Danny,
Using Ancestry dot com I located the Bloomfield NJ high school yearbook
for’73 with pictures and our Dan was President of the Math Club, ran track
and was in the band. I haven’t been able to run him down yet, but there was
an Ellen Prusinski in the MathClub who I think is a PhD at Centre College in
Kentucky. If she is also from Bloomfield, hopefully she can help me find Dan.

I have looked for years to find Dan. He just vanished from the face of the
earth. He was on a 4 year AF scholarship. So I have tried to look thru Air
Force personnel pages, but without something more than Dan Sullivan and
Bloomfield NJ, not making any progress.

I don’t remember him at all. Being stuck in the Country Club for 2 years
limited my memory of some things. Living next door to Mac Walling And Willie
Robson helped too. I would give anything to reconnect with Danny Sullivan.
He was a great guy! Groad

Thanks for this Ed. I didn't recall at all that Mike had continued at A&M.
I don't ever remember seeing him on campus, but that doesn't mean
anything. His picture was in our fish "Aggieland", in his uniform....
Holmes, David M., from Killeen... and again in the senior Aggieland as a
non-reg.
As for the stoned dog... Knowing Mike, that was completely appropo'.....

Bill,
Great memory. I didn’t remember about the HOLMES towing thing. I do
remember his Camaro. He continued at A&M and likely graduated. Stuntz used
to see him all the time into our white belt years. Mike had a Chinese
american girlfriend named Colleen. And a dog that used to get stoned. The
things we know about each other in 73 to 77 are incriminating!
Whatever happened to Tom Reed?

Yeah, Mike Holmes was a free spirit. What I remember about him (and
correct me Edo if I'm wrong) was that either his father or grandfather had
developed and manufactured a towing system that was widely used on tow
trucks.... you could see them everywhere, had a big "HOLMES" across the
top. So, Mike didn't want for financial resources... had a pretty new
Camaro IIRC. I don't know how long into our fish year he lasted, but I do
know he didn't return in the fall of '74.
