I met John David because of my husband, Bob Hunt ( class of '52 )
They shared a love of Winslow High School and the Eskimos' basketball teams. Bob greatly admired John David, and considered him a friend. I did too.Bette

So sorry about John's passing. He fill be remembered and honored forever for his service to Winslow High School and the Class of 1954. His website is incomparable, a work of love, the heart of the Eskimo spirit, and the heart of connectivity and reunions. He was loved by so many, and will be missed by so many. He was a great friend and childhood buddy..... Good show, John....... We look forward to seeing you in the great reunion in heaven..... Sorry, but conflicts will not allow us to attend the funeral....... We pray for peace, comfort, strength, endurance, and faith of Susan and all of his family...... Ceil and Roger Nichols (WHS 1954)
