HI LANZ, THIS IS MIKE MURPHY, IF YOU HAVE THE TIME YOU COULD GO AHEAD AND PUT OUT THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

ABOUT A YEAR LATER IN MAY OF 2006 I MOVED BACK TO WYOMING SO WE COULD BE CLOSER TO 2 OF OUR BOYS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE HAVE 2 GIRLS ALSO AND ONE OF THEM AND HER HUSBAND MOVED BACK TO CASPER FROM SPRINGFIELD, MO. AND IN WITH US AND TOLD US THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF US, AND THAT SURE HAS BEEN A BLESSING. THANKS LANZ Mike ask me if any other classmates had Parkinsons and if so he would like to communicate with them to compare notes. Here is his email address to contact him: |

Again this month Margret Ann (Meg) saves the website by sending in money to sponsor the above two people. She told me that she wanted to feature them so as to bring to light all they do for the class. She said something about holding the class together but I really don't see it. Maybe for Lanz, but when is the last time Brennan has done anything for anybody? Last I heard he graduated from Oregon State which should tell you something right there. Any and all good 58ers went to The University of Oregon. GO DUCKS! During our high school years Billy was a member of the group called the SHADES. Lanz was a member of the illustrious group known as the ROCKERS. Does this say it all or not? I had a hard time getting a current photo of Bill for 2012. I spent hours at the local shelters in Corvallis and finally resorted to getting a photo from his perpetrator file at the local police station. They said not to worry because he was no threat to anyone anymore and now he just keeps muttering about where his shades are. As documented above, Lanz has them now. On the other hand, it was a breeze to get that current photo for Lanz. Just phoned the GQ magazine and they sent a current photo right out. Hey, I'm the first one who wants to give credit were credit is do, but I don't see it. Did any of you see Bill's pathetic 71st birthday photos? Thanks to the website (Lanz) they were featured a couple of months back. Every photo showed Mr. Brennan with a glass of wine in his hand and his arm around some young woman. I was embarrassed, but like Meg suggested, I have to try to keep the class together. And oh yea, I don't want to spread any rumors here but aren't his wife's initials KB, the same as were on the panties in Harald Williamson's guitar case at the 50th reunion? Last summer I got an accidental email that was meant to go to the Shades only. Seems that they were calling the group together for the annual Summer Solstice gathering out in the hills of Central Oregon. Apparently they sit around an open fire in the buff (thongs were allowed) and pass a talking stick around so that they know who is supposed to be speaking. Subject matter this year was Global warming, the best wines to drink and how they lost their virginity. Actually I considered trying to go as I needed material for the website and this seemed like a gold mine of information. When I sent them my RSVP and stated that "nudity was out for me", they turned me down. Well I guess in retrospect, Billy does do a lot for the class, but I don't know what the hell it is. If anyone can tell me then PLEEEASE send it to me and I will post it on the end of this. Oh and by the way, Bill and LANZ are both sponsored in coming months and I promise that they will get a fair shake in those months. Webmaster |

These photos and this stories just remind me of the class of 58. We are always there for each other. A dog's seeing eye dog..... Lily is a Great Dane that has been blind since a bizarre medical condition required that she have her eyes removed. For the last 5 years, Madison, another Great Dane, has been her sight. The two are inseparable. "People may forget what you said and, they may forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel." Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Mark Twain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dachshund & The Pink Pig This Dachshund is fostering this little guy for another mum who couldn't take care of him. He had his eyes closed, but now they are open. He is just a little bigger than her other pups. She loves this little guy as much as the other puppies and she is nursing him back to health. He is the cleanest pig-puppy ever, because she licks him all the time! HIS NAME IS PINK.... The Things I Owe My Parents > 1. My Parents taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE .

| Jackie Charles (Jack) Jensen Aug. 18, 1940 - Jan. 28, 2012 Published: February 12. 2012 4:00AM PST Bend Bulletin Jackie Charles (Jack) Jensen, a Bend native and long-time resident, died on January 28, at the Green Mt. Ranch Adult Care Home in Gates, OR, after a series of strokes. He was 71. He was born on Aug. 18, 1040, to Einar and Elsie Jensen in Bends old brick hospital. He graduated from Bend High School in 1958. Jack was one of the third generation of a six generation Oregon family. His great-uncle, Ole Olaussen, came from Norway and homesteaded land east of Bend. Jacks father, Einar, also from Norway, began working on the dairy farm until leaving for millwork at Brooks Scanlon in Bends early days as a timber town. Jack and his father, enjoyed duck hunting along the Deschutes River at the family cabin near Sunriver. He and his sister, Sigrid, were avid ice skaters on Troy Field, Tumalo Reservoir, and Sparks Lake during Bends very cold winters of the 50s. Jacks great passions were music and the Central Oregon Cascades, many of which he climbed. His favorite job, of many, was maintaining the trails or building a warming hut for the Deschutes National Forest. Jack was also a talented guitarist and performed with well- known local vocalists, Harold Williamson and Gene Mason. Jack is survived by his sister, Sigrid of Bend; a son, Rick of Ione, WA; two grandchildren and a number of nieces and nephews. Jacks favorite role in life was that of coach and mentor. His son, Rick, became an outstanding blues guitarist. Jack had a special relationship with his nephew, Tony. They were climbing partners for years, beginning with Mt. Bachelor when Tony was four years old. Tony went on to become an outstanding mountain and rock climber. Jack was also an outstanding athlete, winning medals in Masters Track events. Jacks mothers family were Scottish immigrants, headed by the versatile John Scottie Dallas, steam engineer at the mills, poet, and old-time fiddler, another coach and mentor, he expected all of his five children to play an instrument or sing. Following this family tradition, Jack became the family's first guitarist. Jack will be remembered by family and friends for his beautiful music, his generosity, his sense of humor, and his tremendous love of the forests and mountains of Central Oregon.

Dear class. It is with a sad heart that I am reporting the death of two classmates. Jack Jensen died on January 28, 2012 and John Newell on February 20, 2012 . Both will be missed by all that knew them. The obituary printed in the Bend Bulletin is listed below for Jack. Please join hands in a prayer for the family's. I will post information on John as I get it. (see below) One of our old teachers has passed. See obituary "Assorted stuff page". |
| In Memory John (NATE) Newell February 20, 2012 Save a place in the lineup for us my friend. Gail Newell asked me to put out a note that there will be a memorial service for John on Friday, Feb 24 at 11:00 AM at Niswonger-Reynolds Funeral Home on NW Irving. There will be a lot of old pictures of John with us, and a lot of great memories. Bless him, Gail, and all of us. John Wirch |
I write this with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. John Newell was my special friend and a brother to me. Was I there for him during his illness? No, but that's the way John wanted it. He only wanted us to remember him as he was in the past. John (the curmudgeon) had a heart the size of Texas and Nate, as we always called him, was the most natural athlete that I ever knew. There wasn't a sport that he didn't excel at. I first met John at about the third grade when we started playing organized sports. I played against John in every grade school sport and with him in high school football, baseball and basketball. We boxed, played golf, went bowling and competed in every other sport known to man. The highlight of those endeavors was 1958 when we won the State Championship in American Legion baseball. Along with sports, John and I double dated together, went hunting, chased girls, and got into every kind of trouble we could think up. A special friend? Indeed. When my parents decided to move to California my senior year I refused to go. Guess who stepped up and gave me a home for that year. Yes it was John. How his mother put up with all the crap we pulled is beyond me, but that was the Newell family. Special does not begin to tell the tale of this friendship. I could tell stories that would fill a book about John but here is not the place. Oh OK just one. One day after baseball practice we were horsing around after our showers and I was snapping the towel at any naked butt that I could see. As I snapped at John's pink derriere, he turned around at just the wrong point in time and took the shot right on little Johnny. I thought he would kill me but after muffling the screams and regaining his thought process he very calmly said "I owe you one". How effective was this revenge. I lived in fear for the rest of that year and he never retaliated. Nate, I miss you but I think you were sent ahead to get the Almighty ready for the rest of us '58ers. You are the right one to get this done so we are counting on you. I have our site password protected so The Big Guy won't be able to see any other deeds that your classmates report to me that might lesson your status as the class of '58 emissary. There is going to be a service on Friday, February 24th, 11:00am in Bend. When I get more information I will report it here as well as the official Obituary. Please classmates, if you have a memory of Nate then by all means send it to me to post. Lanz |
we sort of did the same thing you and Sid did talking about Newell. I told him a story (although there were many of them during the years we all knew him) about a football game we were playing back in the 7th grade. Don't know why I remember things like this but we (Allen Grade School) were playing Kenwood on a Saturday afternoon. We were on offense and as we came out of the huddle, I heard John quietly tell his teammates to watch for a pass. I heard him say every time Slate licks his fingers, he throws a pass. Well, I just filed that thought and a couple of plays later, I called a play that had Schossow running between Right guard and Right tackle. I licked my fingers (I had no idea I was doing that before each pass but Newell let the cat out of the bag) as we came out of the huddle. Newell was playing Left Linebacker so when he saw me lick my fingers, he started back pedalling at the snap to cover the right end. As a result, Schossow ran right by him and went for a big gain. We went on to win the game 27 to 0. Don't think I ever told him about that but as I recall, I laughed my butt off when I saw the look on his face. From that day forward I was careful to lick my fingers no matter what the play. Wish we could be there for the funeral. Please offer our condolences to Gail and say hello to the rest of our buddy's.
