I was going through pictures for the reunion this weekend and came across my first grade class picture. There was Barry right in front. Doesn't seem so long ago. And very hard to believe that bright smile is gone. Even though we were never really very close, I think of him often. He is permanently fixed as a major figure of my youth and I'll never forget him.
