I knew Rod since the 2nd grade, from our days at Otho El. We were in the same homeroom in HS.
The funny things that I remember about him was, that he would get bored in HR and poke me with a pencil and try to get me to start telling one of my endless story's. One time he tied my hair to my deck, oh, he could be funny if he wanted to be.
On graduation day I remember him asking me "Do you even know who half of these people are? I have never even seen half of them before."
