Thank you, Jeff for posting about Robby Daly.

I have wondered about his life and what he has been up to. Last time I saw him, Tommy, and Dave was just before I moved to San Francisco in 1984 at my house. You (my "growing up" next door neighbor), me, Tommy McGhie, Robby Daly, and Dave Hargreaves ('68) grew up together on 3080 East. Oh, the fun and memories from that time.

And now there are 3 of us still here..You, me, & Dave.

My friend and yours, Julie Kuhn Henderson, passed away at 2:00 am yesterday morning (3/23/2023). I don't know what the exact cause of her death was at that point, but she was plagued with several chronic problems. I suspect that her body was just too tired to carry on, as was she, herself, being house-bound and pretty much bed-bound. Several Skyline friends would visit as they could, or call her on the phone, which kept her spirits up through some lonely, depressing times. I'm sure you join me in saying that words fail to describe our loss  - she was sunshine to all of the Eagles of the Class of 1970, and especially to the AGOS officers with whom she worked. Bye, Jules. We loved you and will miss you!

I am so sorry to hear that Julie Kuhn has passed away. As you said, Darwin, she was the light of our class! She will be missed! Blessings to her family.

Darwin, I'm posting my phone number on open forum because I don't know how else to reach you. Please call me. 801-759-4492.

The Celebration Of Life for Ted Wilson will occur May 17, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at at the University of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium Tower. I hope that you plan to attend. I will be there, as Mr. Wilson was one of my favorite Skyline teachers. He was a great one, as anyone who had his Economics class will tell you. He was so thorough that much of the information he provided was college-level; in fact, I passed a California Subject Exam Test (CSET) in Economics , allowing me to teach the subject to California students, based ENTIRELY on what I learned in Mr. Wilson's class; furthermore, most of what I taught to my own students came from what I learned from him - all without having taken Economics in college. We came out of his class knowing both micro- and macro-economics, and in a way that even many prominent Utah businessmen don't yet understand (they tend to want the government to make its macro-economic policies imitate their home and business micro-economics). We also were taught to be "green" long before it was a thing.

I missed out on much of his mayorship, having moved to California in 1981. Still, I know that he was appreciated by Salt Lake residents of both political parties- something not unusual in that era ("I vote the man, not the party"), but something that still speaks to his judgment, organizational ability, and interpersonal skills.

Mr. Wison was one of the teachers I hoped to see at the upcoming "super reunion" brunch. Unfortunately, his passing serves to remind us, that few of the teachers we knew and loved in the late '60s and early '70s remain, and that we ought to have had brought them to all of our Class of 1970 reunions long before now. Russ Brown did bring Mme. Morck to one of our picnics, which was very special. As a result, I have stayed somewhat in touch with her and, so, have vistied her at her home. These people were an important part of our lives and I encourage us all to reach out to them and not just during the upcoming "super reunion."

Mr. Wilson was one of my favorite teachers, he made learning fun.

Mr. Wilson was the teacher we all loved.  He got us to think and taught us how to express our opinions.  He bonded with so many of us skiers.  Mr. Wilson, rest in peace and celebrate how you made your students better thinkers and human beings.  You made this world a better place than you found it.

Mr. Wlson was one of the greatest teachers at Skyline. Made you think and learn. 

Rest in Peace Mr. Wilson

Just heard that Jeff Jones passed away a month or so ago.  Apparently he had been sick and was in some sort of rest home at the time.

Darwin Ross

I'm very sorry to learn from Jeff Pinegar that our friend and classmate, Jeff Jones, had passed away. I remember him as being a clever and funny guy, all the way back to our time at Churchill Jr. High. My friend, Julie Kuhn, was bonkers over him, then, as well as in our sophomore year at Skyline. I don't blame her, as he was an extremely smart, likable, and atheletic young man. I extend my condolences to his family and friends.

Given the increasing rate of our classmates becoming incapacitated or passing, I really think that we should take every opportunity to continue to socialize with one another. So, in addition to Sid Uyetake's luncheons, I am starting a monthly breakfast gathering. On the first Tuesday of each month, please join me for breakfast at Left Fork Grill, 68 W 3900 S. We'll meet at 9:30 am. (Make an order for pie 24 hrs beforehand and you can go home with a pie - best in SLC). We'll start next month (December 2024).

See you Tuesday Deceber 3 at the Left Fork Grill

Thanks Darwin.  Appreciate you getting us together monthly for a delectable breakfast at Left Fork.  You're awesome!

Sounds like a good idea to me! Love Left Fork Grill!

Oh my goodness! I didn't know Jeff Jones well in high school, but recognize him in our yearbook pictures. The interesting thing is though, when I read Darwin's comment I thought how interesting! Our neighbor and dear friend Jeff Jones just passed away the end of July (His funeral was August 5th). Turns out my neighbor and friend for the last 10 years is one and the same as my former classmate!! Small world! His wife and I have season tickets to the Hale theater together because our husbands weren't interested in going. Jeff has not been in good health since we have lived in the same neighborhood.

Dear Darwin,

Thank you so much for the invitation for breakfast.  It is true, that I know we are feeling more and more our mortality.  We have been lucky to have had the opportunity to know each other and need to continue too appreciate our association with each other.  Scott and I had planned on coming, but have been asked to baby-sit 4 of our grandchildren.  My son and his wife are going on a little get-away with her parents.  I am hoping that we can attend another one that you have in the future.  Please have a wonderful time and thank you for your thoughtful gesture in thinking of this new tradition.  (I must admit, I love breakfast out, and the pie sounds so good!) And, on the Eve of thanksgiving, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 

Enjoy each other's company, Lu Savage

I have been thinking Ted Wilson, I had several occations when I was working for SLC Corp. to come in contact with Mayor Wilson. He was always kind with everyone who worked for the city at that time. I once asked him why he wanted to be the Mayor and his said: "Think about all of the good that I do for the city as a whole."  I have so many stories about all of the people who worked there at that time, some good and some not so good.

I really enjoy reading all of the acticles from the diffenent people from that time of our lives. Today I was listening to the Top 100 hits from 1970, and a song came up by CCR called "Run through the Jungle." I remember that song so well. When I was in the Army, we use to play that song every Friday afternoon when orders were given out for the different asignments around the world. At that time not many were given out for Vietnam, most were for different places around the world.  I can now laugh about that, but at the time it was a whole story.
