Rex was in the class of 77 but left in 75. He graduated at home in Alligan. Rex
and I never lost contact. We were friends until he passed.
And remember Jesus loves you.

That explains why I didn’t know him. He must have come to the school after
we graduated and we graduated in 70. Peggy Yats.

to leave in the middle of the year for some reason. I think you transferred
back to public school. That could be why he didn’t graduate from the school
for the blind. I hope this helps. Take care and God bless you. Tony 1978 and

I have Mrs. Polzien's book which lists MSB graduates from 1881 through
1981. I was hoping to clear up his year of graduation, but I cannot find
his name in that book. I scanned this book several years ago so whether I
missed a page or perhaps some sort of scanning error, I'm not sure, all I
can say is that I now have the book in my BrailleSense allowing me to
search in Braille, and I did not find him. Does anybody know if Rex left
MSB before graduation which would explain him not being listed. I do have
one source I can check with to see If I can clear this up. I too remember
seeing Rex with his young family at the reunions. Noticing his birthday
from his obituary surprised me, as I never realized he was just one week
younger than me.
Mark Martin, 73.
