  6. This Page is Dedicated in memory of our great friend, Science Teacher at SVA, Athlete, etc. Herb Copenhaver. Herb was the Steve McQueen of our class of 1960! Very Cool yet very bright and a great student! Herb was taken from us in 2000 .... I hope many of you will join us in sending something to SVA for the Herb Copenhaver Endowment Fund.

    In the photo pictured above Herby is playing me up front on the stage for the SVA ping pong championship in 1959. Herb won the first game ... I won the second and the third game Herb won 32 to 30 in games to 21. ..... Herby & I had a lot of fun in those 4 years! The year before I think "Pinky" Jim Hartig won it all.

    At the bottom of this page we also have links to great photos sent in by Dr. Dick and Judy Brown SVA PHOTO PAGE #3 and photos just added 6/09/07 sent by Bonnie Jean Kelchner. SVA PHOTO PAGE #4 Page #2 is of the program only.

    Much more on separate pages later on my 4 years at SVA 1957 - 60. .... Becky & I will be back the next 3 years for alumni ... We plan on doing a site each of those years too .... Much like what we do and did for Becky's 40th and 45th at Milo Academy in Days Creek Oregon.

    Hi, a friend has sent me the file you made up on SVA. You have done a fabulous job. If you want to know anything about the later 30's, just ask me! Ha. Actually, I know one thing about the old campus even before I arrived in 1935. Also, Jean Hannah, Class of 1937 is now retired and living near Andrews U. could fill in lots of blanks as she spent all her formative and teen years at SVA. In that picture of the old campus, you or someone shows that concrete slab behind Elliott Hall as being a tennis court. That, actually, is what was left of the boys' dorm after it burned all the way down a year or two before I arrived there. The boys were left with only what they had on as they were attending supper and could not save anthing. If you wish to enlarge on your very nice creatiion, Elder Harris (called the SVA historian) knows where there are many archives on the history as well as pictures of the fire and all else, but you probably know all this. Anyway, GOOD JOB!!

    Keep up your interest in SVA. They need all the help/attention they can get. Thanks for your caring.
