Deceased:
We lost Porter around May 2nd 2022. This comment was from his friend posted on his Facebook page. Truly sad to hear of Porter Weldon’s transition to the great beyond. Porter’s kindness, wisdom and humor will forever be beautiful memories in my heart. Porter was genuinely interested in others and listened kindly and offered guidance. A cosmic brother to many. And to me, too. I will miss him dearly in his human form and am glad to have known him. See you on the flipside, Porterino � |

The truth is, it was Byke Bennet and myself that was the first to bring the alligators to the school, and turn them loose in the irrigation on the front lawn. |

Comment:
Pauline is married to classmate John Wheeler The children and grandchildren are combined.
I was given the Milano Music Award. I also did all the music for the class assemblies. I also was in Madrigals all my years at MHS. I was also in the top ten students awarded by Gah-Tso for service to the school. I don’t remember who else was there. I also played the comic lead as “Carrie” in Carousel. I think there is a picture of me over the shoulder of Standage in the yearbook. You have done a great job with the website. Thank you. I was saddened as I read through how many of our classmates have already passed on. I miss them all. We had a great class and there will never be one better. |

He worked in Real Estate for over 40 years as an agent, owner, broker, and educator. He enjoyed working in the temple for nearly 20 years and even with his failing health wanted to attend often. Bill will be best remembered for his integrity, love of family, repetitive story-telling, historical trivia, classical music, Mt. Dew, peanut M&M's.
