  1. In the last pic with Mr. Ganley, I believe the girl on the right holding the softball is my neighbor Debbie Kelly.

    • I was going to comment the same. I graduated with Deb in 1983. Recognized her right away, and I know she played softball

  2. Police officers are : left to right : Bob Stryke , Arnie Christensen , Norman Christensen , ? , Andy Riley , Roy Thorstensen , Harry Dern , Ted Ferguson , Ray Litchfield

  3. WOW,ITS GOOD TO SEE MY FATHER,CARL JOHNSON,WITH THE BOYS IN BLUE, CARL JOHNSON,BHS

  4. Good photo of the Blenkhorn property. To link it to some others of your BurlingtonRetro photographs – The house in the upper right was the home of William and Arthur Kerrigan purchased as part of their farm around 1920. In the early years they used a horse to operate farm machinery who was kept in the barn in the upper left.

  5. The Piper Boys photo…..my eldest brother, Fred Osborne Jr., (Freddie Boy lol) front row 2nd from right.

  6. I think that’s the same Mr. Ganley who was the janitor at Fox Hill while I was there. I also remember an Officer Peterson when I was a kid. Looks like his whole family had a legacy of being family cops…..unless it’s a coincidence.

  7. Classmate George Brown was the closest house to Kemps . I always thought that was cool .

  8. hey bill, glad to see youre still alive and kicking…………..the horses name was dick,and jeannie blenkhorns grandaughter used to ride on it,as we came back from the fields………….it was an education to see old arthur handle dick when plowing……………………carl, farmhand, 1952
