We have lost another friend.  Bill Mitchell  passed away on March 26th.  I have downloaded the obituary, but the site's software has changed and I am unable to duplicate it, so for now please click on the link.  'A life well lived' I'd say. /000/2/4/8/1842/userfiles/file/Mitchell.jpeg  

Peter Rowe came across two articles on Bill.  The first is a more readable version of the clip I attempted to paste together in the message forum. Newspaper Article.  The second is the transcript of a storycorp interview with Bill, Storycorp.

We have lost a good friend.  Barney Pierpont passed away on February 5. 2025 in Payson, Arizona.  I'm told he went to rest after feeling ill at breakfast and didn't awaken.  Barney was a good friend to every one of us; he was always interested in our school, our class and his classmates and he went out of his way to maintain contact with all of us.  For years he orchestrated an annual dinner that began with Tom Keating's departure for military service.  Barney is survived by his wife Vicki, his two children John and Aimee and their children.  He will be missed.

Once again Im adding sad news:

Im told that John Griffith passed away on December 28th.  Apparently he has been ill, even bedridden, for some time,  I have little additional information. but hopefully we will learn more in the coming weeks.  John and his wife, Anita, lived in Fort Bragg and as a result few of us saw him regularly in the last years.

I was also informed that Covey McKnight had passed away, and a bit of looking turned up this obituary from 2022.  I could not copy the article and so I will try to reproduce it here: (Mistakes are mine)
