Mr Cannon was my tenth grade Biology teacher. I remember him as one who made personal contact and knew when more help was needed.  As others have said , he had great intuition concerning each of us and contributed a great deal to RHS. Thank you to a great  great teacher! My sincere condolences to his family.     Marlyce K. Benson (Bjeldanes)

Happy Birthday Marlyce hope you have a special birthday. You are a special person hope things are well with you and your family. Rogers passing we knew was coming but to see him have peace was great and he's in a good place.The old Keewaydin gang is getting smaller. God bless you and your lovely family. love Billy B.xo

I remember many happy times growing up in the Keewaydin Neighborhood with a great group of friends including Roger (Miss Swainbeck's 6th grade class, hanging at Lake Nokomis) It's comforting to know that those friends were caring for each other even now.  My sincere condolences to Roger's family. God's blessings and RIP.   Marlyce Benson Bjeldanes

Marlyce Happy Birthday to a sweet lady Enjoy your day xoxoBilly B

Fred and I were "home room buddies" and friends who shared many experiences involving basketball, football and other RHS events.  He was a special contributor to our class and a leader in a kind, quiet, gentle way. We were indeed fortunate to have him at RHS.  My sincere condolences to his family.   Rest in Peace

As we read remembrances of our friend Roger written by classmates, we see clearly that he was someone special with a kind heart, a big smile, and a twinkle in his eye.  Wherever he traveled, he left footprints of kindness and love; humor and inspiration; joy and faith.  We join others in sending our deepest sympathy to Peggy and her family.   Sincerely Leonard and Marlyce Bjeldanes

Happy Birthday Marlyce Enjoy!!!!

I was saddened to hear of Joan's passing.  She was a member of our Keewaydin School's 6th grade class. (photo in Ted-Bits:Teacher: Miss Swanbeck).  I remember Joan as an outstanding, gracious, intelligent and active student as she grew up in the Nokomis and Roosevelt communities.  Our paths did not cross in California  but thanks to Peggy Crist Barrett for sharing the special friendship she had with Joan including her last conversation.  My sincere condolences to her lovely family and close friends.

Hi Marlyce,

Been a while since catching up. Saw you commented Gary Engfer's death. Another Keewaydan playmate gone. Hope you and your family are doing well. I'm in San Diego with my Daughter Katie and Little Emily. Played Golf with my daughter yesterday at a very special golf course - was fun! She still plays well. I'm returning on the 20th spent Fathers day here which was nice. Naslund had Knee Surgery but will be ready for golf July 1. Hoff usually invites us out to his course in Eden Prairie, so looking forward to that. Probably going to sell my house in Sept. Not sure where I will settle, but would like to be in San Diego area. See Jeri on FB once and a while, I guess you are not on FB. Hope everything is good with you. XO Billy B

We join our classmates in remembering the contributions of  Gary's leadership to the RHS community. We are saddened to lose another great Teddy.  Our sincere condolences to his family and close friends. RIP   Marlyce & Len Bjeldanes
