   Hello, my name is Mike Hulley, I lived on base from 1965 to 69, grades 4   
   through 7 and I do remember Mr. McLeod for Grade 7.  Great teacher.  I believe   
   his shiny new Mercury Cougar impressed me most. At any rate, I'm trying to   
   connect with a couple of    
   classmates at the time: Ricky Authors and Michael Renault.  I know its a bit   
   of a long shot, but any ideas?  Any help is much appreciated (hu   
   leyholdings@earthlink.net).   
   Cheers,   
   Mike
