I learned on Aug 24 that brother Michael Francis Barnes passed away very recently. He was found in his boarding room after not picking up his mail for a few days.
He was born on May 26, 1946, and I'll mark his passing as August 23, 2023.
He is survived by daughter Barbara Barnes Brokaw, son Michael Barnes, sister Jenny Pack, brothers Chris and Jeff Barnes.
RIP brother Mike: you will be missed.

We are aware that some of our '65 classmates and their spouses have been contacted by a man seeking information and purporting to be writing a book. He uses a variety of false names and phone numbers. Some who have received the calls have found them disturbing. If you are contacted by this person, we suggest you hang up. If you engage with him, he will likely persist. If you feel threatened, contact your local law enforcement agency.
Our classmate, Sidney Caselberry, found this video of our last football game - 1964 Evanston vs. Oak Park. ENJOY!

As you know, thanks to our generous classmates, we have funds to create a '65 class gift, as well as hold some money in reserve for future class events. We agreed the best way to support the school is with an unrestricted gift for projects that are currently the ETHS Educational Foundation's top priorities, including the Gateway project and the Wind Turbine.
A few classmates jumped on the idea to have our gift recognized via a plaque at the location of the long gone, but much loved “Birdcage.” But unfortunately, that’s not possible. So we’ve decided to have our plaque on a bench at the Student Commons, close to the location of the old Birdcage. The plaque could read "The Class of '65 remembers the Birdcage--where memories were made."
Also, we will be dedicating a brick on the path nearby in memory of our friend Mike Heropoulos, thanks to an extremely generous donation from his family to our class. Those interested in making similar memorials for classmates can read about them at ETHS Education Foundation.
Here's a video that will show you some of the past projects the Educational Fund has made possible. Some of our donation will go towards completing the Wind Turbine project that’s mentioned in the video.
