Mystery woman

A fellow I knew back in high school, Fred Stone, contacted me a few months ago after one of his nieces happened to run across my blog. Since then, Fred and I have exchanged many e-mails renewing old acquaintance and catching up on happenings of the last fifty-mppfh years. He was one year behind me in school and in those days we attended the same church youth group.

This week he sent me this photo from 1958 of our high school’s science club (click on the photo to make it larger):


Between us, we can name every person but one in the photograph. Standing, from left to right, are Wayne Riley, Marshall Tyson, moi, Mr. Steelman (the science teacher), Bruce Hornell, and John Paul Norvell. Seated, from right to left (just to be different), are Richard Stone, Mary Elizabeth North, Fred (no relation to Richard), Glenda Geyer, and someone neither Fred nor I can identify.

Unless someone can tell us her name, she must forever remain The Mystery Woman.

His guess was Mitzi Gaynor.

That Fred is such a card.

This is my 900th post.

Thank you, Jeannelle! It was nothing, really.

Except that it was.

Congratulations on 900 posts!

Do you have a year book?

Katherine said...

900! That's great going Robert! Have you thought of writing a book? Oh that's right, you already did :-)

Theanne, I do not have a yearbook, but that is a great idea. Maybe someone Fred knows does.

Katherine, keep your eyes peeled for number 901....

P.S. to Theanne - I found an online copy of my high school yearbook from the year I was a Senior, but the Science Club photo was in the "Activities" section with lots of other club photos and had no caption except "Mr. N.O. Steelman, Sponsor" -- too bad.

Putz - I don't know quite how to respond.
