http://www.publicschoolreview.com/school_ov/school_id/39361 lists a John Glenn High, as does the German Wik. There used to be a Catholic school in Bay City. I believe it went through high school. I don't know if it still exists.
There is still a school called John Glenn High School. It is in the Bangor Township School District, which is adjacent to Bay City. The Catholic High School in Bay City is Bay City All Saints.

I don't think this section should be on the page. Devoting more space to one man's story than the entire city's culture hardly seems encyclopedic. The Marvin Schur story will be forgotten in a relatively short time. WP isn't and shouldn't be a chronicler of current events. 71.236.137.8 ( talk) 09:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

--Material that was deleted from Marvin Schur section because it misrepresented Bay City's official statement, lacks impartially and is based on speculation;
"However, a natural gas furnace still requires electricity for the blower fan. An older, less energy efficient, furnace could easily consume more than the 10 amps of current allowed by the limiting device. It [h]as also been reported that Mr. Schur's telephone service had been discontinued, which perhaps further contributed to this very unfortunate incident." -- A. Poinçot ( talk) 09:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
The Marvin Schur event was tragic, but he was not the only person to die as a result of limiters. The section devoted to him is intellectually dishonest. In fact he was not the first person to die last year because of the combination of cold and limiters. He should have his own article, rather than having a section devoted to attacking the city itself. The media coverage was generated because of the increased spot like on Michigan's economic situation at the time, which it turns out his death was not related to this economic down turn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.231.165.217 ( talk • contribs) 23:25, 6 August 2009
Jason The Michigan Kid Lynch - Professional Billiards Trick Shot Artist, World Jump Champion 2008, ranked 9th in the World 2012 There seems to be quite a bit about him on the web. I thought the "cn" would be a reasonable compromise until somebody puts in a wp:rs. But I am not devoted enough to dispute this. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 17:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
I have known Jason for over a decade. Jason should be listed here, he is very well known in the billiards industry. He used to write an article for Inside Pool Magazine, he is also listed on McDermott Cue's website www.mcdermottcue.com as one of their cue ambassadors as well as a RACK team member on Gospel Trick Shot Ministries Site. www.gospeltrickshot.org He serves on both the APTSA ( Artistic Pool and Trick Shot Association) and the GTS (Gospel Trick Shot Association, Inc.) board of directors. His ranking has been as high as 9th in the world, but that suffered when he missed a tournament to take care of his wife that passed from cancer in May 2013. In my opinion, he should be elected into the Bay City Sports hall of fame for his work witnessing for Christ using Billiards. He has been to Africa, Iraq and China in that capacity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.14.218 ( talk) 14:45, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
