[Rene's class year is estimated. His name appears in the 1942 Ho-Hi Life (made available by the Lake County Public Library, at: https://archive.org/details/HOHS1942Images), but his class is not indicated, and there is no 1943 edition available. He is listed as a WWII veteran, and the obituary says he "attended" Hobart High School, so he may have enlisted before graduation.]
