Bill's Story
I left Fairley HS late in my sophomore year, 1972, because my family moved to Rochelle, Illinois. I finished HS there and went to Eastern Illinois University where I graduated in 1978 with a BS in Chemistry. I then went on to Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, and finished my PhD in Physical Chemistry.

I sometimes wonder what in the world happened to my old friends at Fairley HS in Whitehaven (now Memphis) TN. If anyone can tell me what went on from 1972 to 1974 and beyond, I'd be interested to hear their perspectives. People that I've known a long time tell me that I have not changed much over the years. I still laugh at my own little jokes, which shold not surprise anyone.
