Crawford Drama Class • 1968

Stephen Bishop (on the right) shared a snapshot that he got from the guy with the tie (maybe named Jon -- or John).  Can we fill in the names?  Did any of these Colts go on to careers in the performing arts?

Hi John — Stephen Bishop here. I always enjoy your emails, blasts from the pasts.  The guy in the middle is Jon McGuffin.  We are still friends today. The girl in front of me is Sharon Whitley and the guy behind Jon is Rick Phleeger.

Also,I’m releasing my final album in August -- THIMK. 

What fun to see the Drama Club in 1968 with Stephen!  Liz Malkind is 2nd from the left (holding a book) and I am next to Stephen. I did not stay with the acting bug, but became a Bilingual Special Ed teacher for 12 years, then later a freelance writer. The past 30 years I have been a travel writer, visiting 55 countries — Sharon Whitley Larsen

Hi John — Here’s a photo of Stephen and me at our 10th reunion. It ran in the Evening Tribune for a story I wrote about our reunion “10 Years Later Life Goes ‘On and On’”. Stephen attended our 20th as well and we were thrilled that he performed several of his songs! — Sharon Whitley Larsen
