Kevin was in Boltwood like me and I knew who he was but did not really know him. He has been listed as In Memory for many years but without a year. A couple of people-search sites have his birthday as February 4 1956 and say he passed away May 29, 1999, last address Lake in the Hills, Illinois, so I added 1999 to his profile

In our yearbook she is Mary Ann. I did not know her. We have her listed as In Memory without a year. A 2023 Evanston Now article about a ceremony of remembrance says she has been missing since 1979

I did not get to know him. This post in Ancestry.com says he had two children, and passed away in Arizona in 1994

Sorry I did not get to know him. This 2023 article about an Evanston event includes a memory of our classmate Kimberince (Kim) Wallace 

ttps://evanstonroundtable.com/2023/08/24/remembrance-reunion-cookout-evanston-summer-memorial-event/

"Now a cherished tradition, the cookout was inspired by the untimely death in 1992 of a much-loved Evanstonian, Kimbrince (Kim) Wallace.

His sister, Deborah (Debbie) Wallace said her brother found joy in front of the grill, bringing friends and family together for a barbecue. “We started an annual picnic in 1993 to honor his memory. It was called ‘Wallace Family and Friends,’” she told the RoundTable. The gatherings were held at Harbert Payne Park, near the Wallace family home."

I did not know Aaron (Dr. Lazar) but he seems to have been a great guy. 

Naperville paper ran a feature in 2019 on his struggle with brain cancer and how much he gave to the community (link might be for subscribers only)

My St. Nick's classmate, and I was friends with her brother, they lived 3 blocks from where I did. I remember her at ETHS from English class, we got to read a lot of Shakespeare plays as I recall

My St. Nick's classmate. Sorry he left us so young. Would have been great to see him at the 50th reunion

My St Nick's classmate. We got a good preparation there in the three R's, most of us did pretty well on that entrance test for ETHS. I see Bill is mentioned (as deceased) in his Dad's 2013 obituary. https://www.donnellanfuneral.com/obituaries/Alfons-V-Al-Barkauskas?obId=7472137. 
His mother's 2009 obituary mentions him as living in Alaska, no mention of a spouse or children https://www.donnellanfuneral.com/obituaries/Rita-May-Barkauskas?obId=7470489

Mark Lipowicz has left an In Memory comment for Jonathan E Freeman.
Apr 10, 2023 at 3:26 PM

I did not know Jonathan well but he made a big impression because of his manner and his taking ill at such a young age. I remember visiting him with another friend sr year at Evanston Hospital, his room I think had a view of the golf course, he was in good spirits, his illness was not visible yet in that way. I think I was told he had melanoma, as serious now as it was then

I see later his family had a charitable foundation for him (Jonathan Eric Freeman Foundation), what a nice way to remember someone. They did that in 1987. We do not have Jonathan's year of death posted but it must have been 1987 or not too long before https://www.taxexemptworld.com/organization.asp?tn=903540

Rick was my friend and fellow altar boy in grammar school days (St Nick's) then at ETHS we were in different wings (I was West he was East). I saw he got to do the career he wanted; he was a police officer. We used to work on chemistry projects together in 7th grade days, chemistry turned out to be significant for me, I still remember his term "flam-dammables" for some of the more reactive elements and molecules
