From one Cancer to another!Hope you have an awesome birthday, Teddy!

Was sad to see that Ron is gone, but I always wondered what became of him. I first remember him at Ogle. He was a bit overweight, a flat-top haircut. Resembled a bulldog then! He got teased quite a bit, but didn't let it bother him(at least on the outside). When we'd have P.E. class and played flag football, Mr. Jones would let us play rough. I guess our Phys. Ed. teachers' had a sense of humor too, and would get bored with the same old sh*t, but we played full-blown, tackle football. We were able to play like this for about two weeks, until someone snitched or got hurt?. During the time we played, Ronald was on our offensive line, he'd wipe-out two and sometimes, three people trying to rush the line. He gained alot of confidence during that period. We were 7th graders. He was in several of my classes throughout those 3 years at Ogle. He got a lil bigger, but always had a heart of gold. I did remember telling him that he'd work out well at Bowie Sr. maybe try out for football? I lost track of him during the Bulldog years. I deferred to run track due to Mr. Boyd being a c*ck-gayzer.Really screwed up any possibilities and ambitions I had then! But I wonder even now what kind of life Ron led prior to his demise. I can only hope it was pleasant, fulfilling, and full of good times/memories! I've been wanting to post here for so long, but didn't have the time I guess. But he was a cool guy, and when we were dealing with diversity before it was coined, he was not any different from anyone else. Take care Ron, I didn't forget the good times we shared!

I didn't see any activity as far as what you're doing. Not going to 35th Reunion? it would've been fun!
