To the Editor:

I congratulate Mr. Milo Pietz as the first person to be inducted into the Huron High School Fine Arts Hall of Fame, and also extend thanks to the people responsible for getting the Hall of Fame going.

The picture of the four young men gave me flashbacks to the good times I had at HHS. I enjoyed listening to them at Tiger Follies, or any time they same in the auditorium as a group or as soloists.

If you want to see and hear some old guys sing, who still have strong voices, I suggest you go to the “Love of Fine Arts” show at 2 p.m. on Sept. 14, in the HHS Auditorium.

It will be worth your time.

I’ve been a music lover my whole life. Back then, I liked to listen to it the way it was meant to be played - rock and roll style.

One of my favorite songs was “Rocky Mountain Way” by Joe Walsh. Did you know that Huron native - and HHS graduate - Rocke Grace played keyboards on the album “The Smoker you Drink, the Player you get,” which produced the song? Grace’s picture is on the back of the album cover. He also gets co-writing credit for the song.

In response to Willie Williams’ Letter to the Editor - I happen to know he was the boogie man.

I used to see him get down and boogie at The Plains some 40-plus years ago!

After writing this letter, it’s safe to say I failed creative printing in high school.
