In Memory

Kay Kawakami

Kay Kawakami died in the summer of 1955 (?) (after our sophomore year) of an asthma attack. Many of us will recall his giant smile and friendly nature. He was a member of BOA fraternity and a student manager of the varsity football team among other distinctions. I cannot forget what a wonderful guy he was and I have not found a match for the originality of his zest for life.

I went to elementary school with Kay and he was a very outgoing person. I remember when one day he

invited me to play football with him, Mike Tunick and some other guys. Me being a "tom boy" accepted and

I caught the ball and ran with it and scored a touchdown for the other team while everyone else was laying on

the ground in fits of laughter. Never played football since not even with my grandsons.
