Sorry to hear about the passing of Dennis...Certainly thins out the male side of the Georgetown Grade school graduating class of 54 (being a total of 6 boys).  Much fun was brought to mind when reading the notice: items such as constructing a bucking chute to ride calves in the side of Bishop Passey's barn, "bucking" many tons of hay at the Earl Tippetts farm, and even the 4-H camp mentioned by Ross.
