How wonderful that all these years later the bonds formed in good old 1 mile square Albany are still so strong and so many people from your class are still meeting and traveling together!

I have just one question, and though you all graduated many years before he began his 39 year career at Albany High, someone must know: Does anyone know just how old Kermit Bankson really is?! Inquiring young minds want to know...

Hi, I was just surfing for any info on my great uncle Tex Rankin. My Grandfather was Tex's brother, Dick Rankin. Dick Rankin was also an instructor at Rankin Field. My Dad passing away on October 15th of last year has made me think about all the stories he used to tell us about the three Rankin boys. I will be back to checkout all your tips for researching family history. I'm looking for info on Tex's parents etc. Thanks for such a great web sight! Kristen

Love your website. Wish someone from the class of 50-51 would do the same. You might have known brother Dick Coltrin...don't recall what year he graduated in...maybe 45 or 46.

I will be listing several yearbooks from the mid 1940's on
Amazon.com.

After graduation, I spent 4 years in the US Coast Guard in
Connecticut and Guam. My wife, Virginia and I were married
in 1950. We have 5 children 12 grandchildren and 1 great
grandchild!
I retired in 1988 from Shell Oil Co. in Houston,TX where we
now live. Since retiring, we have traveled to most of
Europe, China, and Australia. Most recently, we visited the
Galapagos Islands. Recently had the opportunity to visit
with Snowden and Shyvers. We had a ball.

I am in AHS class of June 1948, for which I maintain a
database. Please contact me if you have news of anyone in
that class.
