Cecil, FYI: Dennis Keyes sister just called and said they were doing a memorial for Dennis at Anchor of Truth Church, 208 N Sibley, Buckner, MO 64016 on Saturday at 2:00. She asked me to invite anyone that went to high school with him or cared for him. She said there would be a potluck afterward, and everyone could bring whatever they chose to bring and they would put all together and have a "family reunion" type thing. During the service, they are asking for anyone who chooses to, tell how they knew Dennis, something funny or memorable that they could remember. I don't have everyone's email at hand, so thought maybe you could send the info out to all the classmates, as you have been doing. If you have any questions, please call me. Thanks, Linda Pescetto
