I am saddened to know that Sue Creswell Walling has died. I visited her in Mesa several times in recent years. . I planned to stop by Mesa in May and introduce her to Dorothy, whom I married four and a half years after my wife of fifty-one years passed away. I messaged Sue several weeks ago and it was a surprise that she did not reply. Now it seems that I know why. Sue was vivacious and outgoing in high school and in her last years.
I was a scoutmaster of Troop 343 that met at a building on the edge of the playground at Oneonta School. Danny was a member of the troop. I attended his Bar Mitzva when he was thirteen. He was very bright and amiable.
Our class of '56 is gradually fading away. Gordy and I both entered Kindergarten at Lincoln School in the fall of 1943. There were times when I went to Gordy's home. The first time I ever slept outdoors in a sleeping bag was in his backyard. We knew each other until our high school graduation. His family has my sympathy. Larry McHargue
I knew Bruce as a Scout, and later as a very close friend. He joined the Orthodox Presbyterian Church to which I belonged, and he became my best friend at that time. He used to come to my home after the evening church service and spend time with me and my wife. I miss him to this day. I know that we will be together when I go to be with the Lord. He was interred at the military cemetary at Point Loma. There is a plaque with his name on it in the lawn of the War Memorial Building. Bruce was very close to his family.
