"Marty was one of those people you like to be around. Soft spoken & well
mannered. I always had the feeling that he could be counted on , I played many
back yard basketball games with him. Just a neat person and role model."
Dave Cannady '51
(a.k.a Dave Anderson, "Andy" or "Poncho")

I remember Marty well. We were in Miss Whiteford's home room together. He worked
at Hurst's market after school. We went out a time or two. I especially remember
going to a movie at the Fox Theatre. He was a super nice guy and it saddened me
when I learned that he was killed. Betty Smith Shaw '47
