Hi Cliff... Johnny Henson here from '58. I noticed you carry Doug Willman as a lost classmate, however the class of '58 has him on their roster. He missed graduation with the rest of the class and had to attend summer school so maybe that's why all the confusion. He lives in Mason, Tx, having retired as Police Chief of the Wickenberg, AZ police department a few years ago. If you need contact info let me know and I'll put you in touch. Best Regards, Johnny Henson john.henson1@cox.net   . Updated 04/01/04.
