Remember That
Bill DeVille NHS class of 1971 once wrote, “I remember so much (when someone mentions it), but sometimes I can't remember places or names of events. Look at this list. Does it bring back memories? Here are some examples of things I can remember and some I can't.” Thanks to Bill, his thoughts help to start this section of the web site. Future updates of the web site will include more “words.” If you have “words” to add please send them to trumansolverud@sbcglobal.net.
