While we were never close friends, and indeed he and I were very different people in high school, but I got to know Jonathan through 2 years of Physics classes with Mr. Quail.  I was continuously impressed by his intellect, and his ability to not only understand complex math and physics, but to link them to philosophical theories.  He also had a very esoteric sense of humor, that found a rare outlet among the very small (I think there were 6 of us) group in that 2nd year Physics class.  My favorite memory of him, though, was when he ran against me (and a bunch of others) for senior class president as a gag/protest against the whole popularity contest nature of the event.  In his speech (those of you who knew him are probably having a hard time envisioning him giving a speech at a podium in front of hundreds of his classmates) he grew impassioned and actually took off his shoe and pounded it on the podium.  It was awesome.  May he rest in peace.

Doug- Thanks for yet another data point to help prove my hypothesis on the disproportionate effect of gravity on human male hair. ;) We can compare notes at the reunion. Hope all is well in WI!
