Geo and I were classmates and close friends all through junior high and high school. We were in all the same classes throughout most of those years. He loved going fishing and shooting hoops. He told me funny stories about guarding the Berlin Wall while he was in the Army and worked at the silk mill in Juniata after he came home.
