5 B folders

Well, I see I forgot again to post last Saturday. Tonight  I'll add some folders  that start with B. Bailey, Baker,  Bevin, Biro and (I think) Barquet.  Can't read that last one real well. Next week I'll do Barton, Baugh, and Brown. There are about 25 pictures in those folders. Now that I look these over, I'm not entirely sure I have the right teacher's name on every photo. If you see something I need to fix, let me know.

Reply to me at cedarrose61@hotmail.com and I'll get one off in the mail right away.  And thanks.

Am also selling a book for $15 called 'Please Mr. Postman'.  Collected letters and emails from family, friends, teachers that I've kept since the 50's.  Search on ebay under "Port Townsend". I think it's on page 5.

Remembering Mike

I received some pictures in the mail today (along with an obit) from the widow of Mike Martin. I intend to use some of the photos in a book I'm putting together this spring when my class celebrates our 50th reunion.  You may remember that Mike (class of 1961) was married to Joan Curtis, (class of 1962). Joan has also passed on.

I'd also like to mention that to those of you who wondered...No, I won't be posting our reunion book online.  It's just a remembrance copy for those in our class.

Long Live Rock & Roll

This picture was takin  in the late 50's, maybe early 60's? of Gene Petersen, Mike Martin, and Bob Blaurock practicing. Judy Scott is also in the background. The Brothers were a popular band and they're shown here in Bob's kitchen on Harrison St in Port Townsend.


Sharon Sofie Mailloux (class of PT '61) recently caught Gene and Bob performing at the Waitsburg Days near Walla Walla.  Gene graduated from Chimacum in 1962 and Bob graduated from Port Townsend in 1960.  Still lookin' good too!   (click on photo to enlarge)





Here's another photo with Corky Keehn, (3rd from the left) who was in the class of '61, and also played sax in the band.
