Marty and I renewed our friendship 15 years after graduation. We were both married and living in Detroit. The funny and sweet high school kid became such a wonderful man, friend and husband. He left us way too soon.
I remember Marty very well. I am taking his memory and this space to state that I can no longer take receiving all of these memory reminders---send me the birth of grandchildren announcements instead.
I remember Marty used to eat peanut shells. He apparently was ahead of the curve when it came to adding fiber to his diet. I am not sure if he even bothered eating the peanut. Despite this minor quirk, he was a nice guy with a good sense of himor.
I knew that Marty had passed a while back through family. I lived on Altamont as he did and we were in the same sixth grade class at Boulevard. Still remember " co-starring" with him in our sixth grade French class play "Pinocchio". He was the star and I was his sidekick, Jiminy Cricket (a bit of typecasting perhaps?). Because I was quite tall at the time ( taller than he--a common sixth grade affliction) I had to perform the entire play ON MY KNEES!! ( try doing that now with arthritis!) I was in every scene with him even though I didn't have that many lines! The Cleveland Press took a photo and had me whispering in his ear--standing up and towering over him-- Pinocchio had a VERY large cricket for a friend!! I wish I still had that photo!! He was a sweet nice guy and I am sorry he is no longer with us.

I remember Martin from homeroom. He was always laughing at something. It certainly brightened the atmosphere. So sorry to read this
