For years I tried to learn the whereabouts of Murray Merkle. I heard that he had been in a serious accident while working in Florida many years ago.
I got his email thru another "56 grad, Ed Smith and, although Murray was severely handicapped because of his accident, we began to correspond.
Thanks to Sandy Loughlin in Poly's p.r. department, I was able to get copies of some of Murray's Poly Press cartoons which I mailed to him. His last email told me of his 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren.
His emails suddenly stopped, and I later learned that Murray had passed away. I'm still left with the fondest memories of Murray, our double dating (he knew the best looking girls in town) and our love of Harley Burgers.
I feel lucky to have renewed a friendship after 50 years.
