Rich 'Mac' McIntosh '71
Born:
March 24, 1953 at Tachikawa Air Base, Japan. Son of an Air Force C-119 Flight Engineer flying in the Korean War and a Japanese war bride.
Education:
Marshfield High School, class of 1971
United States Air Force Academy, class of 1975
Bachelor of Science in History
Indiana University, class of 1976
Master of Arts in History
Air War College, class of 1995
My parents raised me with dual priorities - grades and sports. When dad retired from a 23-year Air Force career in 1968 and moved to Oregon, he chose Marshfield for its academic and athletic reputation. The faculty, administrators and coaching staff offered a challenging, competitive and comprehensive education that nurtured future Olympians, Ivy League graduates, and leaders in medicine, the law and business. Janet Farr and I earned co-valedictorian honors, Lois McKenna chose me as editor of the MaHi Times, and Walt McClure named me captain of the boys varsity track and field team. Most importantly, I met and fell in love with Linnea Wright in sophomore English class. After earning her undergraduate degree from Oregon State, she married me in 1975 and together, we've created our greatest legacy: Rex Aris McIntosh and Rachael McIntosh Taylor.
I learned lessons from four hall-of-fame coaches in their prime, Stan Solomon (hurdling), John Johnson (JV football), Pete Susick (Varsity football) and Walt McClure (track) that inspired an intercollegiate career at the Air Force Academy. As a hurdler, I anchored a world and American record setting 240-yard shuttle hurdle relay team in 1975, earned Track and Field News All-America honors, and captained the team. Head Coach Arne Arneson chose me Most Valuable Track and Field Athlete as a junior and senior. Our hurdle relay team included state champions from Oregon. Hawaii and Arkansas and won the Drake Relays, Ohio State Relays and Michigan State Relays in the 1975 season.
Fighter aviation and command provided anchors for a 30-year career as an Air Force officer. I've pushed F-15 Eagles through skies over Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Virginia, Saudi Arabia, and Hawaii, logging nearly 2,000 hours an hour-and-a-half at a time. Command of detachments as small as 10 and as large as 300, including an Air Staff division at the Pentagon taught lessons about leadership, accountability, and team-building. My last assignment as commander of Air Force ROTC detachments at Loyola Marymount University, the University of Southern California (USC), and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) reinforced this primary life lesson - making people you care about successful provides intense personal and professional gratification.
I'm honored to be a member of the Pirate coaching fraternity and working to enhance a legacy that includes my most influential teachers, inspiring role models, and informative mentors

The OSAA began sanctioning girls' tennis in the state of Oregon in 1949. Marshfield didn't field it's first girls' team for another decade and a half but had two outstanding female tennis players who competed on the boys' team (Jackie Ford, class of 1955) or as an individual representing Marshfield High School (Marilyn Haliski, class of 1963).
In 1964, Coach Jan Rust decided the time had come to organize a girls' team. By 1967, tennis had taken it's grip on a number of Marshfield ladies who practiced diligently long after their regular practice hours were over. The extended practice sessions paid off as the Pirates took 1st place in singles (Mary Paczesniak), 1st place in consolation singles (Vicki Crumpacker), 1st place in doubles (Janie Chiene and Peggy Eddy),
2nd place in doubles (twins Anne and Angie Guenther), and 3rd place in doubles (Kathy Krummel and Carol Hanson) at the District Tournament in Eugene. With Paczesniak advancing into the semifinals in singles and Chiene and Eddy advancing into the semifinals in doubles at the State Tournament, the 1967 Marshfield girls'
tennis team tied with perennial tennis powerhouse Roseburg as the State High School Co Champions, becoming the first girls' State Championship team in Pirate history.

Angela (Guenther) Morrison - MHS 1968
Thanks to the sports program provided by Marshfield. sports activities became an integrated aspect of my life. After high school I played two yea: varsity tennis at Marylhurst College and when asked to play field hockey I played two years as center forward. My sister Ann and I also medaled in the Northwest Nationals Badminton tournament held at Washington University.
After college I continued to play recreational tennis with my husband who also enjoyed the sport. We went on many sports vacation and enjoyed meeting a variety of people as well as experiencing different cultures. I am now an avid golfer, never content to sit on the sidelines. However I do enjoy watching my many nieces and nephews as they participate in several different sports. Keep up this great program as it makes all individuals truly strong for life.

Annie (Guenther) Messerle - MHS 1968
Approaching sixty. I've thought a lot about my journey in this life and what stands out
as life-changing events. Playing tennis at MHS gave me a sense (11 family and a good group I could
be a part of. I loved being active and competing. Entering college I clung tightly to lily twill sister:
tennis, field hockey, and badminton.
In 1971 I married David Messerle and settled down to raising a family on a farm in the area I loved. During these years I was most grateful to be a stay-at-home mom. As the kids entered Coos Bay schools, I spent many days cheering them on and fundraising to keep their activities going. Always maintaining an open door policy, I remained active not only in my children's lives but in many of their friend's lives.
Life was great -I couldn't imagine it getting any better. Little did I know the miracle of grandchildren. We were extremely blessed during our children's college years as they too were able to find this sense of family away from home. Our eldest son Jeff had basketball, our daughter Steph had a great group of dorm friends, and our youngest son Josh had the woodsman team at the University of Montana. On October 6th 2006, my life was changed forever. My family suffered the horrendous loss of our son Josh. Going to MHS is no longer about sports and awards, but about suicide prevention and trying to save a life. By far the hardest game of my life. With the help of my family and community, I've turned our barn into a fundraising site, raising money for local families battling cancer. I call it "doing God's work." I am a fervent praying grandmother and pray I am a steadfast example of how to live life for God. Thank you and God Bless.

Janie (Chiene) Miller - MHS 1970
1967 District Doubles Champion
1967 Semi-Finalist State Doubles Championship
1967 State Team Tennis Championship
Since graduating from high school. I have spent most of my life in Coos Bay. In 1971. I married Doug Miller and was happily married for 18-1/2 years. My main hobby has been vegetable gardening. After becoming a widow, my first real career began in 1999 when I moved to Newberry Springs, California to become an RV park manager. The park was in sad condition, and I worked hard with the new owner for the next four years to see it transformed into a beautiful RV park. That was probably my most rewarding experience.
When my dad became ill in 2003, I returned to the Bay Area to live and help with his care until he passed away. My husband and I had always been renters, so another important event in my life was becoming a homeowner for the first lime. I chose a historic fixer-upper close to my childhood home which wiII probably always be a work in progress, but most important -- it has a large garden spot in the backyard! My hobbies are gardening, camping, reading and playing Scrabble.
Tennis-team wise the past few summers we have enjoyed some fun reunions at Mary Paczesniak's vacation home in Sisters. I am happy to say we have stayed in touch all these years and that my fellow team members will always be sonic of my very best friends. The highlight of my school years was definitely being a member of the Marshfield
