This is a new section to our website.  There's no denying that we're all getting older and with that comes the inevitable infirmities.  If you or a fellow classmate are facing a health challenge (physical or mental) and could use a little "Fine59" cheer, please let us know at webmeister@fine59.com - as is often said, "were all in this together!"

Marvin Kunkel - Please keep our classmate Marvin in your thoughts and prayers as he copes with a challenging illness.  Likewise, keep his wife Peggy and his family in your thoughts and prayers as well.  We all know how pervasive an illness can be on a family as a whole.

If you know Marvin, you probably remember that the Kunkel family was a pioneering family to the Spring Branch area.   Other branches of the family were the O'Rourks and the Warwicks - remember Martha Warwick - class of '60.  Marvin's father had an automotive repair shop on Katy Rd. called Kunkel Automotive - right next to Gorman's Cleaners, I believe.  That was downtown Spring Branch right - wasn't it neat when you think about it!  The O'Rourks had a Sinclair Service Station on Campbell Rd. just south of Long Point - really nice folks.

Marvin is a neighbor of mine here in Tower Oaks Plaza - in Cypress.  Before I began having knee problems, I used to walk frequently in our quaint subdivision.  I would often see Marvin working in his yard - it always looked great.  Marvin has a red Corvette that also got a lot of his attention too.  So anyway, don't forget a really nice guy; send him an e-mail of encouragement now and then; I'm sure he'd welcome that.

Warmest Regards,

Larry D.
