John Howard CROUCH

My memories of working with John and Jennie at Hualapai and with Southwest Series and just hanging out with them as friends is one of the highlights of my life.

John and I were roommates at the University of Oklahome in the early 60s. I had a caiman in one half of a counter-top terrarium (because I was going be a 'biologist') and he had a guinea pig in the other half (because he was going to be a 'psychologist'). I used to go out to OU's fish hatchery to get a jar little mosquito fish (gambusia) to feed the caimen. John devised a Pavlovian plan to teach the guinea pig to ring a little bell-with-a-clapper (it made a sharp 'ding') when it wanted to be...

Jennie, keeping you in my thoughts. Perhaps, like me, your lifetime with John continues, even now. Hope all's well with you. warmly, molly

Jennie- Just hearing about this. It's been a long time. I remember John - you both - as such good people. Sorry for your loss. -Jimbo

Jennie - I was sad to learn of John's passing. You and he were great friends to me when I first landed in San Francisco from DC circa 1971 when you lived on Guerrero St. I just got your number from Jim Conlon and was hoping to reconnect. Deepest sympathies to you and your family. If you would like to connect, my email is [email protected] Thanks - Neil

I only knew John when we were young children in Drumright,OK. His mother and my Dad William E. Mode were related as Sellers. Davis Sellers called me to let me know of your loss and I am sending you my deepest sympathy.

Jennie:
I was sorry to of John's passing.
My condolences to you and your family.

John,
Sorry to hear of your passing. It was a pleasure working with you at Pueblo Magnet HS. You started the Magnet Program in Communication Arts and Technology. You gave and showed students the opportunities that were out there for them. You thought them that all things are possible. The meaning of Si Se Puede! I will forever remember taking students ever year to Las Vegas to the NAB conference, hoover dam, media, technology, software, getting the media studio, radio station here...

I am very sorry to hear of John's passing. I met John while taking an introductory Media class at the UA. I was a Senior at Tucson High. He came up to me and asked if I would be interested in going his group, the Manzo Media Project. It's goal was to record the oral history of Tucson's Barrios. I said sure.
With three other high school students he had recruited, John taught us not only how to use the equipment he had, but how to tell a story. We would invite Senior Citizens who had...
