William Shepherd, BHS '26/'28 (1908-1997) & Glenna Thompson Shepherd, BHS '29 (1912-1993)

Debra Asay sent this notice and these wonderful photos of her grandparents...

My grandparents went to Burbank High. I just came across your BHS blog today for the first time. I have been looking for places to post items I have that belonged to my grandparents and am offering you the images I have. Wishing you a wonderful day.
 
William Otto Shepherd - Class of 1926, but he didn't graduate till 1928. In winter of 1926 he came down with a very bad case of scarlet fever/scarlatina. Lost a lot of body weight, it took a number of months for him to come back to health. Born: May 28, 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. Died Dec. 26, 1997 in Bullhead City, Arizo na.

Glenna Gertrude Thompson - Class of 1929. June 28 1912 in Needles, California. Died Jan. 30, 1993 in Bullhead City, Arizona.

Otto first saw Glenna at a church mass. He said that he knew the first time he saw her sitting there under a big brimmed black hat that she was the one. They dated about 4 years and were married Oct. 11, 1931 at Church of the Holy Trinity Los Angeles, California.
