As this post falls into what I would call a "recognition article", I think the greatest emphasis should be on correct names.

While I wouldn't claim to be 100% sure, I think a couple have been misspelled. I went to Pavilion High School, and, one of my classmates was Dick Parks (not Park). And, a year ahead of me, was a fellow student, Doug Wright (not Dough).

As I said, I could be wrong. It's entirely possible that the people you listed are offspring of the guys I knew. Or, maybe they aren't even related. If you printed the correct names, then, my apologies to the two men. I just thought I'd point out a possible spelling error/typo.
