I just saw your posting for John Thompson. I did not know him, however, I have a 1940 Seaton yearbook. There is a picture of a John Thompson in the yearbook and other information. He was stage manager of the school play "The Nut from Brazil," in his junior year, stage manager of "Smart Boy" in his senior year, class president in his senior year, and he was on the "Arch" (the name of the yearbook) staff. The book also notes that his was better known as "Azz", due to his typing ability, and picked strawberies on the Wilson Brock 500 acre strawberry farm.
Just thought this might be the same person. You can contact me at
