Sr Bulldog Luncheon - Skate Keys and All!

GREAT! Thanks so much Cathy - I know everyone will enjoy reading this!

Hey CP:

Pics 4-7) THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE MARINES! Gary Smedsted ('64); John Coyle ('65); and Jon Kirkwood ('64)

I spoke with Gary Smedsted after the Sr. Bulldog luncheon today. He told me that his family, including his brother, "Dewey" Smedstad, had moved up North to the San Jose area in 1965. Since Gary had just graduated and eventually enlisted into the Marines, he decided to stay in Burbank. Unfortunately, Dewey died in San Jose, July of 1990.

Also at the meeting, Linda Durkee Johnson, (in charge of the Alumni Drill Team), announced that "any" alumni of Burbank High School is welcome to march in the Drill Team in Burbank on Parade (April 26th); and also in the Centennial Parade in September.
