Members of the class living in Southern California held a memorial
service for Mike Kiley and Bill Seely on August 14th at Mike’s gravesite
in All Souls Cemetery, Long Beach, CA. From left to right are John
Knutzen, Dwayne Lee, Steve Perryman, Larry Strickland, Eileen Kiley (Mike’s
mother), Marsha and Ken Degon, Helen & Ian Carter, Judy & Jim McNulty,
and Helene & Andy Dykes. Both Mike and Bill are fondly remembered
by many of the class. Andy read excerpts of email messages and eulogy
postings sent to him for the visit. Ken Degon spoke eloquently of
his friendship with Mike, while Ian Carter related the good times he had
with Bill at KCET. We ended the visit with The Corps and adjourned
for lunch, where all the messages and John Ward’s class directory were
passed around for all to read. All agreed that the class memorial
services help to put our lives into perspective and reflect the very real
spirit of the Long Gray Line
