Ralph Edward Hougen 
1941-1966
Classmate Howard Frederick writes:
Eddie was my best friend, starting from grade 2 at Blenman 
until our junior year at CHS.  He was shy, good natured,with 
a wonderful sense of humor.  Naturally good at many things, 
he chose not to join organized sports, yet we would spend 
hours at his house after school tossing a baseball, or 
playing marbles (which he tended to accumulate from my 
inventory at a remarkable rate).  He was a gifted painter 
and craftsperson and I can still see his hands as they held a 
brush or joined pieces of wood.

Eddie became an accountant after high school, moved to 
California and married.  He lived with his wife and daughter 
on the east bay south of Oakland.

Georgia Hanson Love writes
Bobby died about August of 2000, in Ontario, or Vale,OR I believe. I thought I would look him up because of the last HS reunion, while I was visiting my ill father in Ontario.  When I opened the paper, much to my dismay, was his obituary. When I told my brother,  who managed a motel in Ontario, he said Bobby used to stay in his motel on his salesman trips.  I probably have the obituary somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it.

practiced domestic and family law for 25 years until cancer 
shortened her life.  She sought success in helping others.  
Gaila's wonderful sense of humor and strong intellect allowed 
her to be so generous with her time and skills --and those 
facets of her personality and character always caused many to 
seek her advice and friendship.  She is missed by family and 
friends.

     Carol married my father, Larry Eastlund soon after high school. My sister and I were born a few years after that, a year and two weeks apart. Being the wife of a young lieutenant in the Air Force she was forced to move our household many times and returned to Tucson for one year between 1971 and 1972 while my father was fighting in a war on Southeast Asia. Upon his return we moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where we finally settled for many years on a wooded plot in the Black Forest, where we kept horses and she tried to grow a garden during the six weeks that are Summer there. 
    She made many lasting friendships and was very active in community
and school events, always ready to use her artistic skills for the common good. Every Tuesday she got together with her bridge club, a boisterous gathering of ladies from many different backgrounds who helped each other cope with their difficulties and share their joys.
     In 1974 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and after ten years of valiant battle she finally succumbed on May 30, 1984 at the Air Force Academy hospital. She was survived by her father, Ray Cox (d. 1993), her brother, Paul Cox who still lives in Tucson (we believe), her husband,  who now lives in Boulder, Colorado, her daughter, Linda Eastlund, who lives in Portland, Oregon and me, Philip, who lives in Springfield, Oregon.

What Rick loved most was reading, gardening, laughing and spending time with his wife, family and dear friends, celebrating life in every moment. Rick renewed his faith in 2010 when he found a home at Redeemer Lutheran Church; his faith in his Savior and Lord Jesus Christ comforted him throughout his life.

She will be sorely missed as a devoted and loving wife, mom, Grammie, sister, auntie, friend, volunteer and most-recently great-grandmother. She touched so many lives in so many special ways.

Betty Lou Dandurand Jungen
1941-2020
Obituary from Bringsfuneralhome.com

     Betty Lou Jungen, 79, of Tucson, AZ, passed away December 23, 2020, at home with her husband and family by her side.
     Betty was born to Gerard Levi (d. 2000) and Marion Lucille Dandurand (d. 2003), on April 5, 1941 in Bourbonnais Township, IL. Betty enjoyed the love of her siblings - sister: Barbara Kay Anderson of Tucson, Arizona; and two brothers: Gerard Thomas Dandurand (d. 2005); and James Frederick Dandurand of Holiday, FL. Gerard and Marion moved the family from Kankakee, Illinois to Tucson, Arizona in the mid-1950’s. Betty graduated from Catalina HS in Tucson in 1959.
     On March 13, 1959, Gerard arranged for one of his machine shop clients, William Eugene (Bill) Jungen, to take Betty on a Coke date. Betty and Bill were immediately smitten with each other, and on Nov. 26, 1959 they were married at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Tucson. Just this past Thanksgiving Day, the couple celebrated their 61st Anniversary in the very same church with their five children, grandchildren, spouses and significant others. Bill and the family treasure the recent memory of that joyous Thanksgiving Day celebration.
     In addition to her loving husband, Bill, Betty is survived by their five children: Janet Lee Cline (Mike) of Sierra Vista, AZ; William Dwaine Jungen (Carolyn) of Tucson, AZ; Michael Gerard Jungen (Fhanor Lenis) of Belle Isle, FL; Jacalyn Kay Livingstone (Ralph) of Lake LA, CA; and Julie Ann Alvira (Ruben) of Tucson, AZ. She is also survived by nine grandchildren and step-grandchildren: Michael Livingstone (Molly Liles); Kirsten Myhres (Tyson); Alton Livingstone (Victoria); Anna Livingstone; Aimee Alvira (Sam Kinslow); Alex Alvira; Jason Livingstone; Ryan Cline (Tiffany); and Jaclyn Hughes (Mike); great-grandson Mykyl Jungen (Graycie); and seven step-great-grandchildren: Lauren, Aubrey, Trevor, MacKenna, Parker, Kyla, and Autumn.
     Betty loved traveling with Bill - often to see family, explore the world or cruise the oceans. “Out-Bound Travel” was her playful travel arranging moniker. She was immensely proud of her family and loved ones. She unfailingly embraced friends old and new and each would be greeted exuberantly with joyful hugs!
     Her Catholic Faith was central in her life, in her relationship with Bill and in her vibrant engagement of life. The Rosary meant a great deal to her, and she treasured each rosary from special places and people in her life.
     She was the Sunshine in our lives - spirituality and literally! For many years when her children were younger, Betty embodied Sunshine the Clown for birthdays, celebrations and church festivals at Our Mother of Sorrows School and Church. The joy and spirit of Sunshine will be a lasting memory for all who’s lives she touched.

(From her obituary)
     She was born in Franklin MA on June 2nd 1941. Passed away November 10th 2021. She leaves behind 6 children, Michael, Anne, David, Shawn, Travis, and Rachel. She was everyone’s best friend. Everyone that met her felt that they could tell her anything, and she would listen. She was so kindhearted and filled with joy. She would do anything she could for anyone she knew, or even just met. She could strike up a conversation with anyone and they always walked away with a smile. She told stories that you could listen to a thousand times and never get tired of hearing. She had a hard life, but she always managed to come out of it stronger, and with more stories to tell. Her unwavering faith in God is what gave her that strength and guided her through all her tribulations. She was always involved in a church. She worked as a receptionist at Christ Church united Methodist for many years, but Valley Christian Church was her home. She loved everyone there and called them family. They did so much for her and our family throughout the years she attended. She was a warm ray of sunshine that graced our lives, and she will truly be missed. We can’t wait to see her beautiful face again someday. We will rejoice knowing that she is at peace reunited with loved ones that passed before her.

From en.everybodywiki.com
Neil Bradley Carmony was an American writer and editor of Natural History and Old West books.

Carmony was born in Tucson, Arizona, to Paul B. and Thelma Carmony, and had one sister, Charlene (Carmony) Fagan. He lived in Tucson all his life, graduating from Catalina High School in Tucson in 1959 and attending the University of Arizona. Carmony was married for a decade to the late Carol Jean Oler, divorcing in 1981.

Carmony was trained as a chemist and worked for the U.S. Geological Survey before turning to writing, editing, compiling, and publishing. He often collaborated with other writers and editors, most notably David E. Brown, an Arizona Game and Fish Department veteran and faculty associate at the Arizona State University’s School of Life Sciences (where Brown was named Educator of the Year in 2009).

In the 2006 book Deer of the Southwest, author Jim Heffelfinger wrote of Carmony and Brown in the acknowledgements, “A special thanks goes to Dave Brown and Neil Carmony for instilling in me their indomitable skepticism”. Carmony’s signature legacy was his deep research and strict adherence to the truth.

Conrad Bachelier
1940-2023
From the obituary on Legacy.com
    On the morning of March 19th, 2023, Conrad Grady Bachelier passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by family. He leaves behind his loving and faithful wife of 54 years, Nancy, his daughters Desiree (Mike) and Laurie, and only son Daniel (Evelyn). Conrad was also a proud grandfather to 6 boys: Jonathan, Brendan, Liam, Drew, Quinn and Kellen.
     Born on March 6, 1940 at the Storks Nest maternity home in Tucson, Arizona to Conrad Alphonse and Cora Frances Bachelier, Conrad attended local schools, including Catalina High School, where he discovered his passion for tennis and became an active and competitive player throughout his life. He enlisted in the Navy, at the age of 18, and served our country for six years. Upon leaving the miliary, he attended the University of Arizona's College of Architecture for three years, going on to work as a draftsman for Hughes Aircraft and lead technical illustrator for Kitt Peak Observatory before becoming self-employed.
     Conrad started Masterpieces, LLC, where he designed and built custom homes all over greater Tucson from the 1970's. During his career, he proudly developed early sustainable measures of building by combining construction math with design art. Conrad was also a martial arts enthusiast, becoming a second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and going on to teach others the art.
Some of Conrad's other hobbies included writing a book, having Saturday morning coffee with friends, doing good deeds for those in need, and engaging in political discussions with both young and old unsuspecting adults at the gym and anyone else who would indulge. 
     Speaking of the gym, he often regaled that he single handedly lifted more than 12 million pounds of weights per year, even into his 80's. Passionate about politics and democracy, Conrad enjoyed conversing with others about current events and humanity. Whether you agreed with him on politics or not, one thing is for sure, Conrad's heart was larger than all ours combined and it was felt by many. He was a man of incredible honor, living his life with honesty, loyalty and love. He is sorely missed.
