If you haven't been back to AHS for awhile, this is what it looks like as of 2015. When I attended AHS in the mid 1970's there were no tennis courts, the didn't have the weight room, or the cafeteria, or the addition on the back of the building or even the media center. It has changed a lot in the last 40 years.

-------- Obituary --------
Dennis (Denny) Wayne Sailsbury
1942-2021
Ames - Dennis (Denny) Wayne Sailsbury, age 78, passed away at his Ames, IA home on March 6, 2021 surrounded by his family. A gathering of friends and family will be 4-6:00 p.m. Thursday, March 11, at Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care, 414 Lincoln Way Ames, with a 11:00 a.m. Friday, March 12, graveside service at Ames Municipal Cemetery. Masks and social distancing are required at both events.
Dennis was born in Ames, Iowa on September 24, 1942. He was the oldest of four children of Dale and Martha Sailsbury. He was a graduate of Ames High School and resided in Ames his entire life.
Dennis married Betty Borg, of Forest City, IA, on October 3, 1964. He had a passion for photography and worked at the Ames Laboratory as a photographer for over 40 years. He carried his passion of photography into his family vacations and holiday celebrations. He was heavily involved with his children's (Hal, Eric, and Dan) activities. He rarely missed a practice or a game. He helped coached the sports teams they were involved in and was a cub scout leader for each of his three boys. He took many ski trips with his sons and grandchildren.
He was also devoted to his seven grandchildren (Chelsea, Alex, Jack, Roman, Calvin, Max, and Jonah). His grandkids had many overnights at grandpa and grandma's house as they loved how he allowed them to stay up late to watch movies, eat chips and salsa, and make malts with grandpa. The morning always greeted the kids with his famous pancakes, as he was the only one that knew how to make them the "right way".
He was a teacher at heart, as he loved teaching life skills to his kids and grandchildren on how to drive a boat, fish, camp, build wood working projects, and how to enjoy life.
Everyone knew Dennis as an avid RAGBRAI rider as he rode RAGBRAI for 27 years. After he decided not to ride anymore, he would provide support in transporting gear and setting up tents for his kids and grandkids when they would join the ride regularly.
Dennis was a staple in his involvement with Ames High School Football. During football season, for 40 years, you could find him on Friday nights volunteering his time at Ames High football games running the chains on the sidelines marking first downs. Because of his dedication and years of service, he received a distinguished service award from the Ames High School Athletic Department.
Dennis loved camping. He took his family on numerous camping trips over the years and spent many years with his sons and grandchildren on canoe trips in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota.
In retirement, he worked part time at Reiman Gardens at Iowa State University as a jack of all trades. He spent many hours building displays, performing maintenance on equipment, and mentored many of the student workers.
He was a member of the Golden K Kiwanis.
Dennis never turned down an opportunity to try something new, because he was always a kid at heart.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Betty; son Hal (Dana) and their three children, Chelsea Bright (Isaac and great-grandchild due May 27, 2021), Alex (fiancé Kiki Kramer), and Jack; son Eric (Margene) and their son Roman (fiancé Morgan Warbalow); son Dan (Megan) and their three sons Calvin, Max, and Jonah; his siblings Marilyn Smith of Jackson, MO, Paul of Ames, IA, and Glen of Dysart, IA. His parents, Dale and Martha, preceded Dennis's passing.

In 2016, Faith Mackenzie Shaw posted on social media, “I am a dancer. I don’t dance because I want to. I dance because I need to. I tell a story by the movements of my body.”
Faith didn’t just tell a story with dance; she told a story with her life–a life lived strong and courageously, a story told bravely and beautifully, a soul remembered fondly.
***************************************************************
Faith Mackenzie Shaw was a vivacious, feisty, energetic, loving, quirky, funny teenager who loved competition dance, art, photography, and puppies. She loved the Lord, her family, and her friends deeply and passionately. She always lived large, living life to the fullest as much as it was within her power, because she knew her life would more than likely be cut shorter than most. Faith was burdened with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening genetic disease that caused frequent lung infections and difficulty gaining weight.
Even through all of the struggles and challenges she faced with CF, Faith refused to let her disease define her and always rose above what CF should have allowed her to do. She exhibited a strength, perseverance, courage and tenacity that was unmatched by many.
“Journey of Faith” is the powerful story of not only her life-long battle with CF, the victories and struggles of a double-lung transplant, but also the journey of her remarkable faith in God right up to her very last breath – even when saddled with questions and doubt – and the beautiful legacy she left behind.
Faith had a large number of people following her journey and was a tremendous inspiration to a multitude of people the world over, including places as far reaching as Japan, the UK, the Netherlands and more!

She always lived large, living life to the fullest as much as it was within her power, because she knew her life would more than likely be cut shorter than most. Faith was burdened with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening genetic disease that caused frequent lung infections and difficulty gaining weight.
Even through all of the struggles and challenges she faced with CF, Faith refused to let her disease define her and always rose above what CF should have allowed her to do. She exhibited a strength, perseverance, courage and tenacity that was unmatched by many.
“Journey of Faith” is the powerful story of not only her life-long battle with CF, the victories and struggles of a double-lung transplant, but also the journey of her remarkable faith in God right up to her very last breath – even when saddled with questions and doubt – and the beautiful legacy she left behind.
Faith had a large number of people following her journey and was a tremendous inspiration to a multitude of people the world over, including places as far reaching as Japan, the UK, the Netherlands and more!
