Mike Vickers was a classmate of by late older brother Ivan Salyer, Jr. and Peter Vickers was a classmate of mine.

My first ride in a Mercedes convertible was with Mrs. Vickers transporting Peter and me to the former Crestview Bowl in NE Wichita WAY back in the day.

Great times in the old College Hill neighborhood with fellow Blessed Sacrament Catholic School friends.

Prayers to the Vickers family and rest in peace Mrs. Vickers.
