Bobby was in my class at MHS in the 8th and 9th grade.
He is not in the 10 - 12 grade yearbooks.
I did not know he was 2 years older than us.
He probably quit school and joined the armed forces.
His brother Doyle was a grade behind me.
I think he dropped out too since he's not in the 1959 yearbook - the 10th grade for him.
Or maybe they both transferred to another school.
