The cost of the upgrade of the to our website was $396.00 and you gave $575.00!!! Much of the website donations came from our long distance classmates. As always you go above and beyond!!

Twelve classmates ate together on December 30th at Joe's Italian Grill. Great fun, good food and two new classmates joined us for the first time. Again several were still visiting when the restaurant closed. It was also fun to talk to Joe Childs who almost flew in from Phoenix to join us. I think most of us jumped on the cell phone to visit with Joe. Keep watching here for further announcements. Please send ideas that could get you to join us to: info@mhsclassof64.com.

Tom comes home approximately every two months to check on his mom. On his last trip they both attended the presentation at the round house. Jim DeGrado took these pictures for us.

A monetary donation was presented to the Marshalltown High School Journalism Department in memory of 1964 graduate and Pebbles Editor-in-Chief Paul “Biff” Dysart.
According to his classmates, Dysart was involved in journalism throughout his life. “Biff was the founder of the Marshall Times and eventually sold it to the T-R,” 1964 graduate Wayne Bannon said. “He always found small stories that weren’t getting a lot of attention and brought them into the public eye.”
MHS Principal Bonnie Lowry said that Dysart enjoyed keeping up with various activities at MHS. “He always drove one of the convertibles in the Homecoming Parade,” she stated.
According to Dysart’s classmate and 1964 graduate Pat Helfer, he was a very innovative individual. “He was a dedicated and loyal person to the community. He served on the city council and did a lot of behind the scenes work,” she explained.
Willie Andrews
65th Birthday
Denise Andrews sucessfully pulled off a surprise birthday party for Willie's 65th birthday. It was held at the Blue Note Bar in downtown Marshalltown December 26th. I have posted a couple of pictures of the event. Several classmates were on hand but most in attendance were family and friends including family from as far away as St. Louis. The entertainment was class of 65 exceptional singer Steve George and his group. Denise also had cooked up a storm and had a huge buffet for us all and a few extra Blue Note regulars and Steve George followers who were also in attendance. Several remarks were heard that the BBQ ribs were the best they had ever eaten including my wife. The only exception to those sentiments was expressed by Willie who said his were better!! A good time was had by all.
