Steve and TeriDon and I wish to convey our sympathy to you and your family. We still live behind your house and no one has broken any windows out lately. I can still see Teri walking out of the house with the baseball. I often thought about Lowell and wondered if he ever visited Marshalltown. Love from Don and Barb Blake and Tom, Dave, and Linda Message from: Don & Barb Blake Steve,I remember our school days at Norris School and you and Sherry Vanderham living on Marshall Drive and I living in the brick house on South 15th Ave. After we left Norris School and Sherry moved we lost track of each other. I remember when your Mother died. I really remembered when my Mother died about you and others in our class that had a parent die. I send my prayers and thoughts to you. Cindy Billman Message from: Cindy Billman lowell was friendly and very helful in his job at hyvee in marshalltown,ia. he was reluctant to join in our class of 1946 reunion activities. he seemed lonely and missed his family and often talked about them. he looked forward in retiring to spend more time with family and moved to florida as soon as he could to be with them.

I attended M'town High School with Lowell, we enlisted in the Army Air Coprs together along with Dick Divis and Donald Hockett. We attended basic training together in San Antonio, Texas, Technical School in Spokane, WA., and then shipped out to Japan together.We served on the same base together in Japan until Lowell went to Europe with troops supporting the Berlin Airlift.Lowell, Dick Divis and myself spent many evenings, weekends, etc. carousing M'town until Dick went to the U of Iowa, and I left for Calif. to go to college.I visited with Lowell many times at the Piggly Wiggly, Smitty's and HI-Vee when I would return to M'town on vacation.Again, I am very sorry to hear of Lowell's passing.Sincerely,Rusty JaynesP.O.
