Byron is such a special classmate that I can't let this opportunity go by and not mention some of my most memorable moments with Byron.
The hayrides were always fun but not all the stories around those hayrides hit the masses, thank God. There were so many hunting stories like riding in the back of Addisons pickup and shooting pheasants out of the back, both roosters and hens then bringing them to Grampa Stocks farm so his gramma could clean them for us as Byrons parents didnt approve. I spent numerous afternoons in the janitors room down across from Herme's office where the biolers were and Byron was doing pushups and burpies for hours trying to make weight for his wrestling match that night. And how about the shotgun fights out at fronnoings slue with all of us guys and the upperclassman like Tom Huber, Tom O'brien, Wayne Stock, Ken Pratt et.al. Lucklie no one got hurt shooting shotguns at each other playing 'WAR".
Byron was so lucky to have such a super family who would let us stay overnight out there and help Byron, Wayne and Mark and the girls with chores. Byron and Gloria were such a neat couple and Gloria still mourns Byrons leaving us all too early as do I.
PS: For those of you who read these memories about my great friends, I wonder why I dont see comments on Barb Olson, Mary Gail, Gail Dufty, Daryl Nelson, Billy Benda, John Lunde, Lois Luther and many many more. Come on you guys, Please share some stories with all of us about those who are no longer with us!!!!!!!!
