We are sad to say that we have been notified that Gary Nardoni passed away in 2022.
This is the link to his obituary: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/clinton-township-mi/gary-nardoni-10584906
Happy Birthday Andy!
I received the following message from his daughter.
Hello, I was scrolling through my fathers email and saw a few “update” emails from your site. Sadly, my father, Bruce Getzan, passed away in July 2020. He spoke of his days at Debby often. We are all pretty heartbroken. Kind regards, Erika Mazero
Happy Birthday John! Hope you shared your day with those you love! Hope you and Gregg were not affected too badly by "Irma". Take care, Karin
Happy Birthday Susan! Hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by family and friends!
Happy Birthday Tom! It is a beautiful day out here in the Pacific Northwest and I hope it is just as beautiful for you back home. Enjoy the day with your friends and family! Hope to see you someday at one of those lunches that you guys have organized! Karin

Ronald DeRiemacker went to Arthur Elementary in the early 50's and lived on Britain, a block away from Arthur. He has sent the following pictures to be posted on our sight. The first photo was taken at the King Richard entrance to Arthur and the lady on the far right is Mrs. Wareham, Principal, next to her is Mrs. Gordon the Assistant Principal. We do not know who the other two ladies are, but if some one recognizes them, please let me know. The second photo is of Ron and his friend Bob, They are still friends to this day at the age of 78! Ron could not identify the girls in the next three photos, but knows that the street behind them is Harvard and one of the girls may be named Rosemary.

Kerry, things have changed a bit. We won't be able to go on the Denby tour but we will be at Gino's with Pat Luptak (Schwartz) and her husband.
Hi Gale! It sure would be nice to meet up with you at the reunion. I am flying in from the state of Washington to attend and will be staying with Pat Luptak (Schwartz). We had some good times. Hope all is well with you!

Kerry, I am trying to get the correct spelling for Gary Goodyear. Another classmate suggested that it should be spelled Goodger. They thought he lived on the same street as you and thought you might know.
Congratulations for taking on the position as our Arthur Elementary School Website Administrator. Karin will now be responsible for overseeing the content and development of this portion of our website. It is my intent that each elementary school that was a primary feeder to Denby should have its own administrator. Andy

Hi Kerry, Yes, I am planning on going on the tour on Friday and then out for drinks and dinner. I will be flying in the weekend before so I should be able to attend all of the activities. We had some good times back then! Do you remember inviting me over for your birthday dinner? Kerry, I didn't remember this but you and my mom have the same birthday! Looking forward to seeing you in July!
