Yes, that is Pop Watkins. In the 1950s he came to our summer alumni dances at West Lake and always had a big group of alumni choir members come up and sing some of their old songs. Wish I had video + sound of that.
That's great! What a wonderful piece of film (and memories) to have. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Oh, I meant to ask before....is this your graduating class?
It is my graduating class. Standing with Dave Lichtenauer is Bob Doyl. I had lunch with Bob and four others in Auburn IN. a couple of weeks ago. First time I had seen 3 of them in 53 years.
smokey, Our 50th reunion reunited many of us who message each other and our group daily and lunch in Indy monthly. Stay in touch with the people you grew up with.

Wow, Just watched this again. Is that Mr. Watkins ("Pop" Watkins as he was affectionately known in my day) at 1:32?
