My Moline classmate, Debbie Gahan, served as the first lady Mayor of Perryville, Missouri, the town established by Bishop Martin Stephan's order - instead of starting with a much better deal in St. Louis, better land for a better price.
We are looking forward to seeing Debbie at the Moline reunion - our 50th anniversary class reunion - the Class the Stars Fell On.
She hastened to order two signed copies of Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant - one for her and one for LCMS Pastor Thomas Handrick.
Debbie Mitchell Gahan and I were in band, chem-physics, and who knows what at Coolidge Junior and Moline Senior High. Our group was creative, fun, and funny. |
