All’s I know, is I was in band with him in the 74:75 school year. He had 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 Linda

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.
