Doris, Family members and Friends As John was one of my grade school and high school friends so long ago, I will always fondly remember all our good times in Rensselaer we shared together. Those were such special years in my life and John was a close pal who made those years so magical and unforgetable. With sadness in my heart, Bill Andree,RHS Class of 1950, Monticello, Ind.
