Yes Bob, that observation about Hope's brightening the day and being upbeat. I think we were stationed near each other for Hall Patrol or whatever it was called. And yes after 50 some years I remember this. Strong testimony to being just really nice, somewhat underestimated at the time, but not forgotten. My condolences to family and friends.

Dan, really greatly loved, and we will always remember in the fondest terms. He became the central guy in a loosely banded group of his High School friends, known as the Parkside Boys. I have great appreciation and respect for him, enhanced over time. Even though I have not seen him in many decades. We always remember and smile when Dan's name comes up. He experienced the process of growing up a step ahead of us, maybe 2 steps ahead. He is the one who was in the center, because he was just that good. And,... he worked at the Parkside Standard Gas Station, next to Sherman Park. See you on the other side.

Yes John, Ivars was a big guy in that small pool, he was always fun to be around. When I would ask why about something, he would give a shrug and a great smile, and say I don't know. I knew, he knew. Good memories of him, and I am sad that this is the time I remember him. So he is someone who I am hoping had a great life and wish I was around for more of his journey.
