Sad news for the Class of 1964... Thank You, Pam, for the notice. May the Lord comfort the family I pray.
Dear Friends...
Just wanted you to know that the BHS Class of 1964 has lost another dear classmate...Mike Jelen passed away shortly before Christmas...Mike was a great guy, very intelligent and had a good sense of humor. Mike was in Miss Imbach's Senior English Class with Jon and me and he used to join us at the weekly "Monday Night Football" gatherings at Sam Licursi's apartment in the early 1970's..He will definitely be missed by his family and friends...

Thank you...Pam
Dear Pam,
I thought you would want to know that Mike Jelen died before Christmas of heart disease, a complication of his diabetes. His sister called me and said that a memorial will be planned for January or February. I will let you know. I know you aren't doing a regular newsletter, but in case you put one out in the next few months, you can feel free to include this info.
