MISSING CLASSMATES

Welcome to the web site for the

Moline High School Class of 1965

Finally finished my book (so THERE, Suzee).

It's my father's story about WWII action, called 
Love Letters from North Africa - available for Kindle or
paperback.  There are many mentions of Moline.

Memories

MHS 65 Classmates: another worthy project where we can help!

The Moline Public TV Station, WQPT, is creating a documentary on the Wharton Fieldhouse. And your support of this film is sought. WQPT is seeking pictures, or short stories of your favorite Wharton memories, or cash to help offset their production costs.  WQPT advises that contributions are tax deductible.

Our recollections of Wharton are positive and vivid! They include basketball images of raucous crowds in the jam packed field house, cheering our teams, providing halftime dance entertainment and more, all in supporting our school and our community! Our graduation ceremonies at Wharton bring back positive thoughts, too.

If you have good memories of Wharton, please share them! The link below will connect you to the WQPT project site where you can provide pictures, stories, or other memories, or contribute $ to the cause. 

Upon project completion, I plan to share with you both a link to the finished WQPT documentary and the extent of our Class benevolence. To order to get an accurate account, please indicate MHS 65, then your name in the name or donor box at WQPT. For example: MHS 65, Molly Maroon. If you choose to contribute via a check, please put MHS65 in the memo line and send it to:

WQPT Wharton Project 
3300 River Drive 
Moline, IL.   61265

Please note that there is a short timeline for this project. WQPT needs to receive our inputs by March 31, 2024.

Sincerely,

Jon Chapman

Come get to know your classmates a bit better. You can share tips, enjoy a joke or two, and even talk about Moline basketball today or in '65. 

All are welcome--join in on Wednesday, April 3rd, at 11:30ish and every first Wednesday of the month in the future. Mark your calendar now!

Sunny Florida drew many classmates to get together. In February 2024, Marg Rosborough Duer, Pam Peterson Verhille, and Linda Swanson Nygaard met in Naples.

Our Foreign Exchange Student -- Nazek Fahmy Habib

It's been far too long (50+ years) since we've heard much from our class exchange student, Nazek Fahmy, but Mary Parsons Caisley, her Moline host, recently met up with her in Alexandria, Egypt. It looks like a joyous reunion.  And we've been given the okay to post these pictures of them now.  Hopefully we can get a little more information later.

More photos. . . 

If you'd like to post photos, just let us know or just add to the albums already available under the section called Photos: Then and Now.  Two more albums were added recently for the 30th and 35th reunions.  Please feel free to include your photos in them.  You never know when they might put a smile on someone's face.
