So sorry to hear about Britt's passing. What a great guy. Fun to be around. A joker. We got called to Mr. Burkes office towards the end of our senior year. Britt and I thought it would be a good idea to pull a couple of fire extinguishers off the wall and spray all the cigarette smokers in the band hall bathroom. We ended up spraying about 6 or 8 before running out. Somehow Mr. Burke found out and we ended up in his office. I remember him saying, with a slight smile on his face, that "we shouldn't have done that" and he sent us back to class. I've told that story hundreds of times. Thanks for the fun times Britt.
