Motorcycle update:
"Nancy Savery here - Doug's (class '61) wife. I don't know exactly what you're looking for but: Doug took his big black & silver Honda Valkyrie motorcycle on a trip to the Black Hills Sept 12-17, along with a MC'ing buddy. He only got into motorcycles about 8 yrs ago - really surprised me! Must be one of those "bucket list" things! Ha!

Here are some pictures from the 2008 gathering. We (Marion Rickert-Thorpe, Dick Reddish and I) hosted a cocktail party on Thursday before the scheduled functions. It was for the class of 1956 and friends! The slide show then progresses to Friday night at the dorm, and then the "hall party" that followed. The end of the slideshow are pictures from the banquet.

Don't leave without checking out the Video Gallery  in the menue on the left! Precious video of the 1966 Tutor's marching band at Pershing. (scroll to near bottom of selections)

Bob Mercier
I was just trying to notify your group that Bob passed away on the 16th, the funeral is tomorrow. (Sat. 20th)  I'll always remember the year he was emcee for the all schools reunion at the Cornhusker, wish I could remember which year that was.  Bob was in the class of '49, and originally thought he was going to be emcee for his class reunion, and here it was for all three University associated high schools - it was wonderful to be there.
Bob is in the arms of his dear Lord and we are happy for him, but we are surely sad for ourselves.  TCHS was important to him, playing basketball, the great friends, etc.

Bill Johnson('50), who has an amazing recall, recorded this at the 2005 reunion. Just talked to Stan Matzke, Jr., and got news that Bill was involved in a tractor accident this fall, was airlifted to Lincoln, and had a leg amputated below the knee. He is recovering, and his memories are still as vivid as ever, according to Stan. (January 5,2008)

TCHS Music Charter

E-mail Print PDF
The Charter hangs in the main hall of the School of Music outside of 107 WMB.  I don't know much about the "Music Charter."

Perhaps Don Johnson w ould recognize some of the names if he saw it.  They are quite faded and are not really visible on the picture.

I'm happy to share this photograph with you and other TCHS alums.

Does High School Still Matter?

E-mail Print PDF

Forty three years after graduation from University High, I keep wondering, "do those high school years still matter?"

I rarely run into classmates. I rarely think about those high school years. But something still keeps tugging at me to "stay in touch".

You think about it, those 3 years I spent there, aren't that long, compared to the rest of my life. College took me 4 and a half years, and I don't have any connection to my Journalism classmates. Once in a rare while someone stops back in Lincoln, visiting family and manages to find me at home in my studio in the Haymarket, but this is rare.

So, what keeps me so "connected" to that small high school that closed two years after I graduated? Good question. Do any of you have an answer?
