Mike Marshall's Sister Passes Away

Received the latest issue of the SDSU alumni magazine today.  Noticed that during the past year, a Virginia R. (Marshall) Sattler passed away.  Was this Mike Marshall's sister?  An internet search found this obituary http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/fdlreporter/obituary.aspx?pid=156915513#fbLoggedOut
She was indeed Mike's sister. 


It seems that many in our class had older siblings that also graduated in 1967.  Perhaps some may have been cousins, but these siblings appear to be Elizabeth Ahlers (sister of Jackie), Duane Allison (brother of Marilyn?), Dennis Baker (Kayla's brother), Joyce Berge (David's sister), Mary Ann Berkland (Arlo and Arlys?), Phil Bjordahl (Joan), Tom Boggs (Larry), Ralph Bortnem (Mark), Dave Bozied (Tom), Richard Brown (Danny?), Dave Cavanaugh (Sue?), Bonnie Christie (Peggy?), Brian Darnall (Sharon), Brad Hamilton (Kim), Peter Hauff (Barb), Barb Hendricks (Nancy?), Ruth Herrig (Jim), Chuch Hoekman (Kay), Steve Holm (Dan), Dexter Johnson (Brian), Mary Ellen Josephson (Nancy?--she must have moved before graduating), Beth Kallemeyn (Bob), Tony Koenders (Greg), Lee Kratochvil (Mark), Jay Leibel (Alan), Terry Liebing (Dan), Catherine Linder (Barb), Linda Mehegan (Patty), JoAnn Person (Janette), Steve Quincey (Pat?), Jan Roberts (Gawain), Susan Robish (Pat?), Tom Simmons (Brenda), Anita Sloat (Donna), Jim Steen (Susan?), Bob Sterud (Martha?), Bob and Bill Sturdevant (Diane), Ron Thompson (Rick?), Ann Thysell (Karen), Brian Walsh (Jackie), Bob Wakeman (Jim), Jim Wright (Georgia).  If there are any other additions or corrections, please let me know. 

During the second semester of our junior year, my part-time job was working at the post office.  The postmaster at the time was Tom Lyons, father of Kris.  At first, my hours were only from 5:30 AM -8:00AM on Saturdays mornings.  After a while, Tuesdays during the same time slot were added.  Eventually Thursdays were also on the schedule. (Maybe that is why it was difficult to stay awak in some classes on those days). One of the part-time employees was Oran Sattler, a student and a gymnast at SDSU.  He was quite helpful in teaching me the procedures at the post office, and eventually married Mike's sister Ginny. 

The father of Mike and Ginny was Dr. Stan Marshall, the Athletic Director at SDSU.  I believe he was appointed to that position in 1965.  The 1967 Bobcat notes that Ginny Marshall transferred from Dearborn, Michigan.  If memory is right, Dr. Marshall received his doctorate from Wayne State University in Michigan.  For a number of years in the 70's and 80's, Mrs. Marshall was a secretary and aide at the high school.

Our belated thoughts and prayers go out to Mike and his family.
