Read MoreI wonder if Coach Catlin realized how many people have held him in their memories after all of these years. As a child the main thing I remember, was thinking what a handsome and gentle man he was. My sympathy to all his family and friends. Judy Hamlow (Qualls) Maroa, Illinois Class of 1960

I had Coach Catlin as my teacher in 1956 when I was in 8th grade at Maroa Grade School. He was a wonderful teacher and coach. I recently wrote my "Memories" for my children and he was included with a picture of him at our Class Trip to New Salem. My deepest Sympathy goes out to you all. Diana (Thrall) Koshinski

'Coach' took a picture of me in my 'store-bought' pink dress when I was in Junior at Maroa Grade School. I have treasured it ever since. What a wonder man... we all admired and loved him so.. Judi 'Allsup' Cole
