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.

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.
Mark Martin, 73.
