    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 don't even know it!

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

Life isn't always easy financially, or health wise, but with God in control all things are possible. I became a Christian in 1982 and my outlook at life changed dramatically. Like many, I've lost both my parents, but stay in touch with my sister (HHS '73). It is also nice to keep in touch with some old friends via Facebook and email. My retirement has taken a lot of work stress away so I am enjoying it more and more each day. God bless all who read this. Maybe see you next reunion!
