Colonel Charles J. Zemple, father of Karon Zemple 64, Mary Ellen Zemple 66 and Janet Zemple 68, passed away peacefully on December 29th 2008, at his home.

According to Karen, "He won many commendations while he was in the Air Force, but I think he would most want to be remembered by the kids from Ankara as being a good father to his 5 daughters and willing to open his home to their friends. There was also a part of him that is most captured if you read the poem by John Gillespie Magee Jr. called "High Flight", this always brought tears to his eyes - my father had is feet firmly planted on the ground but there was always a part of him that "slipped the surly bonds of earth... And done a hundred things you have not dreamed of....". He was a good man and will be missed."


Mrs. Margaret Haynes passed away on December 10, 2008. She was a faculty member of George C. Marshall Regional High School from 1964 -1965. She is survived by her son, William "Lance" Haynes 65.


Mrs. Haynes's last words were "Live it up."
