In my senior year I had two classes with Vern and Darryll, in one class I sat in the back of the classroom with the two of them, I didn't do well in that class but it was a riot every day, lots of laughs, in the other class it was Mr. Pricert's english class. Mr. Pricert had us read as he was working on some papers for a class or presentation he was to make that night at U.C. Berkeley. He had to leave the classroom for a while and put Vern in charge (I questioned his judgement on this). After he left either Vern or Darryll went out and came back with a fake throwup barf that looked very real. They put it on top of his paperwork and had Darryll sit at the desk. When Mr. Pricert came back to the class, Vern said "oh Mr. Pricert, I had Darryll come up to read and he got sick". I watched Mr. Pricert's face go completely white as he was horrified, just then Vern picks up the barf and says "we were only kidding", at that moment the entire classroom erupted in laughter that you could hear around the entire school. Mr. Pricert was so happy his paperwork was okay he dismissed the class. The last time I saw Darryll and Vern together was when they were home on leave from the Marine Corp and showed up at a JC dance. Their stories of their expereinces at basic training were very funny, especially when Vern was caught wearing his Marine Corp PT trunks backwards and had explain why to the DI. They held court for hours. I miss the laughs we used to have.  

Glad to see an old face from the past. I hope all is well with you Vern. I'm not sure you remember me but I do remember some of the interesting things you and the others did. Take care!
