I spoke to you at one time about highlighting their projects and letting people know what they were doing. …their intent is to preserve Morocco buildings as we once knew them. I'm attaching the brochure and you can decide whether it could appear on the website. Here you go, Bonnie! If you haven't heard, there was no remonstrance against the School Board's proposal to remodel and add on to the Morocco School (along with some upgrades to the other schools. I am very excited about the prospect—the addition is planned to house grades K-6, so the students will really be in a new school! Groundbreaking is planned for May, 2009--maybe there'll be a "hole" instead of a parking lot for our banquet. The old part of the school will be used for special classes and the administrations of both the school and the corporation. It is exciting! Thanks for your consideration and all the work you do to keep our Website going. You are very welcome…thanks to you for submitting! -DD Bonnie Storey Award Winners including Don Hunter, Class of ‘58 Associated Press excerpts: “….Pat Cassidy, a three−time state champion from Bloomington North, will be inducted into the Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame on Sunday.

Thanks Expressed The following was submitted by an Alumnus for publication. -Editor Many Thanks to the MHS Alumni Website and the MOROCCO TIMES newspaper. I would like to suggest to all you alumni out there; don't be shy or worried about signing up for MHS Alumni website; it's safe, and It's really a pleasure to check in on the what's happening with our alumni. It's great to see and read what's going on in the old home town. Dave (and from Tampa, no less) has done such a terrific job of putting it together AND keeping it updated. We're all very fortunate that someone's willing to provide such a rich and classy presentation  - - and at no cost!  - - Come on in the water's fine; the more the merrier; email Dave and get internet connected. It's a kind of glue that can help us all stay up to date and linked together; besides that; we really need to keep DAVE engaged; if he doesn't do it, who will. He's even delivering back issues of the MOROCCO TIMES now; courtesy of the link up with Gerald Boren. Speaking of the MOROCCO TIMES, I'd also like to commend Gerald Boren for his skill and efforts with his new Morocco newspaper. He's put some real life back into old Morocco and refreshed us all with his publication. Think of it; launching a newspaper in today's world; in Morocco - - how risky is that! And, what a style he has; it's like many of his readers tell him,"it's like getting a letter from home"; what a treat. I'm sure most of you can imagine the time, energy and expense of doing such job today. I see that he is providing the MHS Website with the back issues - - what a terrific thing to do. To all of us that appreciate these efforts and those kinds of things; I suggest that we reward those who toil for us, by subscribing to the MOROCCO TIMES - - it's only $25 a year - - and sign up for the MHS Alumni Website; think of it as our patriotic chore and pitching in, when it needs it. As you all can see, I really appreciate what these guys are doing and I hope you will too. Sincerely, Don DeKoker ‘58
