East St Louis Senior High SchoolClass Of 1963
Wesley Nims
I could have taken a bus that went straight down State Street to school. Instead I took
the bus that took a round about route and longer time because it was the bus that Robert
took. He was a good friend and he made the ride fun because of his joking and banter.
Bill Lutker and Darwin Turley were on the same bus and it was a good way to start the day.
Played on a basketball team with him that was coached by Mr Gleason, the Biology teacher.
Lost contact with him after I went into the service. Tried to track him down a few times, but
was unable to do so. Just recently came across his obituary online. Wish I had been able to
see him before he passed away and to find out what he had been doing since high school.
