Hackensack High School
Yearbook Photo
1948

Around Christmas every year, many older graduates of the World War II and Korean War get together at the Maywood Inn. 

In December of 2013, I met Robert Kingsley and gave him a veterans form to fill out about his service. 

He was living in Paramus at the time and wrote his full name as
Robert Linscott Kingsley.  He stated that he had attended Hackensack High School from 1945 to 1948 and graduated in 1948. 

Robert L. Kingsley joined the service probably after college, although he does not mention that and served in the Army from September 2, 1952 till September 1, 1954.  He rose to the rank of Corporal. 

I, Bob Meli, knew Robert L. Kingsley as the very successful
Paramus High School baseball coach for many years.
