. Colleen is a managing editor of the Petro Chemicals division of McGraw Hill in Houston. TX. They have my 2nd grandson Alexander who just turned 2. Our daughter Allison is the mother of my oldest grandson Darren - she is a single mother having divorced many years ago. She works in the Gilbert School System here in Arizona and she and Darren live with me. Darren is my travel buddy - so far we have been to Alaska, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, along with San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, and most Caribbean islands. This past summer we visited 8 ballparks in 9 days on a Baseball trip - had a great time. Alan and I, while we are divorced, remain great friends - I guess I am very lucky.

Finally, if you had to do it all over again, I would...

Not change anything - I have had a fabulous life - I am thankful for everything that I have been able to accomplish.
