Vietnam Wall of Faces

You've probably heard of the Vietnam Memorial Wall and it's travelling mini wall, but did you know that there is also a Vietnam Wall of Faces website that includes pictures and relevant facts for almost everyone whose name is engraved on the Memorial Wall?

There is also an In Memory Honor Roll website for those wounded warriors who returned home and later died as a result of their injuries.

This information was brought to our attention by Richard Mann, and we have included this info on Darrell's Bio page.

We Need Your Help?

Please help us keep this site interesting, current and relevant by submitting memories, stories and/or pictures form our high school days.   Have you taken an interesting trip?  Did you recently visit, or were your visited by, a follow classmate?   What's happening in your life today?

While we can use all most anything, we are particularly interested in any of the following:
  1. Any information on the passing of our classmates and/or faculty/staff?  
  2. Pictures or memories from our first 3 reunions to add to Our Reunions page.
  3. The names of more local businesses from the 50's & 60's to add our Local Businesses page.
  4. Suggestions for things you remember from the "good old days" and might be wondering what they look like today or even if they still exist.
  5. Have you taken an interesting trip in recent years?   Pictures & stories welcome.
  6. Do you have a favorite memory or story or picture(s) from your youthful years in West Chicago?
