Hello Carol, Thu. May 12, 2011

James Henry Perkins is in the Feb. 1942 Beacon Annual.

Adding 17 years to the birth year fits most graduates in classes prior to 1948.

Fred

Thank you so much, Fred. I could not find him listed with the Class of June 1942, but I knew he had to be somewhere close to them.

No. 45 - I Know That My Redeemer Liveth

- G. F. Handel

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.
And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.

(Job 19:25-26)

For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that sleep.

(I Corinthians 15:20)
